Review:
Size, as they say, isn't everything.
This little 10" gem is a must-have for the Beefheart collector's vault, with a mix of 2 Mirror Man tracks and 6 tracks from Safe As Milk albums - packed into a varnish-print picture sleeve displaying that iconic Cannes beach photo of the band.
Manufactured in England and distributed and marketed for Buddah in 1983 by Precision Records & Tapes (aka PRT, the rebranded Pye label), it's just possible the Captain may have come up with the sleeve title when experiencing French negative waves during the excursion.
My copy of "Music In Sea Minor" from EIL arrived about as pristine as an original copy. So, it's an A-major for service from me.

Review:
I may be wrong, but the original UK issue did not come with a 180g over-sticker (which may have been on the later issues with the small 'W' logo on the label's radius text? Original UK's did not have that logo).
IMHO, the original UK has a publication date of 1971 on labels, but was not released until Jan 1972.
Which looks like this one, with the white logo bottom-right http://eil.com/shop/moreinfo.asp?catalogid=488120

A great copy of this Beefheart essential! K44162)

Review:
Pretty much a 2 vinyl counterpart to BMG's 1999 CD with bonus tracks, lurking under the Simply Vinyl cloak. A nice repro sleeve, encased in a front-flapped clear poly-wallet resplendent with closure sticker.

Some interesting bonus tracks of outtakes from later sessions added, which can also be found on "I May Be Hungry, But I Sure Ain't Weird" and in their fullness on "It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper".

Round it off with a copy of "Strictly Personal", that has a 'Safe As Milk' track, for full satisfaction.

Captain Beefheart & Magic Band Safe As Milk Double Vinyl LP UNITED KINGDOM CPT2LSA464387Re: CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & HIS MAGIC BAND Safe As Milk (Deleted 1999 UK limited edition Simply Vinyl 19-track 2-LP set pressed on Heavyweight Virgin Vinyl - Originally released in September 1967, the debut album from Don Van Vliet & Co was a bold, tough-ass distillation of Delta blues stomp and 60s garage punk swagger, fused with a radically polyrhythmic and tempo-shifting style, pre-empting the jagged angularity of late 70s post-punk by a good 10 years. Features the classics 'Zig ZagWanderer', 'Electricity' & 'Dropout Boogie', and now comes expanded with 7 Bonus Recordings taken from the aborted 'Plain Brown Wrapper' sessions in late '67, including 'Safe As Milk', 'On Tomorrow', 'Big Black Baby Shoes', 'Flower Pot', 'Dirty Blue Gene', 'Trust Us' & 'Korn Ring Finger'; presented in deluxe picture sleeve, housed in a sticker-sealed PVC dust jacket)

Review:
This appears to be a remastered issue of the previously remastered 1999 CD from Buddha, with updated inner artwork & liner notes too, along with the bonus tracks that were on that CD.

Not a bad emulation of the original SAM, providing a interesting selection of the original sleeve's graphics & a few mini-pix of the band's venue appearances.

A reasonable purchase for those not wishing to enter the heady realms of getting their hands on one of the original vinyls of this iconic debut album by the band, which had a strong input by Ry Cooder, before he departed after the Mt. Tamalpais concert incident.

Originally released in September 1967, 'Safe As Milk' re-wrote the rule book, offering a unique take on delta blues, with spiky pre-post punk guitars fused with a radically polyrhythmic and tempo-shifting style! Includes 7 bonus recordings taken from the October/November '67 'Plain Brown Wrapper' sessions, complete with a lavish picture booklet containing sumptuous graphics by Pepperbox, wonderful liner notes by Kris Needs with comments from the stars of today, and more...)

I May Be Hungry.....
A pleasure to add this title today!! This is a seminal piece of work, this was definitely their best line-up, the guitar trade-offs between Jeff Cotton and Alex Snouffer is almost beyond belief! This and 'Mirror Man' (which actually preceded these recordings by about 6 months) are 2 of my fave Captain LPs, along with 'Safe As Milk'!

Captain Beefheart & Magic Band Strictly Personal CD Album UNITED KINGDOM CPTCDST361488Re: CAPTAIN BEEFHEART & MAGIC BAND Strictly Personal (1994 UK 8-track CD album, their 2nd album originally released in 1968 represented an enormous departure from 1967's 'Safe As Milk', incorporating more direct blues influences and showcasing thealmost telepathic improvisatory abilities of the guitar interplay between Alex Snouffer and Jeff Cotton! Producer Bob Krasnow decided to use some 'psychedelic' effects and washed many tracks thru with phasing, which the band despised! Fear not, this is GENIUS!)

An undisputable genius!
I have to admit a deep admiration for Don Van Vliet a/k/a Captain Beefheart, having only relatively recently been turned on to him! But what an artist!! This is probably his most accessible album, but is still 'out there' enough in places to hint at the twisted darkness that lay beneath the surface! The remastered/expanded CD of this LP, along with its companion, 'The Mirror Man Sessions', are both essential purchases to get an idea of the Captain's early output! Not as angular as 'Trout Mask' but still way ahead of the game, in a pre-punk but almost post-punk kinda way!
