CAPTAIN BEEFHEART
DON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT NEAR MINT COPY OF AN ULTRA RARE FIRST PRESSING TWO VINYL RECORD COLLECTION.CALLED THE DOUBLE EUROPEAN BOOTLEG.I HAVE ONLY SEEN TWO OTHERS ON EBAY SOLD OVER TWO YEARS AGO IN USA AND NOT WITH THIS COVER.I WILL PUT DOWN ALL THE INFO I HAVE MUSTERED SO FAR.
CAT NO DB 501\2.RECORDED AT THE SHOWBOX,SEATTLE JANUARY 15TH 1981 ON DON VAN VLIET'S 40TH BIRTHDAY.THE BAND HAD BEEN DOING A EUROPEAN TOUR AND BY NOW THEY HAD FINALLY SETTLED IN AND GOT THEIR S..T TOGETHER.IT WAS RECORDED IN THE FAR NORTH WEST AND RIPE FOR BOOTLEGGING.IT IS RECORDED IN HIGH RONDO-LETTE FIDELITY..AS IT SAYS ON THE BACK COVER.
BY ALL ACCOUNTS THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB..DESCRIBED AS EXCELLENT MONO ON THE COVER... AND AMONG BEEFHEART AFFICIONADO'S IS OFTEN QUOTED AS THE BEST OF THE BEEFHEART BOOTLEGS.A GREAT AND RELAXED LIVE GIG WITH A BRILLIANT VERSION OF HOT HEAD\ASHTRY HEART AND A SUPER FAST SAFE AS MILK.THE AUDIENCE SINGS DON A 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' SONG AND BEEFHEART COMMENTS ON THE 'URINE COLOURED LIGHTS AND HORRIBLE SMOKE SMELLS.
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING OF THE VINYL BUT SECOND PRESSING OF THE COVER.THE FIRST COVER WAS A COPY OF AN ANTON CORBIJIN PHOTO FROM THE MOJAVE DESERT SESSIONS ON A MUSTARD YELLOW BACKING.THIS .. AND UPGRADED IN MY OPINION.. VERSION IS A 4 COLOUR CARTOONY BOLD DRAWING OF THE SAME PICTURE.THE BACK COVER IS A SILHOUETTE OF THE DON WITH THE TRACK LISTINGS.I WILL LIST THESE IN A BIT.
THE VINYL IS THICK GREY CHARCOAL WITH A MARBLE EFFECT.SEE PICS.THERE ARE WHITE LABELS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VINYL AS IT WAS PRODUCED..NO TRACK LISTINGS.
COVER IS IN GREAT CONDITION.A SMALL ..VERY SMALL ..AMOUNT OF SCUFFING ON THE TOP OF THE FRONT COVER BUT VERY MINIMAL.THE VINYL..BEING A MARBLE EFFECT..YOU HAVE TO CHECK CLOSE UNDER LIGHT BUT I CAN SEE NO MARKS OR SCRATCHES TO WRITE ABOUT.CERTAINLY IF THERE ARE SURFACE MARKS THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL TO AFFECT THE PLAYING.THIS REALLY IS A MUST HAVE ITEM FOR ANY SERIOUS BEEFHEART COLLECTOR
