CAPTAIN BEEFHEART AND HIS MAGIC BAND

"SAFE AS MILK"

THE LATE,GREAT DON VAN VLIET'S FINEST ALBUM WHICH STILL SOUNDS EXCITING TODAY!

A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON MANY ROCK MUSICIANS,PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE!

WAY AHEAD OF IT'S TIME AND SOUNDING POWERFUL IN TRULY MAGNIFICENT MONO! 

AN ORIGINAL UK PYE PRESSED 2ND ISSUE 1969 PYE INTERNATIONAL LABELS OF THE CLASSIC 1967 LP ISSUED WITHIN THE PYE/MARBLE ARCH SERIES BUT STILL RETAINING THE PYE INTERNATIONAL LABELS AND COVER LOGOS,HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT COVER.

BEST OF ALL IT IS THE SOLID,GUTSY MONO MIX!

MAL 1117 A-1/B-1 MATRIXES.

LATER REISSUES WERE ONLY IN STEREO!

THE RECORD IS NOT BRILLIANT LOOKING WITH SOME MOSTLY VISIBLE MARKS BUT PLAYS VERY WELL,DUE TO PYE'S LOUD DEEP CUT PRESSINGS!

A DECENT SOUND WITH ONLY MINOR SURFACE NOISE AND A FEW SHORT LIVED MINOR CLICKS.

NO NASTY LOUD"THUDDERS",NO STICKS OR JUMPS AND IDEAL TO OWN UNTIL A POTENTIAL LATER UPGRADE WHICH MAY NOT BE EASY IN THE MONO MIX!

EVEN THIS REISSUE FROM 1969 WAS SHORT LIVED AND IS CURRENTLY RATED AT £40 IN THE LATEST RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE.

PROBABLY THE RAREST AND BEST LP ISSUED ON THE MARBLE ARCH LABEL,USUALLY THE HOME OF COMPILATION AND COVER ARTISTS LPs!

ALLOWING FOR THE CONDITION,MY REALISTIC STARTING PRICE IS £10 -25% OF THAT VALUE! 

This was a poor selling album at the time and I am sure it was deleted within a year of issue which explains it's rarity in 2010 although of course there have been a few later reissues over the years BUT ONLY IN STEREO!

THIS ITEM IS A BIT BELOW MY USUAL STANDARDS BUT MUST BE WELL WORTH IT AS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG WHICH MAY BE AN EXPENSIVE AND UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN.  

THE DISC HAS A NUMBER OF SURFACE MARKS AND SOME SCUFFS BUT ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE,SOME MINOR SHORT LIVED CLICKS,SOME SLIGHT DISTORTION AT A FEW OF THE PEAKS AND THE SURFACES DON'T LOOK WONDERFUL,IT PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH LOTS OF DEEP BASS AND OF COURSE THE LOUDNESS OF THE MUSIC COVERS UP MOST OF THE SURFACE NOISE BUT THIS SURFACE NOISE IS NOT THAT OBTRUSIVE.

I PLAYED IT THROUGH ON TWO DIFFERENT DECKS 3 TIMES AND TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE IT PLAYS REALLY WELL,FAR BETTER THAN THE INITIAL INSPECTION WOULD SUGGEST!

FAR BETTER THAN NOTHING AND WITH A VERY TEMPTING AND REALISTIC £10 START!

JUST TO HAVE THE MOODY AND MAGNIFICENT COVER IS WELL WORTH A TENNER!!!   

Here is your chance to get one of the rarest and BEST LPs of 1967 and indeed the last 43 years! 

THE LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS SOME  EDGE CREASES,SOME NOTICABLE STAINING AT THE BACK(TWICE!) AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME AT THE BACK BUT NO RIPS OR REPAIRS!

PREVIOUS OWNER'S NAME ON ONE OF THE LABELS AND SOME"SPOT"STAINING. 

COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT EVEN IN THIS CONDITION!  

 MOST WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON POOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT AND A FAVOURITE FOR PARTIES TO SATISFY DIFFERENT MOODS!
