Notes
1st press USA issue, with auto-coupled discs, 'Straight' labels with a '2' prefix to STS 1053 cat# & the 'Straight'/'Bizarre' address on label radius text.
Vinyl in black 'Straight' liners with 'Bizarre' address.
6-page, 2-fold white paper insert printed single-color black (folds to 12"x12"), lyrics within. Front has half-tone photo of school-age Don Vliet inside a panel, with legend; "Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart". Back & inner spread has line illustrations by "The Mascara Snake" [Vliet's cousin]. Inside facing-page has handwritten 'Manta Ray' poem which is under-signed 'Don Van Vliet'.
Works all contained in unlaminated gatefold sleeve.
(Pasted, no internal glue-tabs)
Errata on labels vs sleeve:
"Moonlight On Vermont" is printed wrongly as "Moonlight In Vermont" on label.
"The Blimp" is printed "The Blimb" (wrongly) & has "(Mousetrapreplica)" suffix on label.
[The intro voice is that of Zappa, recorded via a telephone link to Zappa's studio - with Antennae Jimmy Semens narrating from Vliet's script over the 'phone from the 'Magic Band house'. A field-to-studio recording, on which was resident on a tape channel the members of The Mothers performing the drum-passage to "Charles Ives" aka "Didja Get Any Onya?"]
Track A4: "Flesh Horn" is a Vliet affectation for the 'cupped hand'-to-the-mouth (hence flesh), used to create a 'vocalized horn' effect.
Tracks A6 & D8 recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders
Remaining tracks later recorded at Whitney Recording Studios (and within 'The Magic Band House')
Drummer, John 'Drumbo' French, was not credited on this album. (It is now accepted that his transcription of Beefheart's concepts/score for other band members was fundamental in its production. See notes in 'Grow Fins' box set).
One known official single was released from this album in France: Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band* - Pachuco Cadaver

This Is Truly A Must Have Item for the Captain Beefheart Fan or Collector!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Please note: All of the items that I sell are from my own personal collection.
This is a collection that I have maintained and added to for well over 30 years.
I, am not a store, or a business. I am a private collector, selling off some of my personal collection.
Please Note: I had a major surgery over a year ago, but I am having some difficult complications and disability
as a result, this sometimes gets in the way of my e-baying. So, if my turn around time takes a little longer then most sellers,
(I have a 30 day shipping window) I really do apologize in advance.
Also, I always ship items in proper shipping packaging, with padding or packing peanuts or cardboard bracing.
Whatever is required to get it safely through the worldwide mail systems.
About shipping - The US Post Office raised the rates on postage as of January 1st 2013.
Also, please understand this in advance, I use the e-bay calculator to figure out postage.
Sometimes, it is wrong, and presents a cost that is higher then the actual cost at the post office.
If and when this is the case, I always refund the difference via Paypal.
Please Note: Overseas Packages that go through the Customs system, can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to Process and Deliver, this IS normal.
For Russia and the Middle East, this can take even longer and is completely out of my control, so please be patient.
Also, there is a small (cost) fee for the packaging materials that I get from Box City, in order to safely ship the items.
Many Thanks.
