Grow Fins: Rarities (1965-1982)

Product Information

I can't separate it easily from The Spotlight Kid in my memory because I have both albums on one twofer CD. After joining this forum in 2007 and lurking here under the radar for a couple years prior I decided to join up and contribute what I could but learn a lot more from the members here of this forum. A special vinyl edition was also released on Table Of The Elements containing 6 LPs, a a poster and a 24 page libretto.

Dachau Blues,” for example, from his 1969 masterpiece Trout Mask Replica sounds almost laughable in its clattering cacophony. I’m not sure why they tarted up the final version; maybe to make it less sharp around the rusted edges? The TMR house sessions predates postpunk by a decade, and warrants a repraisal of the original classic but discs 1-2 makes the case that "Safe As Milk" was the better album.

The vinyl set libretto features all the notes and most of the pictures in the CD book and the CD set will not contain the poster.

You could tell me that's just a piece of music, and therein the division lies Some of his work is so evocative I believe it is art, and best absorbed in a flowing, open mindset, not too fussed with rules, just very Zen, let it wash over you, the music from his classic era is a place.

We will pay the proceeds of any such sale to you, but will deduct any storage charges or other sums that we have incurred in the storage and sale of the Lot.

The most interesting track here is a 1975 radio version of Orange Claw Hammer, featuring Frank Zappa providing remarkably sympathetic guitar accompaniment. Although it was their third released album, Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band arrived with 1969’s sprawling Trout Mask Replica. And with a suitcase like that to lug around, no wonder Don Van Vliet put out his 12th and final album in 1982, before retiring to the high desert or coastal mountains or wherever to paint his broad-stroke nature abstractions and fade away.Some of the most compelling moments in Captain Beefheart’s recorded legacy have been heard by just a handful of people. This release was shortly followed by the first part of the content of the CD set on vinyl, as 'Vol I' of three.
