Don't let the Beefheart purists spoil your fun! His two mid 70's virgin albums contained some amazing moments and provide a fascinating insight when compared with his less commercial music
About half this album is from this era, which typically contain beautifully crafted lyrics and music, love songs and harmonic, long lasting dreamy guitar solos...
The other half of the album presents Beefhearts alternative side, taken from various later albums. The experimental rythmns and free form lyrics that make Beefheart an underground hero are all presented here
To add to all this, between some of the tracks they have inserted short spoken word monologs, some of these are funny, some are serious but all add to the magical feel of the album
This is a very good introduction to the music of Captain Beefheart. OK so it doesn't contain any of his earlier more bluesy songs, or anything from the experimental Trout Mask Replica album, but it's the perfect introduction to his later work
I would definately recommend this album as an introduction to Beefheart, so long as people realise his earlier songs aren't on this album. For his 60's work you can't beat the Electricity compilation album!

There are some seriously good songs on this album both from his 'commercial album' attempts and the later brilliantly experimental years. It makes a good collection of songs that would otherwise take some effort to accumulate. Some may criticise the Bluejeans and Moonbeams era but as Kate Bush said 'its an album where Don van Vliet has written lovesongs like no one else'. The label 'commercial Beefheart song' is misleading. They weren't successful, aren't conventional and contain real heart and soul. If you want the radical and raw Beefheart this isn't the album for you but if you want to explore his wider vocabulary there is some great stuff here.

Love this album!! Admittedly I struggle with Trout Mask Replica. This combines Beefheart experimental and some of the sweetest songs I've ever heard. Stick some headphones on to this stuff people.

Why did Beefheart leave the music business?
One reason is releases like this. The track listing isn't too bad if you allow for the fact that it's mostly Virgin material, which means not his 100% best but still better than... Read more
