What Beefheart?

A Listmania! list by Neil Barrett
 
Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot
1.  Spotlight Kid/Clear Spot by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "As good a place to start as any. It's a two-fer from 1971-2, and it's got some of the captain's most successful accessible material, delivered in his confident howl."
£3.99   Used & New from: £1.67

Trout Mask Replica
2.  Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "It's great that you can buy Beefheart albums so cheap nowadays. What can I say about this one? It's mad - totally mad. If you don't like it, then try out Safe as Milk."

Safe As Milk
3.  Safe As Milk by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Superb reissue from Buddha. Loads of cool bonus tracks. What a band they were at this stage. I don't listen to the album all that much though - it's easy to tire of all this drippy 60's korn."
£3.97   Used & New from: £1.72

Mirror Man
4.  Mirror Man by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Another well put-together reissue. A sprawling blues album from 1968, with some trademark Beefhearian clattering thrown in."

Lick My Decals Off Baby [VINYL]
5.  Lick My Decals Off Baby [VINYL] by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Back to Trout Mask territoy, released in 1970. Still not available on CD - why? What a great album this is."

Doc at the Radar Station
6.  Doc at the Radar Station by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Probably the only Beefheart album that stands alone. It has a very dry sound, and the guitar playing is extremely aggressive. Great tunes - my favourite post-Virgin album."
Used & New from: £4.39

Ice Cream for Crow
7.  Ice Cream for Crow by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "This is another good one. More all over the place as they really cleared the vaults to get this together. With Ink Mathematics, Hey Garland.. and The Host.., Beefheart showed he could still write."
Used & New from: £2.65

Grow Fins: Rarities (1965-1982)
8.  Grow Fins: Rarities (1965-1982) by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "If you've got this far and you want more, seek out the box set. Live tracks and oddities from 65 - 81, with a great inlay. Trout mask rehearsals, it's all here, and some of it doesn't sound half bad."
Used & New from: £75.00

The Classic Interviews
9.  The Classic Interviews by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Ooo. An interview CD. I've preordered this - how intruiging. The captain was pretty good in his interviews, if a little sideways spoken."

The Dust Blows Forward - An Anthology
10.  The Dust Blows Forward - An Anthology by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "By the looks of the track listing, this is the compilation to get. Much better than that awful EMI release, and 'Electricity' on Camden. However it is very dear."
Used & New from: £28.78

Strictly Personal
11.  Strictly Personal by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "How could I forget Strictly Personal. In fact I didn't. Great album, but not essential. This CD release has some pretty informative liner notes."

Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)
12.  Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller) by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "The re-recording of Bat Chain Puller, from 1978. It has some really great songs on it, but it's not in my top ten, somehow."

Dust Sucker
13.  Dust Sucker by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Why buy this album, when you can find a beefheart fan who'll trade you a much higher quality version of the Bat Chain Puller album, that will have been equally sanctioned by Don and the Zappa estate."

Railroadism: Live in the USA 1972-1981
14.  Railroadism: Live in the USA 1972-1981 by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Track quality - poor. Choice of tracks - really pretty excellent. Shame they gave up and put so many songs from the birthday show in at the end. It's worth it for China Pig/Railroadism alone."
Used & New from: £24.98

15.  Magnetic Hands - Live in the UK 1972-1980 by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "As above - they were doing so well until they slipped in 5 tracks from the Liverpool gig. This is meant to be a compilation guys! I already bought the Liverpool boot."

dichotomy
16.  dichotomy by Captain Beefheart
The list author says:
  "Just don't buy this. These guys should know better that to make up a load of old rubbish. The song titles are wrong and often misleading. Check out the review on beefheart.com."
