Product Description

CD Description
An exquisitely packaged five-disc set, GROW FINS is manna for the Beefheart obsessive, though anyone who isn't already a fan might find it rough sledding. Disc One consists of demos from the original lineup of the Magic Band, featuring Ry Cooder, which were recorded in 1966 and 1967. Some of these songs ended up on the first Beefheart album, SAFE AS MILK. Disc Two is live tracks from 1968. Disc Three, the holy grailfor most Beefheart collectors, is outtakes and alternate takes from the TROUT MASK REPLICA sessions. Disc Four only hasa few more TROUT MASK outtakes, but it's an enhanced CD with fascinating live footage from four 1968-1973 shows.
Thelast disc mostly features '70s live material and demos fromthe late '70s/early '80s period of Beefheart's last musicalefforts. The sound is variable, but if you're a Captain Beefheart fan, GROW FINS is simply essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely unmissable, 2 Feb 2000
By Stephen Campbell (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Out-takes, demos, radio spots, live performances and all in a beautifully presented 'boxed' set (no nasty jewel cases here)with bound in booklet. A real labour of love. Completist heaven and wonderful performances covering his entire musical career centring on Trout Mask.

Perhaps not the best introduction but then why not. If you like Don's music and haven't got it yet there's only one thing left to do.....
