5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable! How good is this?!, 10 Jan 2007

By	Mr. G. Thomas "supertzar" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm reeling from my first listen to this album. I read 2 star magazine reviews and thought I'd better not bother. But then watching Beefheart again on the Whistle Test, and knowing this was the same band made me take the chance. It's utterly brilliant. Maybe the poor reviews stem from Beefheart albums always being given to the acknowledged 'far out' reviewer, for whom Captain Beefheart starts with Trout Mask Replica and ends with Lick My Decals.

This is a very musical and accessible album - which is probably in itself why hardcore Beefheart fans dismiss this whole era. But anyone who's seen how tight and melodic they were on the Whistle Test is in for a treat. Gorgeous versions of Upon the My-o-My and This is the Day, then blues rock versions of earlier stuff - a little bit like Lou Reed's Rock and Roll album in both approach and sound.

Anyway, this review is written for anyone like me who has sat on the sidelines waiting for a less hardcore way into Captain Beefheart. Yes I've got TMR, but how many times have I played it in 20 years? Not many compared to Bongo Fury, and now I have this. Wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Brilliant, 7 May 2008

By	Softugo (Edinburgh) - See all my reviews

As the other reviewer here said this album received 2 star ratings in magazines and newspapers. I thought it was not worth listening to until I read what he had to say about that and I agree, this is wonderful Beefheart. Imagine the situation, the Magic band ups and leaves, to form Mallard and Don has to either cancel the tour or find another band quick, according the the sleeve note he said he had just 5 days and 4 rehearsals before the tour.
On the evidence here it was a great success. Michael Smotherman says they had never heard Beefheart's records and had very limited guidance on how to play the songs, so was surprised at how different they sounded from the originals. I like that, I have all the originals and what I don't wan is just a pale copy of them. These versions are fresh and new. The recording quality here is first rate, particularly for 1974. I am glad to add this to the rest of my Beefheart collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars It sure ain't weird, 18 Jan 2009

By	Ant Man Bee (Deepest Sussex, UK) - See all my reviews

I'm a lifelong Beefheart fan and can bore on Trout Mask Replica like all the others. But this is simply a great listen recorded during the Captain's brief flirtation with pop fame. This version of the Magic Band are in great form and the sound quality is surpisingly good despite of few pops and crackles on the downloaded version. This sits proudly alongside my Peel Sessions from the 60's.
