  1969 "STRAIGHT" RECORDS ORIGINAL

                 MINTY CLEAN VINYL

Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band

     Lick My Decals Off Baby

                       ...USA - - STRAIGHT RECORDS - 6420

Original 1969 first pressing on the legendary STRAIGHT Records label...includes the original "Straight Records" inner sleeve to the pressing...

Captain Beefheart was one of modern music's true innovators. The owner of a remarkable four-and-one-half octave vocal range, he employed idiosyncratic rhythms, absurdist lyrics and an unholy alliance of free jazz, Delta blues, latter-day classical music and rock & roll to create a singular body of work virtually unrivalled in its daring and fluid creativity which flourisjes all over the aptly titled "Lick My Decals Off, Baby!"

Stylistically similar to TROUT MASK REPLICA with the important differences of being only a single album and having (or at least appearing to have) only one guitar. As such, the guitar and bass are in separate speakers and the instrumental interplay and overall sound is much thicker and bassier. This is excellent for all those folks who loved the challenging nature of Trout Mask but were turned off by the noodly wiry high-twangin' guitars. Actually, I don't even know if such people exist. But if they do, they dance around in the little Dandelion Park of Happy Dreams and peacefully cohabit with all the other villagers of NiceLand.

So yes, it's bassier and fuller, but just as rhythmically and melodically confusing and complicated, with the added element of "vibes" or "xylophone" or whatever it is that Ruth Underwood used to play in Frank Zappa's band way back in the 1970s America. And the ol' Cap is up to his usual tricks, shouting in no rhythm at all and casting song titles like "I Love You, You Big Dummy," "I Wanna Find A Woman That'll Hold My Big Toe Till I Have To Go" and "The Buggy Boogie Woogie." Can you believe this crazy kook?

CONDITION: The cover is prone to shelf wear with its dark cover, this one has only a little light shelf wear just starting, VG+(+) all seams are solid and otherwise collectible if you can get past a little light shelf wear...no seam splits, no bends and no writing...

The vinyl is all glossy clean M- ...SO clean and nice, then easily plays real minty clean enjoyable without problem...serves as a great (GREAT) upgrade or first time score...
