Description
1981 original vinyl 2 LP set in a single cover (DON-12981) by Captain Beefheart and the Magic band live at The Country Club in Reseda CA. This is a quality part-official release, packaged in a regular card-weight gloss-print sleeve, with a photo of Vliet and one of his sketches on the cover - printed 3 color.
This is possibly an actual God's Golfball project, a concept/company belonging to Vliet for a short period. The apparently random cat# is actually the recording date. The quality of the package is also higher than for a regular 'bo0tleg'.
The 2 vinyl records have blue & white labels, headed with "Don Van Vliet" rather than the band name. Apart from the addition of the last 2 tracks, from difficult to acquire singles, this album is simply a live recording of the band's performance at The Country Club, Reseda, California on 29th January 1981. The credits give the recording source as those of Wally Heider Sound's remote facility, which explains the sound quality.
Bonus tracks on side 4 "Hard workin' man" is a Beefheart classic, from a soundtrack of the film "Blue Collar", The other track was the only non LP track of the 80's if I recall (off a 4 track EP).

All records are BLACK VINYL unless noted & inserts/gate-fold covers/posters/custom inner sleeves will be noted in the description if they are included plus promo & cut-out marks stated if they are there also. I don't believe in hiding stuff & try to note most everything that should matter to buyers. All 12" vinyl on ebay is automatically listed as 33 1/3 rpm & 7" vinyl as 45 rpm (to save time on listing all this stuff) if you need to confirm speed on a specific item please ask & I can go check.
