Captain Beefheart 1st Press UK 2LP Trout mask replica VG+ ’68 Straight STS1053
Rare Original 1st Press Uk 2LP released in 1968 on Straight Records. Cat: STS 1053. Comes in Gatefold sleeve. Matrix Numbers: STS 1053 A1/ STS 1053 B1/ STS 1053 C1/ STS 1053 D1Trout Mask Replica is Captain Beefheart's masterpiece, a fascinating, stunningly imaginative work that still sounds like little else in the rock & roll canon. Given total creative control by producer and friend Frank Zappa, Beefheart and his Magic Band rehearsed the material for this 28-song double album for over a year, wedding minimalistic R&B, blues, and garage rock to free jazz and avant-garde experimentalism. Atonal, sometimes singsong melodies; jagged, intricately constructed dual-guitar parts; stuttering, complicated rhythmic interaction all of these elements float out seemingly at random, often without completely interlocking, while Beefheart groans his surrealist poetry in a throaty Howlin' Wolf growl.
