Notes
This stereo release, on red "Buddah" labels, followed shortly after the mono release.The vinyl is contained in a 2-sided black & white half-tone photo-montage liner, of band members, session artists, engineers & producer.
One side reads "May The Baby Jesus Open Your Mind And Shut Your Mouth", the back reads "Caution: Electricity May Be Hazardous To Health".
(Not all of the personnel shown on the liner are credited).
The 380mm x 100mm 'bumper sticker' (with "Safe As Milk" text and a cutout baby's head color image) is missing from this item ! !
(This release also exists, as another version, in a mono sleeve with a 'stereo' over-sticker obscuring the 'Mono' print. This was issued prior to the printing of a stereo sleeve. Later, there was a further version - with the stereo cover shown, but without a montage-image liner on expiration of printed stock.).
Reports suggest Richard Perry played the Harpsichord on "Call On Me".
Label variant: Differs from Safe As Milk in the following ways:
-Artist name on 1 line instead of 2
-Side 1 & Side 2 on left side, instead Side One & Side Two
-Stereo above cat # & matrix # on right side
-Track titles left justified, instead of centered
Matrix Variant: Same stereo cover, "Baby Jesus" montage inner sleeve, and red label with two lines for artist and title and centered track listings with matrix runout variants as indicated. There does not appear to be another sub with the matrix variant as listed on a red label. See however: Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band - Safe As Milk which includes a mono sleeve stickered as "Stereo," a kaleidoscope label and matrix runouts to match the variation.

Hard To Find In This 1967 US Vintage Vinyl Edition !!!
Vinyl Is In Good Plus Plus To (Mostly) Very Good Condition. (there are three deep scratches on side two, not super deep, but audible - there are quite a few small light scratches & small light surface scratches, nothing really deep. but still, some of them are probably also audible - there are a few rubbing / scuffing marks on the vinyl, this is probably from decades of living is a really cheap paper inner sleeve - there is some general age related wear - all that being said, this is still an entirely playable and enjoyable album - and, it is a First Edition (on the Red Label Buddah Records of the classic 1967 first Captain Beefheart album, which is pretty hard to find.)
Cover Is In Good Plus Plus To (Mostly) Very Good Condition. (there is some general age related wear - there is some edge wear - there is some ring wear)
Inner Sleeve Is In Very Good To (Mostly) Very Good Plus Condition.
This Is A Really Great Find for the Captain Beefheart Fan or Collector!

Please note: All of the items that I sell are from my own personal collection.
This is a large collection (that I have maintained and added to for well over 40 years),
that I am now divesting, due to mounting medical bills.
I, am not a store, or a business.
I am a private collector, selling off large parts of my personal collection.
Please Note: Despite a major surgery that I had a while ago, I am still dealing
with a lot of extreme complications and chronic disability.
As a result, this sometimes gets in the way of my e-baying.
So, if my turn around time takes a lot longer then most sellers,
(I have a 30 day shipping window) I really do apologize in advance.
I know it is a (potentially) long delivery window,
and you may want to consider this before bidding.
Also, I always ship items in proper shipping packaging, with padding
or packing peanuts or cardboard bracing as needed. I use whatever is
required in order to try and get it safely through the worldwide mail
systems. As a result, there is a small (cost) fee for the packaging materials
that I get from Box City, in order to safely ship the items.
Also, please understand this in advance, I use the e-bay calculator to
figure out postage. Sometimes, it is wrong, and presents a cost that is
higher then the actual cost at the post office. If and when this is the case,
I always refund the difference.
Please Note: Overseas Packages that go through the Customs system,
can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to Process and Deliver, This IS Normal.
For Russia and the Middle East, this can take even longer and is
completely out of my control, so please be patient.
Many Thanks.
