Bluejeans & Moonbeams

VINYL FORMAT. Exact repro reissue of Captain Beefheart's ninth album, originally released in 1974. Recorded during his more commercial period and featuring some sort of prop formation of the disbanded Magic Band that would never appear on any other recording, this one goes down smoother than Trout Mask and, while historically written off by purists as the one to forget about, actually stands as a testament to how authentically weird Van Vliet could be, even at his most normal. Includes a cover of J.J. Cale's "Same Old Blues" and "Party Of Special Things To Do," a track later covered on a 2001 EP by the White Stripes (who would've thought?).
