Customer Reviews:

Excellent Introduction to 60s Beefheart.......2006-08-03

I can't think of a better way to introduce yourself to the early Captain. One reviewer has quibbles aplenty with,'Electricity', but while understanding those, not for a moment would I pass up on this 'cheapie'. The soung quality is good to excellent, and the material is right out there with the most consummate stuff the Captain ever produced. The nucleus of, 'Safe is Milk' is here, if you haven't got it.'Sure 'nuff 'n Yes, I do', 'Zig zag' the title track,'Tarot plane,'Kandy Korn', 'Yellow Brick Road', the parody of the Beatles,'Stawberry Fields'; all this razzles and dazzles, just as it did in the 60s. That's presence!

so,so good.......2001-05-02

This is a bargain buy if ever there was one. It's cheap (well i got it cheap) and has amazing music, pre-trout replica. If you want an intro to cap and aren't willing to risk a particular album, get this one because it has stuff from 3 albums. Short little songs and long bluesy jamming. Some highlights are 'abba zabba' 'surenuff n yes i do' 'moody liz' 'dropout boogie'. I cannot recommend this cd strongly enough!!

Excellent collection of early Beefheart.......1999-05-22

I got this record today and liked it a lot. I've heard most of the songs on this CD on either my friends' old vinyl records years ago or some CD containing alternate takes of early Beefheart sessions. I think this is an excellent collection. What is really good is that the selections from Strictly Personal are presented without the ludicrous psychedelic production that the original vinyl record had. I did not notice any big problems with sound quality (see the other review) -- at least coming through my computer's speakers the record sounded all right.
