not only did it take captain beefheart and the magic band several brainstorms to learn this legendary new music - the captain by sleeping and the band by rehearsing - and a few legendary sessions to record it (with the producer sleeping) but, worst of all, about ten different pressings / versions in half a year to meet the steadily growing demand. these weird happenings have never been investigated profoundly and as (again) i seem to be the only one wanting to do the job but have no time, i fear you'll never get to know the full story. |
