CAPTAIN BEEFHEART 'The Classic Interviews' CIS 2009

PREVIOUSLY UNPUBLISHED CAPTAIN BEEFHEART INTERVIEWS RELEASED ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Captain Beefheart never played by the rules – and that’s why we love him. On this CD, a rare, mid 1970s interview he gave to journalist Steven Rosen, reveals the good Captain as possibly the most charming man in rock 'n' roll with an intellectual capacity unmatched in that often shallow genre.

Discussing everything from his world view ['Actually we all get on rather well, considering how many people there are in the world'] to his then current favourites on the pop chart [David Essex and The Stylistics get full marks], this relaxed conversation is unlike any rock performer interview you've ever heard.

Proving once and for all that with Beefheart you can only ever expect the unexpected, this fascinating document finds a man at the height of his creative prowess happy to discuss what really makes him tick.

Release Date: 15th November 2004. By then available at all major retail outlets, and via the Chrome Dreams website. Recommended Retail Price: £7.99.

ugh, he likes david essex, and the stylistics?... then this 'spoken painting' must be from his disastrous year 1974, when he had taken the wrong course! let's hope the interview took place on one of his better days,,,,
