this publicity-shy guy, who uses a lot of artist's names from the king of luxembourg to his real one simon (fisher) turner, is well known for his splendid version of LONG NECK BOTTLES from clear spot on the various artists tribute 'fast 'n' bulbous'. it's even better than the original, i daresay, but strangely enough he never put that great track on one of the many records he has made...

... however, it now appears that in that same year, 1988, he did another beefheart cover: HER EYES ARE A BLUE MILLION MILES also from clear spot. and thís one was released on an elpee called 'sir', but stayed unnoticed (by me, at least).till last year, when a re-issue was produced, and as new technologies help to draw world wide attention we now have the opportunity to find out if this other van vliet cover is as good as the one we already know. a small problem, unfortunately, are the facts that the picture disc is hard to find and the two-on-one ceedee is made in japan, so good - but éxpensive. i noticed it is for sale at several cybershops, so maybe at common ones too.
