EXPLANATION FOR THIS BLANK SPOT
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 i seem to be the only one wanting to do the job but just lack the time,
i fear you'll never get to know the full story.
