Captain Beefheart

The Legendary A&M Sessions 

1984 Canadian LP (SP-12510)

24 bit, 96 kHz


24 bit, 96 kHz needledrop of a near-mint copy of the brief 1982 Canadian mono LP, featuring the early tracks Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band recorded in 1965 - two singles and a till-then unreleased track, "Here I am, I always am".  All far more conventional than his later work, being blues-based R&B.
