Product Description

Amazon.com essential recording

In 1972 it probably seemed like the year belonged to a blues-tinged wall-of-sound rock band--maybe Deep Purple, who recorded Made in Japan that year--but from an aesthetic vantage, the blues-rock mantle has to go Captain Beefheart. In 1972 producer Ted Templeman took the controls for a pair of stunning Beefheart diamonds (in the rough of course), The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot, both collected here in full on one CD. Beefheart's voice sounds rightly inimitable, growly and gruff and lyrically cryptic. For its part, the Magic Band is in top form as well, integrating marimba and an assortment of percussion into the slide guitar forestry. There's a distinct and good reason that the celebrated Beefheart box set of rarities is called Grow Fins: the tune, as it appears on this collection, is a classic terrain-defying testament of love as only Don Van Vliet (Beefheart) could provide, a surreal and funny little tune caught in a skein of rough-hewn music that's stood the test of time splendidly. --Andrew Bartlett

From Amazon.co.uk

These two albums, which appear on one CD in reverse chronological order, capture Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart consolidating his position here as the greatest surrealist white bluesman of the 20th century. The Spotlight Kid is relatively subdued and rambling by Beefheart's standards, with his Magic Band never quite lifting off. That said, "White Jam" is poignant in a Mad Hatter sort of way, while "I'm Gonna Booglarise You Baby" and "Click Clack" more than pass muster. The earlier Clear Spot, however, may well be Beefheart's finest album. Stax horns jostle with Zoot Horn Rollo's zig-zagging slide guitar, with producer Ted Templeman keeping all the deranged lateral musical thinking of "Nowadays A Woman's Gotta Hit A Man" and "Sun Zoom Spark" tightly ravelled up for maximum impact. Moods range from the bizarrely soulful "Too Much Time" to the spacebound bottleneck frenzy of "Big Eyed Beans From Venus". --David Stubbs

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr.Johnのようなかっこいいリズム, 2004/9/12
Shiny Beast、Mirror Man、Safe as Milk、Troutmask Repricaと聴きましたが、最も聴いた回数が多いのがこの2 in 1作品です。
キャプテンを聴いてみようか、という人は、まずは1,6,12,17,18を聴いてもらいたいです。
ベストもトラウトもシャイニーもいいけれど、spotlight kid/clear spotもよろしくね。

Dr.Johnのガンボ、イアンデューリーのDo it yourself、ザッパのいたち野郎のように、楽しいレコードです。

ジャケのキャプテン、何気に発光してて素敵です。

4.0 out of 5 stars ビーフハートのバラード, 2009/2/12
このアルバムを聴く人は、もうすでにビーフハートにはまっている人だろうと思うので
余計な事を言っても仕方ないような感じはあります。
ただ「Her Eyes〜」のようなビーフハートのバラード？調のような曲が聴けるのが
良いと思います。他にも「Alice In〜」をはじめポップな曲が並びます。
ビーフハートの、単なるキレてる天才っぽさじゃなく、豊かな面が感じとれます。
他のアルバムのような疲れる感じはなく、確かに楽しいアルバムです。
