Description
CAT NO DB 501\2.RECORDED AT THE SHOWBOX,SEATTLE JANUARY 15TH 1981 ON DON VAN VLIET'S 40TH BIRTHDAY.THE BAND HAD BEEN DOING A EUROPEAN TOUR AND BY NOW THEY HAD FINALLY SETTLED IN AND GOT THEIR S..T TOGETHER. IT IS RECORDED IN HIGH RONDO-LETTE FIDELITY..AS IT SAYS ON THE BACK COVER.
THE SOUND QUALITY IS SUPERB..DESCRIBED AS EXCELLENT MONO ON THE COVER... AND AMONG BEEFHEART AFFICIONADO'S IS OFTEN QUOTED AS THE BEST OF THE BEEFHEART BOOTLEGS.A GREAT AND RELAXED LIVE GIG WITH A BRILLIANT VERSION OF HOT HEAD\ASHTRY HEART AND A SUPER FAST SAFE AS MILK.THE AUDIENCE SINGS DON A 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' SONG AND BEEFHEART COMMENTS ON THE 'URINE COLOURED LIGHTS AND HORRIBLE SMOKE SMELLS.
THIS IS THE FIRST PRESSING OF THE VINYL BUT SECOND PRESSING OF THE COVER.THE FIRST COVER WAS A COPY OF AN ANTON CORBIJIN PHOTO FROM THE MOJAVE DESERT SESSIONS ON A MUSTARD YELLOW BACKING.THIS .. AND UPGRADED IN MY OPINION.. VERSION IS A 4 COLOUR CARTOONY BOLD DRAWING OF THE SAME PICTURE.THE BACK COVER IS A SILHOUETTE OF THE DON WITH THE TRACK LISTINGS.I WILL LIST THESE IN A BIT.
