Description
Captain Beefheart & Magic Band ORIG OZ LP NM 80 Virgin Doc at the radar station
Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1980 on Virgin Records.
Generally acclaimed as the strongest album of his comeback, and by some as his best since Trout Mask Replica, Doc at the Radar Station had a tough, lean sound owing partly to the virtuosic new version of the Magic Band (featuring future Pixies sideman Eric Drew Feldman, New York downtown-scene guitarist Gary Lucas, and a returning John "Drumbo" French, among others) and partly to the clear, stripped-down production, which augmented the Captain's basic dual-guitar interplay and jumpy rhythms with extra percussion instruments and touches of Shiny Beast's synths and trombones.
Tracks : Hot head/ Ashtray heart/ A carrot is as close as a rabbit gets to a diamond/ Run paint run run/ Sue Egypt/ Brickbats/ Dirty blue gene/ Best batch yet/ Telephone/ Flavor bud living/ Sheriff of Hong Kong/ Making love to a vampire with a monkey on my knee.
