captain beefheart & the magic band

the lives and times of captain beefheart  -  somebody in my home

???? lp-bootleg   cb 63-80

from "Rollin Red's Big Bad But Beautiful Book of Beefheart Bootlegs - Volume #2" (Apocalypse) / 1995 :
"198? single bootleg The Lives And Times Of Captain Beefheart on CB 63-80 (obviously referring to the dates of the recordings featured therein!) is the predecessor to its distant cousi "Another Chapter In The Lives & Times Of Captain Beefheart". Its glossy cover is taken from the 2nd edition of the mid-1970s book of the same title (by far more collectable I'd guess than the LP!). The deluxe sleeve & label design gives it the desired impression of an official release! which was advertised quite openly in the past from mail order companies S/S for as little as £7.99!! Although if you really want a copy... be prepared to part with up to £30.00!!
Side 1 starts with one of the earliest Zappa / Beefheart collaborations as The Soots - Metal Man Has Lost His Wings from the 1963 Studio Z - sessions! Its source was almost certainly the 1975 KWST radio broadcast which apart from plugging Bongo Fury's release in the USA let Frank play some live and unreleased studio recordings (including pre-Freak Out! material), a studio jam session whilst Don related The Story Of Electricity, and a supposed studio O/T (?) from the '69 Trout Mask sessions - Neon Meate Dream... (sounds like the LP cut to me??) This was all neatly packaged and available with more from the broadcast on a vinyl bootleg called Confidential, in less than a year! Also on side 1 is Avalon Ballroom recording of The Magic Band performing Evil / Somebody In My Home / Tuplelo Mississippi and the wonderful Old Folk's Boogie. Side 2 begins strangely with the 1974 un-Magic Band live instrumental followed by edited highlights of Paradiso 1980."
