    My all time favorite Captain Beefheart record. EVERY song is an absolute masterpiece.

      Very impressed with the sound of my promotional copy of this pressing. Listening on a decent cart over Cornwalls and its sound is overall as clean as any digital version I've heard. Happier with this than many of the supposed audiophile pressings in my collection.
