CAPTAIN BEEFHEART 

Sun Zoom Spark 1970-72

Brand New & Sealed Four 180gm Vinyl LP 2014

This new four-disc collection revisits the albums Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) recorded with the Magic Band in the early Seventies —Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot. It includes all three albums, which have been remastered for the first time, as well as a disc of unreleased material.

The fourth and final disc in SUN ZOOM SPARK includes 14 unreleased tracks and is a trove of alternate versions, rehearsals and outtakes from the sessions for The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot. The disc reveals just how much some songs evolved before being released. Among the highlights are a sung-version of “I Can’t Do This Unless I Can Do This/Seam Crooked Sam,” which became a spoken-word performance on Bat Chain Puller; a raucous, off-kilter version of “Dirty Blue Gene” that pointed the way to the final version on Doc at the Radar Station; and an instrumental rehearsal of “The Witch Doctor Life” that is nearly unrecognizable compared to the version heard on 1982’s Ice Cream For Crow.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Tracklisting:

IMPORTANT DELIVERY INFORMATION

Our items are usually dispatched within 1 working day of the date payment is cleared from the buyer (except in the case of a pre-order - see below).

Unfortunately, the UK ‘domestic’ delivery timescales calculated on the eBay listings, do not reflect the actual delivery timescales of our postal provider, the Royal Mail. From our experience, it can take around 5 working days for second class post, and often a lot more than this during busy periods, or if your order is placed on a Friday or a Weekend, or when there are public holidays during the delivery period. We do our best to keep short the element of the dispatch that is under our direct control. If you do want a quicker delivery, because the item is for a gift, or another reason, then we would encourage you to select those options during the check out stage on ebay (e.g. express delivery). These do come at an extra charge, but this would be our best advice, if you don’t want to be delayed by our postal provider, and to avoid disappointment in not receiving the item in time.

In the case of orders from non UK buyers, the delivery timescales are also affected by the domestic postal provider in your country and also the public holidays that occur in the delivery period in your country as well as in the UK. We do our best to keep short the element of the dispatch that is under our direct control.

PRE-ORDERS

In the case of Pre-Orders from UK customers, the item is dispatched, so that it will arrive with you on or just after the release date (provided that there is no change to the release date). Where the item listed is a Pre-Order, the release date is clearly stated in the title line on eBay, and also within the detailed description on eBay. In the case of a Pre-order, the delivery timescales and delivery dates calculated and shown on eBay, are not precise, and should be ignored. 

In the case of a Pre-Order from non UK customers, the item is dispatched in the same timescales as for UK customers, but it will take longer to get to you, due to the longer delivery timescales involved in overseas deliveries. 

If you have any questions regarding our services, please do ask us before you place your order.

Thank you for your understanding.
