The back states this is an EP. The band is credited as "CAPTAIN BEEFHEART and his MAGIC BAND", which is the truest written form and identity for the band in this period. Alexis Clair Snouffer, aka Alex St. Clair, was also the instigator & leader of the band in '66. Thus, there is some further confusion in the text below the band photo - which is cut from a review (relating to the later A&M release "Diddy Wah Diddy") in 'The Beat', a 'pop' news mag of the time - which says "Captain Beefheart is Alex St. Clair...". Furthermore, the band members interviewed are not entirely as in the photo;
Left to right: Vliet, Handley, Hepner, Moon & Snouffer Correct credits for the tracks can be found on the aforesaid "Grow Fins".
The vinyl is translucent blue, with blue print on white labels. The label drawing is of Beefheart under a Joshua tree playing a mouth harp, complete with shuttlecock hat and a crow perched on his boot - suggesting this release is at least post 1970 (TMR), or even post '82 (ICFC).
The band credited on the label, "The Soots", were of the given '60s period and relate to Vliet & Zappa, but have no bearing on these works - other than perhaps a sales gimmick. (The Soots can be found on Zappa works).

CONDITION: Near mint record, fold over cover is excellent (slight fading on the light blue construction paper after the decades).
All records are BLACK VINYL unless noted & inserts/gatefold covers/posters/custom inner sleeves will be noted in the description if they are included plus promo & cutout marks stated if they are there also. I don't believe in hiding stuff & try to note most everything that should matter to buyers. All 12" vinyl on ebay is automatically listed as 33 1/3 rpm & 7" vinyl as 45 rpm (to save time on listing all this stuff) if you need to confirm speed on a specific item please ask & I can go check. Different shipping speeds/ rates using USPS no problem at cost plus .50 cents for the mailer.
