2006 digitally remastered reissue of this 1974 album. This album is unquestionably one of their most accessible albums and the perfect introduction to this period in Beefheart's career. Features extensive liner notes written by Beefheart expert Mike Barnes. Virgin. Review: Yes, five stars - I know, a lot of Beefheart purists aren't so fond this record, and that's understandable, but the thing is, you can't judge it by what it's not supposed to be. For a pop blues rock record, it's damn good. OK, so not everybody wants Beefheart to make such a record, but so he did, and very self-consciously so -- all you have to do is look at the cover and the title. The way I see it, it's like he popped into the pop room for a bit to see what he could do, had some fun, and popped out. It's a shame the radio / chart world didn't catch on, really. I love listening to this record, and that's really all that matters to me. It's like listening to Ramones, they didn't really get why their stuff wasn't on the radio either. Beefheart a la Ramone, all wrapped up in a factory-sealed package for your protection. You look at the cover and you want to say, OK, I get the joke, but here's the thing -- the songs and performances are genuinely good. It's DVV at his most commercial, sure, but if these songs were a side of him, then it's a side I like while riding down the highway. Don't sweat the backstory and just listen to what comes out of the speakers and I think you'll be pleased. I continue to be. Review: Lazy music is the best tune here - Harry made me do it. I know you all think the captain was this lovable cardboard cut-out thing-a-ma-jig but magic has got nuthin to do wit' it. Imagine playing Trout Mask and having to play host to these tiny devils-lawn ornaments, Stickin 'pitchforks n laffin' incoherently.Now think of magic as a bag of dope., or n 8 track tape. The euphemism is rhetoric . There is no magic only manna. ' Lose a star for being stuck in a groove wit' things attached. Lazy music is the best tune here. If I was a tourin' wit' d band in georgia wud they be tro'in' peaches on stage ? Let's end this physical thing. it wasn't until his sons rallyed up a backbone big enough to play the dirge. N boy, did they play ! Nuff sayyid back to Ramadan. Wallaikum Salam,my brothers. I see no reason why I shouldn't put my review of Lick My Deals Off , Baby. It is fitting that you should know the most magically executed album is unavailable (or just expensive) To my knowledge ,there is/was no CD release ever. I made one from the album.It's not for sale. here's the review... Lick My Decals Off , Baby. An impression. Pretty much a showdown. One step above Sgt. Peppered Masked . Super untrue intrinsic category played majestic with Mexican wheelwell. Could be the foist tribute to magic on vinyl. The three D aspic rung like tires on Jill St. John's underwear stain cheap stomp- a- billy. Coins in the fountain by magic on plastic jump into yur lap laptop mop. Accidental mental shadows lurk like yellow diamond dung. Quick print apes pages torn . Roy's horn. Terra cotta pottery with Aztec grins mock you scratch you cut you. Bupgoo. Gunslung with birds n mums and chrysalises .Christ it's a moe-down . Plant gardenias on your grave , son, nice to meet you. Mrs. Hooten's piper cub eats monsterettes. Soul bob comes up to grab you down. Here I come,ma. Indian paint rocks ,only alcohol bibs allowed. Frown wally Don's master bib. Ya want some ? Cute painted peonies mam,the needle glows, rock in the dust. Button my dog jumps over the lazy eye with mean-o fingerlicking pastel pajamas. Tell Dave ,his pizza's ready, hold the poly vinyl please. There is no quackin' hyah, just in Don's blues, manic and amazing..in words,not flesh. -Keith Nathan Albrecht

It's not my favorite by a long shot
I know this albums gets a lot of knocks from his loyal fans. Come on, relax, and take it for what it is. As close a melodic Captain Beefheart can be to 4/4 music. It's not my favorite by a long shot, (Trout Mask is), but it's still The Captain and I for one love it! He was, and is, the most overlooked musician that I'm aware of. What a shame. It's great to see that he made a ton of money on his paintings. He's actually deserved it! The best avante garde musician of all time. Better than rock, and better than jazz.

The Genius of Don Van Vliet. Quite a smooth album for Beefheart. Given the diverse nature of the compositions undertaken by the Magic Band normally, this one lacks a bit by comparison. Still definitely worth having in your collection if only for the track 'Lazy Music'

This is the day è una canzone struggente, emozionante degna di una grande artista qual'era il capitano , Da avere a prescindere da lla canzone summenzionata

Un Beefheart garanti "sans condition et sans modération". Un vrai beau disque dont l'écoute ne nécessite pas - cette fois - de pré-requis. Certains diront "commercial", ce qui n'est - finalement - pas un reproche si on y pense bien... à écouter fort, très fort !
