CAPTAIN BEEFHEART
TROUT MASK REPLICA
GATEFOLD COVER & LYRICS SHEET

Trout Mask Replica is the third album by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band, released in June 1969.
Produced by Beefheart's friend and former schoolmate Frank Zappa, it was originally released as a double album on Zappa's Straight Records label. Combining elements of blues, avant-garde, free jazz and other genres of American music, the album is regarded as an important work of experimental music and a major influence on genres such as alternative rock and post-punk.

Most of Trout Mask Replica was recorded in March 1969 at Whitney Studios in Los Angeles, California. The lineup of The Magic Band at this time consisted of Bill Harkleroad and Jeff Cotton on guitar, Mark Boston on bass guitar, Victor Hayden on bass clarinet, and John French on drums and percussion. Beefheart played several brass and woodwind instruments (including saxophone, musette, and hunting horn) and contributed most of the vocal parts, with Zappa and various members of the band providing occasional vocals and narration.
The well-rehearsed Magic Band recorded all instrumental tracks for Trout Mask Replica in a single six-hour recording session; Van Vliet's vocal and horn tracks were laid down over the next few days. Upon release in the US, Trout Mask Replica sold poorly and failed to chart. It was more successful in the UK, where it spent a week on the charts, at #21.

MINT-:
LP shines like new and looks unplayed.

EXCELLENT:
LPs look good with only minor imperfections,  sleeves may have caused minor blemishes, scuffs or blotches (from dust after cleaning) retains most (if not all) it’s original luster and still plays like new! 

COVERS look brand new with only minor issues.  Could have only a few of these problems.  Cut Corner,  Notch cut, Hole punch, Promo Stamp, slight spine peeling or tear and or shows visible signs to starting ring wear

 VG+:
LPs show telltale signs of being handled (used but not abused).  Record could or does have what looks like needle drags but plays thru most of it without distraction. Minor noise can be heard in and in between tracks but also not so distracting.  You can see some wear on the record and also has multiple blemishes, scuffs and or blotches, has lost most of it’s original luster, but plays fine.

COVERS have a cut corner, notch cut, Promo Stamp, spine peeling, spine tear, fading or snow spots. Ring wear is noticeable.

 VG -:
LPs play but noise is heard throughout due to wear.  It’s probably constant but not as loud as the music. Might have a needle drag (audible).  The vinyl has more prominent blemishes, scuffs and or blotches which are most likely audible and has lost most of it’s original luster.

COVERS have blotches, scuffs or prominent blemishes but are intact with minor seam tears

G:
LP still plays but it’s obvious that an upgrade to get another copy is in need.  Lots of wear and noise is as loud as the music but plays fine without skips.

COVERS have blotches, scuffs or prominent blemishes with one or more torn seams and it’s probably time to find a new copy.
