Notes

Released in generic white card sleeve with orange photocopy inlay sheet placed inside plastic cover. Original 1st Pressing on 'red translucent' splatter-marbled vinyl. Blue WIZARDO Label A-side, Orange WIZARDO Label B-side. Dutch flavor to text: "Wizardo Rekords" "Made in Holland" (This used as country of issue - but questionable) The insert sheet is to American paper-size standard: 216 x 279mm. 

Inlay states "Live at The Roxy L.A. - July 16, 1975" - Musicians are incorrectly credited (without instruments) under the heading "The Magic Band" - "Abba Zaba" is incorrectly titled as "Abba Zabba" (A2 shown corrected) 

NB. It should be noted that the 'majority of information' on the Inlay is incorrect. The album was in fact recorded over 2 Dates -The 3rd + 5th January 1973 at The Troubadour, West Hollywood, Cal. (Not LA Roxy, 1975) Also the Band's line-up is incorrectly documented. 

The correct band line-up should read - 
; 
Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart) Vocals, Harmonica; Alex St Claire (Snouffer) Guitar, Slide Guitar; Bill Harkleroad (Zoot Horn Rollo) Lead Guitar, Slide Guitar; Mark Boston (Rockette Morton) Guitar, Bass Guitar; Roy Estrada (Audi Hon-Orejon) Bass Guitar; Art Tripp (Ed Marimba) Drums, Percussion; 

A well-known Vliet quote appears at the foot of cover; "There are only five great men in the world and three of them are hamburgers".

Barcode and Other Identifiers

Notes

Both Vinyl & Sleeve in 'EX' condition
[Correct T/List has been noted on front sleeve!]


Anyone who has not heard this LP [for all it's foibles] is certainly in for a treat!  It captures both the excitement and ferocity of the infamous "Zoot Horn Rollo" /"Rockette Morton" 1973 line-up at their finest - running thru'  tracks from both "The Spotlight Kid" and "Clear Spot" at 'break-neck' speed and altho' not listed on the cover, you have the opportunity to hear the Band play some rare live Blues classics which the band, rarely if ever performed live including   "I'm A King Bee" & "Jimmy Bills" in Town' played barely a handful of times only live.. 
I first picked up this LP in 1976 in Camden Market in London, along with "Condidential" (another WIZARDO original) ft both Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart and went back the following week to buy 2 more copies to keep SEALED. This was my introduction to the WIZARDO label and the sheer beauty of their Limited Edition copies, pressed on the most amazing TRANSLUSCENT vinyl. This copy I picked up some years ago.. My playing copy but well looked after!





The recording is quality mono.
