Description
NB. This is one of the best quality Live LPs available from THE MAGIC BAND!!! I must have collected all known Studio & Live Albums over the years, plus probably a similar amount from Zappa & The Mothers (who as most people know recorded almost all of his shows from the late '60s onwards with his Mobile Recording Studio..) Beefheart never had that luxury but on the last Tour in 1980/81 many shows were Soundboard Recordings I don't think I've heard BETTER SOUND on any other Live Vinyl LP!!! It's recorded from the LA.s "Country Club" on January 29, 1981 two days before the last EVER live concert and by this time The Magic Band were as tight as on any of their LPs. This De-Luxe 2 LP Set is long DELETED & much sought after and has some really fine versions of some of my favorite Beefheart tunes. The last two tracks are two hard to find tracks, added as a bonus.

Review from Radar Station - Magic Band Web-Site
Recorded live at The Country Club, Reseda, California on 29th January, 1981 (apart from the last two tunes which are rare singles).
An excellent quality recording. There was talk about this show having been filmed!!
This is a US Original Live LP with a Deluxe Colour Cover featuring a Clear Spot period 'top hat' photo and Van Vliet drawing on the front, a late 70s promo shot of Don on the back, and has blue/white labels.
198? US Double Vinyl on 'God's Golfball Records' DON-12981
PS. I post all LPs inland by RECORDED DELIVERY within UK (w Insurance To Value inc in postage) and OVERSEAS by INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR... (includes INSURANCE ) If it is to a Regular Buyer who wishes to take that responsibility on THEMSELVES, then I'm fine about Normal Air Mail but due to problems in ITALY & FRANCE be prepared to pay the £3.80 for I.S.FOR. (inc.s *INSURANCE inc to VALUE!)
