Here's a snapshot of another old Captain Beefheart photograph from Miss Pamela's collection. The original was taken by Pamela des Barres herself in 1965.

Pamela was unsure of the name of the other band member pictured here but the esteemed authorities at The Fire Party write that this is almost certainly drummer Vic Mortensen who played with The Magic Band in that year. Vic may also have been the (uncredited) writer of Call On Me.

Pamela is offering prints of this photograph from a limited edition she's now producing for sale at eBay.
