Song list: Side 1: Suction Prints Golden Birdies Black Snake Blues I’m A King Bee Jimmy Bill’s In Town Side 2 Alice In Blunderland Abba Zaba Big Eyed Beans From Venus I’m Gonna Booglarize You Baby Recorded live at The Troubadour, Los Angeles on 5th(?) January 1973 Radar Station Overview A classic boot with a basic white cover and paper insert. A great photo of Don on the front cover (from 1972?) but for some reason the song titles and names of the band are from the Knebworth Festival in 1975. Curious… Reasonably good stereo recording on colored (red splatter) vinyl. This disc is of particular interest becauseRead More →

Another beautifully designed and packaged release which must have been very limited as very few copies show up. The sound is not as clean as the majority of other recordings that have been released on vinyl. Side one features a number of tracks which may come from a 1978 show butRead More →

Song list: Tupelo Somebody In My Home Old Folks Boogie Evil Radar Station Overview A 4 track EP of songs recorded at the Avalon Ballroom in 1966 (the exact date is unknown) for the radio station KSAN pressed on blue vinyl with luxury wrap round sleeve. Recording is very good stereo with Beefheart introducing “Evil” cut saying “We got a request for a Howlin’ Wolf number”. A great cartoon label too although the group named is ‘The Soots’ – a pre-Magic Band collaboration between the young Zappa and Vliet. All these tunes are now legitimately available on Grow Fins (Rarities 1965-1982) A fifth ‘lost’ Avalon track known as ‘BluesRead More →

This European bootleg looks to be one of those ‘grey’ releases – is it legit or not? It was widely available for a time. There is an official looking stamp on the back cover which is Italian in origin and could explain the confusion over legitimacy. As it says on the cover this is taken from a radio broadcastRead More →
