More than 30 years after these tracks were recorded,
the Mirror Man Sessions are finally being released in
the manner of Don van Vliet's original vision.
Captain Beefheart and his magic band were always
going through personnel changes, but the group
was especially in flux during 1967. Safe As Milk had
just been issued, and the band began recording a
follow-up, planned as a double-album. But the
following year saw the Captain and his band
dropped by their label (buddah). Some of the slated
songs (supplemented with electronic effects)
became 'strictly personal', released by blue thumb
records. Buddah followed suit, venturing into its
vaults, choosing four extended songs, and
packaging them as Mirror Man - obscuring facts by
billing the album as 'live recordings from 1965.' This
reissue adds five additional numbers, all of which
show the band at an evolutionary point midway
between the delta blues of its first recordings and
the layered rhythmic stew of Trout Mask Replica.
The Mirror Man Sessions is an essential document
of an important ensemble.
