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.
