This is a nicely remastered reissue of the very first album by Captain Beefheart, which was originally released on Buddha in 1967. Also included are 7 bonus tracks from the unreleased second album from the Mirror Man sessions that were later re-recorded and used on Strictly Personal.
"With [Ry} Cooder supervising the music, the sessions proceeded more or less smoothly...Overall the music is still blues-based and almost commercial, but several of the cuts point to future directions, especially the hypnotic use of slide guitars, the frequent tempo and key changes, and the exotic rhythms, most notably on 'Abba Zabba'. Safe As Milk remains one of the great, if sadly underrated, albums of the late sixties. the musicanship if of the highest quality and it's a record brimful of imagination."-John Platt.
