Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band - Lick My Decals Off, Baby 180 gram vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed)

I've never understood what the problem is with the availability of this album; it was issued legitimately on CD and was available for a few years and has been out of print and quite rare for at least a decade. But for some reason, there is a legit lp version and here it is, on high quality, heavy vinyl. Anyway, I shouldn't have to say much about this one, should I? After Trout Mask, this is Don and band's stunning achievement and it's very similar and also utterly different. Unlike TMR, no one ever listened to this and said, "They can't play." It's not as completely alien as TMR and it's recognizable even by the dopes of the world (and there are plenty) that it's the work of highly skilled musicians who know how to play together as a tight band. Certainly lots did say, "What the fuck is this supposed to be? Music?" but you know, as I always say, I never feel like I did my job until someone walks out of a show or tells me how much they hated a particular release I did. A tremendous musical achievement and personally highly recommended.
