although trout mask replica is one of my alltime favorites I strongly recommend doc at the radar station.......his last recording for virgin records.I have the original on vinyl (*)-(*)
@nge1301 Well,if you go for "Trout",you might find his '71-'72 offerings "Clear Spot" and "The Spotlight Kid",too rockist. I find them his best stuff.
@nge1301 Might well be,but a bit of salt would be handy,while reading these tall tales.
One has to expect the unexpected though,when putting one's self under the Captain's guidance.That bunch deserved each other anywayz."Trout" is still fucking overrated anywayz.Give me his more easier on the ears SP☼T years any day.
@andaloudog Sorry, I just "got that story" from one of the "33 1/3" books, the one by Kevin Courrier, about Trout Mask Replica. I'll try to prepare a bibli-effin-ography for you when I get a couple more seconds to rub together. Perhaps you could get in touch with Mr. Courrier and set him straight.
"While appearing humorous and kind-hearted in public, by all accounts Van Vliet was a severe taskmaster who abused his musicians verbally and sometimes physically. The band were reportedly paid little or nothing. "
In his 2010 memoir "Beefheart: Through The Eyes of Magic", John French recounted being "screamed at, beaten up, drugged, ridiculed, humiliated, arrested, starved, stolen from, and thrown down a half-flight of stairs by his employer"

@jules74386 The guitar sound on ...Radar Station is so badass. Listen to the Minutemen, they sound like that album a lot.
