Beefheart Box Pushed Back To June
The highly anticipated five-disc box set from blues-rock experimentalist
Captain Beefheart has been pushed back to June 22 because of
production delays with the packaging, according to a spokesperson at the
publicity firm Autotonic. Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band Grow Fins,
Rarities 1965-82 will include a 120-page hardcover book, as well as
enhanced-CD video footage shot between 1968 and 1973. The set also will
feature early, instrumental takes of songs that eventually were recorded
for Trout Mask Replica (1970), generally acknowledged to be
Beefheart's masterpiece.
