Captain Beefheart & Magic Band
The Mirror Man Sessions
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2020 Repress Of The 2011 180gm Audiophile Reissue From Music On Vinyl. "The Mirror Man Sessions Features The Complete Remastered Contents Of Mirror Man, Albeit In A Resequenced Running Order, And Fills Out The Rest Of The Album With A Number Of Bonus Tracks Taken From Additional Recordings, Both Finished And Unfinished, Made Around The Same Time For What Would Have Been A Double Album Titled It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper. As A Listening Experience, The Package Will Appeal More To Those Who Value The Instrumental Beefheart; The Mirror Man Album Is, Of Course, Essentially A 50-Plus-Minute Jam Session, Containing As It Does Only Four Songs, And The Bonus Tracks -- Many Of Which Appeared On The One Way Label's Reissue Of Safe As Milk -- Mostly Consist Of Jams And Instrumentals Which Push The Boundaries Of Conventional Blues-rock, With A Beefheart Vocal Tossed In Here And There. Some May Miss Beefheart's Surreal Poetry, Gruff Vocals, And/Or Free Jazz Influence, While Others May Find It Fascinating To Hear The Magic Band Simply Letting Go And Cutting Loose." AMG - Steve Huey.
