1967 Us Red Label Stereo Original With Inner Sleeve. Strong Copy, With Cover Wear; Small Crease Mark, With Seam Wear And Corner Rubs. No Bumper Sticker. "Beefheart's First Proper Studio Album Is A Much More Accessible, Pop-inflected Brand Of Blues-rock Than The Efforts That Followed In The Late '60s -- Which Isn't To Say That It's Exactly Normal And Straightforward. Featuring Ry Cooder On Guitar, This Is Blues-rock Gone Slightly Askew, With Jagged, Fractured Rhythms, Soulful, Twisting Vocals From Van Vliet, And More Doo Wop, Soul, Straight Blues, And Folk-rock Influences Than He Would Employ On His More Avant-garde Outings. "Zig Zag Wanderer," "Call On Me," And "Yellow Brick Road" Are Some Of His Most Enduring And Riff-driven Songs, Although There's Plenty Of Weirdness On Tracks Like "Electricity" And "Abba Zaba."
