[LAU] The Captain has left the building.

[Niels Mayer]

FYI, I highly recommend this... gloriously uncompressed "bootleg" of
bat chain puller (a completely different session/mix than the released
album). soothing analog tape hiss and percussion that  actually sounds
like it's supposed to [[insert rant about the psychologically and
neurologically fraudulent concept of "perceptual masking" here]].

QUALITY:
A+ Stereo Studio Recording

NOTES:
This album was recorded in early 1976 but never released. This
particular dub was made from an ANA(1) copy given to a record company
employee by Beefheart himself. This same tape has been bootlegged on
CDR with excessive noise reduction, but this fresh new transfer is
completely free of NR. Don't be fooled by the European bootleg "Dust
Sucker" which comes from a very poor quality tape, and not the
"Captain's original tapes" as the liner notes claim. This copy is the
real deal!

LINEAGE:
ANA(2) -> CDR -> WAV -> FLAC

TRANSFERED AND MASTERED BY JWB.
DO NOT ENCODE TO MP3 OR SELL!
