(Guitars, tuned for slide, used by Harkleroad & Cotton were a Telecaster & Gibson respectively. Track 4 'Flesh Horn' is a Vliet affectation for 'hands cupped to mouth'. French gets a credit on this issue, unlike the vinyl)

(In regard to "Special electronic modifications on Captain Beefheart's band equipment..." - For the 'field recordings' at the The Magic Band House; Kunc used a Shure eight-channel mixer remounted in a briefcase. The outputs of the briefcase mixer fed a Uher portable tape recorder. This tape machine was also used direct by the band to capture episodes. "The Blimp" was 'phoned in to FZ's studio console at The Log Cabin - it also contains The Mothers, performing the drum-passage to "Charles Ives" [aka "Didja Get Any Onya?" The Mothers Of Invention* - Weasels Ripped My Flesh] which was resident on the console.)

My copy has a defect: It's missing tracks 20 through 28 on the CD though all the packaging suggests it contains the complete album.
