Captain Beefheart BBC "Top Gear" with John Peel January/May 1968
Another find from the old Boot Box. The Beefheart Boot "Out Here, Over There" is well documented online and contains two complete Peel Sessions and 7 additional tracks which have been left off this torrent as they have been released on the "Grow Fins" box. The Peel Sessions have, according to my research, never been included in an official release; the original tapes were taped over by the BBC long ago. Regarding the extra tracks, 2 are from Cannes 1968, four are from Kidderminster 1968, and one is listed (on the back cover of the CD) as being from Amougies 1969--this incipient version of "Sun Zoom Spark" is subject to debate as to its origins and source--I'm leaving it off the torrent for the sake of concision and cohesion. Here are links for those that like to get down with it, information-wise:
Sound varies, especially on tracks 4 & 5 which seem to have been compiled from alternate sources. Overall I'd give it a B+, very listenable, especially for the devoted fan--as which of us are not?
These files have been tested with Trader's Little Helper and confirmed as lossless.
