Limited white colored vinyl LP pressing. Captain Beefheart's 1967 debut album Safe As Milk introduced the world to a one-of-a-kind visionary whose unique output had no precedent in contemporary music. Beefheart, aka Don Van Vliet, filtered the raw influence of the blues and R&B through his own singular musical sensibility and left-field lyrical wordplay, and surrounded himself with some of the most talented and inventive young musicians around. The result was an album that, even in the heady year in which it was released, sounded like nothing else, and the stage for one of rock's most iconoclastic and idiosyncratic careers. This landmark album now sounds the way it was meant to sound, thanks to the restoration of Perry's rare original-and, to most fans, superior-mono mix, which was later altered by Beefheart's label without the artist's involvement. Both the LP and CD version of this definitive edition feature authoritative new liner notes by Rolling Stone editor and longtime Beefheart enthusiast David Fricke. Sure 'Nuff 'N Yes I Do 2:11, Zig Zag Wanderer 2:33, Call on Me 2:33, Dropout Boogie 2:23, I'm Glad 3:22, Electricity 3:02, Yellow Brick Road 2:28, ABBA Zaba 2:40, Plastic Factory 3:03, Where There's Woman 2:11, Grown So Ugly 2:25, Autumn's Child 3:55
