Captain Beefheart
CLEAR SPOT
Rhino / Warner - 50th Anniversary re-issue on 2 LPs on CLEAR VINYL for Record Store Day / Black Friday 2022
It goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway) Clear Spot is one of Don’s best albums, in many ways due to the production by Ted Templeman and is a great introduction the band if you need to convert a non-believer. These comments are not about the original album but about this particular package released as part of the 2022 Record Store Day catalogue.
The album packaging is a good solid gatefold sleeve with the album title embossed on the front top centre. No clear plastic sleeve as per the original release though. However, as a nod to Don’s original concept both of the discs have been pressed on clear vinyl – and pretty good they look too. No additional information is included apart from the recording dates for the extra tracks on the second disc. Inside the gatefold are reproductions of photographs taken of the band in Amigo Studios during the recording of the album. These are great and are easier to see here than when they were included in the Sun Zoom Spark booklet.
This set features the original album recut from the original master tapes at Bernie Grundman Mastering, plus an additional LP of rare studio outtakes, alternate versions, and previously unreleased instrumental rough mixes from the Clear Spot sessions.
This Record Store Day release is limited to 4500 copies
