Captain Beefheart & Magic Band
Lick My Decals Off, Baby
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1970 US original Santa Maria pressing on the Straight label. Nice VG+ copy with seam rubbing & ring wear. Includes original Straight company inner sleeve & the black and white 2-page fold-out insert containing lyrics & liner notes. "Produced by Captain Beefheart himself, Lick My Decals Off, Baby was a further refining and exploration of the musical ideas posited on Trout Mask Replica. As such, the imaginative fervor of Trout Mask is toned down somewhat, but in its place is an increased self-assurance; the tone of Decals is also a bit darker, examining environmental issues in some songs rather than simply concentrating on surreal wordplay. Whatever the differences, the jagged, complex rhythms and guitar interplay continue to amaze. Those wanting to dig deeper after the essential Trout Mask Replica are advised to begin doing so here." AMG - Steve Huey.
