A simple enough request, I'd have thought.
Also, a tin teardrop.

but "lick" implies tongue only, does it not?

CAPTAIN: I wrote 'Lick My Decals Off, Baby', and I'm having a little trouble getting back on a label, because they know I believe in it. But we're in negotiation with several companies Epic, Capitol..."

Captain Beefheart is my favorite performer/band of all time. I've never been able to find a reasonably priced copy of Lick My Decals Off, so I've never actually heard it. If this is true (I'm preparing to be disappointed, but if it is real, I'll go crazy) then this is going to be the best day of the year.
I'll also pick up the other remasters of course, although to my ears, the originals don't sound that bad at all. At least not in the way that Prince or the Smiths sound bad on CD.

If these are remastered as well as the rest of the stuff on The Dust Blows Forward they'll be a revelation.

Heh heh...shades of me paying $40 for an ebay video of "Koyaanisqatsi", only to see it re-released on DVD (and retailing for ten bucks!) less than a year later...

"Heh heh...shades of me paying $40...."
A mere $40? A mere bagatelle, a drop in the ocean. Iirc it cost me nearly $20 in P&P [sobs].

Of course my expectations weren't particularly high - The Captain does seem to have been the subject / source of more than his fair share of pointless compliations and dodgy merchandise in recent months and Chrome Dreams previous contribution (a dodgy-sounding CD of an old interview) certainly didn't lead me to expect much - but just for a change this really is worth acquiring for all good little Beefheart obsessives.

I've also been hearing very good things about this:

Suffice it to say however that Ozit's latest contribution "The Captain's Last Live Concert Plus" is inevitably of the same piss-poor quality as most of the other Beefheart material they've released, and is probably best avoided.

Instrumental-only tracks from the sessions, sans the Beef. Magic Band indeed.

Very nice. I once learned to play Flavor Bud Living, but One Red Rose.. is a whole other level.

so it looks like this was finally released on CD... in 2015

it appears I took this thread to heart and sold my CD version in January 2007 for $34.77
