Review by Steve Huey
This two-fer compiles two Beefheart albums originally released in 1972. The Spotlight Kid was a stripped-down, slide-guitar-filled move toward Beefheart's beloved Delta blues, dark in outlook and more traditional in approach, although it was still distinctly Beefheart's take on the blues. Clear Spot was more typical of Beefheart's earlier work with the Magic Band, although it too was musically simpler, as well as thematically brighter.
Tracklist:
1. I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby
2. White Jam
3. Blabber'n Smoke
4. When It Blows Its Stacks
5. Alice In Blunderland
6. The Spotlight Kid
7. Click Clack
8. Grow Fins
9. There Ain't No Santa Claus On The...
10. Glider
11. Low Yo Yo Stuff
12. Nowadays A Woman's Gotta Hit A Man
13. Too Much Time
14. Circumstances
15. My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains
16. Sun Zoom Spark
17. Clear Spot
18. Crazy Little Thing
19. Long Neck Bottles
20. Her Eyes Are A Blue Million Miles
21. Big Eyed Beans From Venus
22. Golden Birdies
enjoy and share :)
