albert 8th Feb 2024		Review Probably the most perfectly realised Captain Beefheart LP, and the one that is the most accessible. Definitely the starting point that I recommend for anyone interested in discovering the great man. The LP pretty much covers his wide range of styles incorporating elements of blues, rock, ballad, and of course his signature Beefheartian style. Every track is a winner and the LP includes the fabulous Big-Eyed Beans From Venus which is just about everyone's favourite song, and the difficult Golden Birdies which will help you decide if you really do want to venture onto Trout Mask Replica. 2 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?



albert 5th Nov 2015		The plastic outer wallet on the original UK version is very fragile, the edge welding is barely existent and I suppose most copies will by now have probably lost the strip that the flap tucks into. It is made out of brittle plastic, probably not PVC. The original labels have a different layout. The American version of Clear Spot has a PVC cover, the edge welding on that version is much more substantial, but being PVC I would guess that it will have fogged the vinyl record inside.



Quad5point1 SUBS 2nd Mar 2014		Added Sleeve & Label Scans. Original sleeve is a Plastic wallet with flap and Clear Spot embossed onto flap. There is a card insert representing a sleeve, That is what I have uploaded
