Capsule review: Captain beefheart - Bat chain puller (1976, 2012 released)


With five tracks re-recorded for Shiny Beast, three for Doc at the Radar Station and two for Ice Cream for Crow, this doesn't have the impact it would have if released as intended. More like a nice and bluesy rehearsal for the real thing. The manic energy of the re-recordings (and their respective albums) is noticeably toned down. But that just means it has its own mood. Good to have it out in the public domain, or at least upon payment of a hefty contribution to the Zappa estate.
