Captain Beefheart’s<\/strong> debut album, originally released in 1967, is the most accessible and pop-inflected from his entire catalogue.

A nice fact is that not only did a 20-year old Ry Cooder play bass & guitar on “Abba Zaba” and “Grown So Ugly”, he also arranged the latter as well as “Sure ‘Nuff ‘N Yes I Do”. Also, Cooder’s role in the recording process was ‘to translate the Captain<\/strong>‘s wilder notions to the rest of the band and generally acts as musical director’. With him as a supervisor, the sessions proceeded more or less smoothly and \u00a0“Safe As Milk<\/strong>“<\/em> was recorded within a month.<\/p>\n

Fun fact; the album appears in the 2000 film High Fidelity as an album that the character Barry, played by Jack Black, continually refuses to sell to a customer, whom he deems unsuitable to own it.<\/p>\n

The 7 bonus tracks are taken from the sessions for the unreleased ‘Brown Wrapper’ follow-up album. These tracks had been recorded around November 1967, two months after the release of \u00a0“Safe As Milk<\/strong>“<\/em>‘s and were from the same sessions that yielded the songs on Mirror Man Sessions<\/em><\/p>\n
