Blowing all the incomplete, shoddily thrown together and unnecessary compilations out of the water, this is the definitive Beefheart retrospective, and even contains a few rare treats for those of us who already have all the records, namely “Little Scratch” from the Clear Spot sessions, “Light Reflected Off The Oceands Of The Moon” from the ep of the same name, and “Hard Workin’ Man” from the Blue Collar soundtrack. The notes accompanying the set are exceptional, written by Barry Alfonso they provide a concise overview of Don’s life and career. The notes on the songs included in the collection are also extremely good, providing information about the recording sessions, personnel involved and release dates. The compilation spans the Magic Band’s whole career and would be a splendid place for the curious to venture forth.
