Track appears in new box set\u2026<\/p>\n
A new box set showcasing recordings Captain Beefheart made in the early Seventies is due for release.<\/p>\n
After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Sun Zoom Spark: 1970 To 1972 features newly remastered versions of three albums that Beefheart and the Magic Band released during that period \u2013 Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot \u2013 as well as an extra disc of alternate versions.<\/p>\n
Scroll down to hear a previously unreleased take of the track, \u201cLittle Scratch\u201c, which appears on the fourth disc of outtakes.<\/p>\n
Long-time Magic Band guitarist Moris Tepper, first met Beefheart [aka Don Van Vliet] at the Troubadour in Los Angeles during the Clear Spot tour. He stayed in the band until 1982. Speaking to Uncut, Tepper reveals that aside from the alternative versions that appear on Sun Zoom Spark, there is also a trove of unreleased Beefheart material.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can name a dozen songs right now that I wanted to record with him but which never got recorded,\u201d says Tepper. \u201cThey exist maybe more as poems than as songs. He had music for a song called \u2018Your Love Brought Me To Life\u2019, I think it was published in a book in Germany. We had worked on a song called \u2018Child Ecologist\u2018 which was another symphony. He\u2019d done something before I ever met him called \u2018Big Sur Suite\u2019 which was an incredibly beautiful piece of music, this huge, thematic, movie kind of theme and gorgeous words. He probably had more unrecorded, undocumented works than recorded works. He\u2019s an artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
