Captain Beefheart / Sun Zoom Spark :1970 to 1972 box set

Sun Zoom Spark 1970 to 1972, a new four-CD Captain Beefheart box set will be released next month.

The collection brings together Lick My Decals Off, Baby from 1970 and The Spotlight Kid  and Clear Spot from 1972. Everything has been newly remastered for the first time.

What is perhaps of most interest is a fourth bonus disc that features  plenty of outtakes; early mixes, alternates, instrumental versions – all previously unreleased. Even better, there is a choice of CD box or vinyl set.

Sun Zoom Spark 1970 to 1972 is released on 10 November 2014
