Reviews
- My copy has seams on both labels which appear to be where the two colors meet. Is that a common flaw. It looks like the picture on this sub has the same issue

Don't forget to shop for Various Singles Vol.2.
A complete package comes with POSTTD tri color, and the 5,6,7,8s Ring of Fire.- Jack White pays homage to the influence that Captain Beefheart had upon his work with these three excellent covers on limited edition red & white vinyl.
"Party Of Special Things To Do" originally appeared on the critically-received DiMartino produced Beefheart album "Bluejeans & Moonbeams". White's arrangement proves the critics wrong. Vliet, above all, was a great songwriter and co-wrote this with Winged Eel Fingerling.
Doug Moon's guitar work on the original "China Pig", from the seminal "Trout Mask Replica", was lean, mean and bluesy. White's similar style does this track more than justice.
"Ashtray Heart" was given birth on Vliet's "Doc At The Radar Station". Tepper and French did some great slide-guitar work on it, with French stubbing out some interesting drum work in the layering. Jack and Meg, as a 'one-man-band', handle this track and the whole set brilliantly. This is a release that captures all the edginess and rawness that is prevalent in Beefheart's work. A must for collectors of The Don and the Stripes alike.
