Grow Fins is an excellent compilation. Very expensive, it’s been out for a while. Avoid “Dust Sucker”, it is a scam and not the actual BatChain cd. Check out beefheart.com about the Ozit group and about the boots like Dust Sucker who suffers certain fidelity issues.
new Beef doc as well: LINK.
As he said…
Grow Fins has been available as five cd set for some time. It has some interseting bits (including some video) but is definately a fetishist collector set only – very expensive. I haven’t even thought about it for about as long as it’s been since my first listen to it. Interesting booklet also included.
Dust Sucker is a ripp-off…
Off topic — my girl friend said she saw 200 Motels on TV at around 4:00 4-27, on a network called “Flix” or maybe “Flicks”
Anyone know anything about this?
I couldn’t believe she actually watched it and thought Mark Volman and Howard Kaylan were funny — I’ve always thought that 200 Motels and Uncle Meat were more of an endurance test than entertainment, but I haven’t seen it in about 15 years.
