Track appears in new box set\u0085<\/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 \u0096 Lick My Decals Off, Baby, The Spotlight Kid and Clear Spot \u0096 as well as an extra disc of alternate versions.<\/p>\n
Scroll down to hear a previously unreleased take of the track, \u0093Little Scratch\u0093, 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
\u0093I can name a dozen songs right now that I wanted to record with him but which never got recorded,\u0094 says Tepper. \u0093They exist maybe more as poems than as songs. He had music for a song called \u0091Your Love Brought Me To Life\u0092, I think it was published in a book in Germany. We had worked on a song called \u0091Child Ecologist\u0091 which was another symphony. He\u0092d done something before I ever met him called \u0091Big Sur Suite\u0092 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\u0092s an artist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
