RELEASE DATE

Exact repro on 180 gram vinyl. "Originally, Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band's second album was intended to be a double-album set called
It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper
. Although 1968's
Strictly Personal
has the same artwork that was mooted for the double album, it's a single disc. As part of the same post-
Trout Mask Replica
closet-cleaning that led to Buddah (the parent company of Blue Thumb Records, which released
Strictly Personal
) reissuing
Safe As Milk
as
Dropout Boogie
in the U.K. in 1970, the label released
Mirror Man
, the second disc that was intended for the
Plain Brown Wrapper
release. Recorded in November 1967 (an odd misprint on the sleeve claims it was recorded in 1965, when the band barely existed), the four lengthy tracks on
Mirror Man
are even more simplistic and primal than those on
Strictly Personal
. The key tracks are 'Tarotplane Blues,' a free-form jam in which Beefheart jumbles together the lyrics of at least half a dozen blues standards into a stream-of-consciousness ramble (adding musette and harmonica for good measure) as the Magic Band vamps on a slide guitar-based, two-chord groove for over 19 minutes, and the similarly expansive 'Mirror Man,' one of the key tracks of Beefheart's entire career." --All Music Guide
