Notes

Released in digipak. Includes a 32-page booklet

This is the official release of the shelved 'Bat Chain Puller' project, resulting from the closure of operations between FZ & Herb Cohen. Beefheart became somewhat a victim of the wrangles which ensued, resulting in the work going to storage and him having to freshly record material which became Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller).

Tracks 1 - 12, 14 Recorded at Paramount Studios, 16,17 & 18 March 1976,
Track 13 Recorded at Paramount Studios, 31 March 1976
"Candle Mambo" mixed at UMRK, 1995
Vaultmeister & Transfer of Original 6 April 1976 1/4" Stereo Master Tapes

It's very tough deciding whether I prefer this to the revised "Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller)" album released in 1978. On the one hand, that album introduces Tropical Hot Dog Night, which is one of Beefheart's best songs. On the other hand, some aspects of the production were disappointing: the high amount of tape hiss and thinness/lack of bass which John French himself commented on in his biography.This album has better production, and what I consider to be the definitive versions of Bat Chain Puller and Brickbats. Some of the songs (namely Flavor Bud Living and Harry Irene) sound sluggish. At any rate, I'm happy the Zappa family released the original Bat Chain Puller, even if the artwork is unacceptably plain.
