Album / Classic Captain Beefheart's Bat Chain Puller Finally Gets an Official Release Date
Posted by Dave Segal on Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 1:46 PM
Via The NJ Undergropund:
The Frank Zappa-produced Bat Chain Puller, the 1976 album by Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet, 1941-2010) and the Magic Band that later morphed into 1978's semi-rerecorded Shiny Beast (Bat Chain Puller), will finally be released Jan. 15 by Barfko-Swill, the imprint of the Zappa Family Trust.
Bat Chain Puller's original 12 tracks, which have circulated unofficially for many years, will be accompanied by three bonus songs. I love Shiny Beast and think it's one of Beefheart's best LPs, but as a total Van Vliet fanboy, it will be great to experience the original versions and the extras as they were meant to be heard.
