from "Rollin Red's Big Bad But Beautiful Book of Beefheart Bootlegs - Volume #2" (Apocalypse) / 1995 :
"1994 euro bootleg CD If You Got Ears on CBCD 313 was the 1st of the Beefheart CDs to appear with Made in the EEC Luxembourg printed on both disc and cover. It was also the 1st to attempt a compilation of live & unreleased material c/w the lesser known singles & collaborations such as Hard Working Man, Light Reflected, etc.
A bit of a miss-match of tracks but with outtakes & demos from Strictly Personal / Decals plus some demos recorded between 71 - 73 including the Brown Starr / Kiss Me Where I Can't aborted LPs. This CD paved the way for those that followed. Pretty shoddy packaging that was to get better with each release."
