from "Rollin Red's Big Bad But Beautiful Book of Beefheart Bootlegs -
Volume #2" (Apocalypse) / 1995 :
"198? single bootleg It's Too Hard - It's Beefheart on Love Situation 10002 is
another beautifully designed vinyl package pressed possibly around 82/83 & I
would guess in a limited number (as I know only a handful of people who have a
copy!) I particularly like the b&w vliet-eque artwork on the front sleeve
that reminds me of the extremely rare A&M PS EP (which was withdrawn almost
as soon as it was released) Again a professional official looking lable gives it
the appearance of a stock copy.
To be frank, the sound isn't as clean as the majority of recordings that have
made their way onto vinyl, but certainly worth a listen! Bill Pircz assures me
that it was from a '78 show but I'd bet a pint of Brghton's China Pig that it's
80/81 (in fact the tracks are familiar, & if it wasn't for the deadline
being some 6 weeks late already, I'd dig out a tape or two and try & place
where it's culled from!)
Full track list is listed but I'd say the highlights are a sizzling Dirty Blue
Gene & unlisted Flavour Bud Living (from Mr.Gary Lucas.. I'd presume) Side 2
for some obscure reason is Frank Zappa's "The Talking Asshole" which
of course doesn't feature Don at all!!) This is followed once again by the
Avalon Ballroom cuts. So a worthy addition to keep them eyes & ears open
for!"
