Question for Capt. Beefheart fans more knowledgeable than I: after
getting to know and enjoy the Captain via *Doc at the Radar Station*
and *Trout Mask Replica*, I came upon an album of his called
*Unconditionally Guaranteed*.

*Oy*, what a dog! It sounded as if someone tried to get him to go
commercial--I still have it for some reason (perhaps completeness's
sake, perhaps masochism; after all, I still have my copy of the Memluks'
album). I can't believe the estimable Mr. van Vliet would do such a
thing save under duress. Can someone out there tell me what happened?
