- The Complete Beefheart Sessions:1968
Van Vliet and Ravenscroft
It’s not as many as you might imagine, with Beefheart and the Magic band completeing just two sessions from Peel, both in 1968, fully a year before before recording 1969′s legendary ‘Trout Mask Replica’, the album that took in every genre from jazz, poetry to minimal R&B and Beefhart’s distinctive voice.
Due to a me-based cockup, the tracks have been uploaded seperately, so you’ll need to download them one at a time. It’s worth it, honestly.

Mistakes are all mine and will no doubt be cleared up by those kind enough to leave comments.
