All tracks were recorded between Oct and Nov 1967 at TTG Studios, LA, California, USA.
Tracks 1 to 4 were released as the 1971 LP.
By this time the band had adopted the moniker 'Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band'. That LP (and re-releases like this CD) therefore uses the earlier moniker 'Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band'.
The remaining five tracks appeared previously on the 1992 compilation.
