Customer Reviews:
Claptons' blues.......2006-01-17
These recordings are essential for anyone's collection of Eric Clapton or British Blues.All titles were recorded before he reached total stardom with Cream. Some are with the Yardbirds, some with John Mayall, and some are small band sessions done between Eric being in groups.Just the 2 songs done with Mayall,"telephone blues" and "I'm your witchdoctor" are worth the price(bargain) of the disc. The screaming (almost) one note distorted solo in "witchdoctor" is amazing and the solo in "telephone" has to be one of the best he ever recorded. These were recorded during the time that the "Clapton is god" graffiti appeared in London and listening to the intensity of his playing helps you understand why.Awesome music.
WONDERFUL...........2005-10-18
I really enjoyed this album. The way it's put together.. the sound quality is not that wonderful but that can be overlooked because this is Eric Clapton after all. Maybe not his best, but it's certainly up there.
For completests - some good songs but poor sound quality.......2002-05-30
There are some very good tracks on here - but the sound quality of many is poor. I particularly like the Blues Breakers tracks, like Telephone Blues. The early Yardbirds tracks are interesting but some of the songs are so-so. They are interesting because they have some of that great heavy, distorted guitar sound which is generally associated with Eric Clapton's later Blues Breakers work. Sound quality is dubious to bad on several tracks (perhaps not surprisingly considering how long ago they were made)e.g. tribute to Elmore. The CD includes a couple of covers of Chuck Berry songs with a more rocking feel, as well as more traditional blues.
Before you buy this though, consider buying the following Eric Clapton blues albums first - they are much better:
Eric Clapton with John Mayall's BLuesbreakers,
From the Cradle,
Unplugged.
An album PACKED full of blues.......2000-06-26
3 great guitarists, Eric clapton, jimmy page and jeff beck team up to create a great blues album that includes 20 songs. any blues fan will love this record.

Recorded six months after the raucous Mirror Man sessions, Strictly Personal is marred only by odd phase-shifting effects and the insertion of backwards tapes allegedly added by Beefheart's manager to make him sound closer to the "acid rock" trend then prevailing. Still, Beefheart's playful nature comes shining through. His stream-of-consciousness leads him to the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields Forever" during "Beatle Bones 'n' Smokin' Stones." "Ah Feel Like Ahcid" is Beefheart's trademark over-the-top Howlin' Wolf blues set three steps ahead. Drummer John French, in particular, gives Beefheart's music its listener-challenging edge, jumpcutting as the rhythm becomes familiar. That he gets weirder and fully realized from here is a testament to Beefheart's lifelong obsession with uncovering something new underneath the same old rock. --Rob O'Connor

Old Favorite.......2007-06-10
I had this album on vinyl years ago. I had been searching for it for a long time hoping that it would be on CD. I really did not remember too much about it only that I liked it. I know it has been criticized by others as being overcommercialized by it's producer, and that might be true, but I still like and enjoy this record very much. It was good to hear after so many years. Ooh la light, Ooh la dark.
Beware.......2006-08-04
Unless you are a devout captain beefheart fan, I suggest not getting this album. But instead just get SAFE AS MILK and MIRROR MAN, they have all the songs this has but better versions. As an album compared to all other music it is amazing, but compared to the captains other out put it is only sub-par. I dont feel like the psycedelic phazing gets in the way, its just that all but one of these songs appears on Safe As Milk and Mirror Man and those versions are much better.
Can't help myself.......2006-04-18
I love this album like a brother; it's my most poignant momento of the late 60s. For me, it captures the essence of that time, with its mind-blown style and roman-fleuve character, where every track tells a story, albeit a confusing one. The first three tracks are particularly compelling, in which rambling vocals and ragged guitar trade off each other in a way that would make Jagger and Richards weep, if they paid attention. (Oh yeah, I'm a Stones fan too.) But only the Good Captain invokes that Philip K. Dick world in which everything, including your sanity, is up for grabs. Damn, it's good.
A great album with a bizarre history..........2005-10-02
The history of Captain Beefheart and His Magic band fluctuates like a hyperactive echocardiogram. The personal, pointed, dissonant, and impassioned music confounded most record labels (and probably many listeners). Producers probably pondered and whacked thier heads with the question "how can I sell this stuff?" Nonetheless, they seemed to think that this music had market potential (otherwise they wouldnt've bothered at all). This perspective probably lies behind the strange, enigmatic, and now legendary story of "Strictly Personal", the band's second full-length album.
Somewhere between 1967 and 1968 Beefheart and His Magic Band struck out to do a double album magnum opus. The non-commercial project became foiled in record company politics and some other general nonsense. Consequently, the band fell out with their previous label, Buddha Records, over this very project (dubbed "It Comes to You In a Plain Brown Wrapper"). Buddha apparently began to focus on popular and more "happy" (or "bubblegum") music. And subsequently the band found their way to Liberty Records and producer Bob Krasnow.
The band had already recorded quite a bit of material for the failed double-album project. It sat moldering in Buddha's vaults for years (The 1999 CD releases of "Safe As Milk" and "Mirror Man" contain nearly all of this material - released, paradoxically, by the "new" Buddha records). With little rehearsal the band cranked out "Strictly Personal" in the spring of 1968. Much of the material overlapped with the aborted Buddha sessions. Notably, very shortened versions of "Mirror Man" (now called "Son of Mirror Man - Mere Man") and "Kandy Korn". The only new addition was the rough grunting blues number "Ah Feel Like Ahcid". Pieces of the song exist throughout the album. And the final notes of "Strictly Personal" come from a reprise of this song. Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) expressed confusion at the suggestion that the song was about "Acid" (a popular pop culture reference at the time). But it contains some greatly evocative Beefheart lyrics (and has some affinities with the later "China Pig").
Krasnow mixed the album while the band toured in 1968 and he subsequently added a mileu of "psychedelic" effects to the songs. Examples of this pervade the album. Supposedly he wanted the Magic Band to cash in on the "far out" music of the time. Some stories say Krasnow did this without the band's consent. Others say Beefheart actually approved of the new mix until the music press delivered consistent negative reviews of the production. Either way, a lot of the nuances of the music became buried in the thick mix or frosted over with psuedo-psychedelia. Consequently, more than any other Beefheart album (excluding his "Tragic Band" recordings from the mid 1970s), this album sounds the least like Beefheart. The album's title then becomes pregnant with irony.
It speaks volumes of the material on "Strictly Personal" that it remains a classic. The songs and the performances manage to shine through the rather annoying production. Mike Barnes, Beefheart biographer, calls "Strictly Personal" the band's "acid-rock statement". This gives too much credit to the production. Without Krasnow's layering the album would have sounded more like "Trout Mask Replica" than "The Piper At The Gates of Dawn". The re-released Buddha recordings (sans psychedelia) reveal this.
Some of Beefheart's strongest songs remain obscurely buried here. "Safe As Milk", the anti-hippie "Trust Us", the Trout Mask presage "On Tomorrow", and the song that cost the band John Lennon's approval, "Beatle Bones 'N' Smoking Stones". This album shows a definite progression from "Safe As Milk" towards "Trout Mask Replica" (which turned out to be a vindicating double-album release). Some of the innovations require work and digging to expose. But they exist down deep in the psychedelic stratifications of sludge. The effort pays off in droves. Beefheart begins to really emerge here, albeit slowly and somewhat frustratingly due to the mix. Still, Beefheart fans should not miss this album that comes with a history as murky as its production.
Flawed But, Again, Kind of Brilliant.......2001-07-21
He tried a more "personal" take on the blues here, and moved the rhythms out towards the kind of jazz-influenced polyrhythmic wildness that his bands kept working with for the next 14 years.
The songs and the lyrics are "authentically strange" as John Peel remarked in a documentary. To me they're idiosynchratic and somewhat flawed. They're just not coherent enough for my liking, and the music's a bit uneven - it has great stuff in there, but alternates into more straight, ostensibly commercially viable sections that drag this down a bit.
The production, the mixes are bad.
The better part of this material is available on the "I May Be Hungry But I Sure Ain't Weird" collection, which is alternate takes of these tracks plus a few more things from this time frame, and "Mirror Man" which was cut by the same band (originally to be bundled with this album in a 2-LP set) and has far superior versions of "Mirror Man" and "Kandy Korn". "I May Be Hungry" has been placed, in two pieces, on the new issues of "Safe As Milk" and "Mirror Man".
So, if you buy the new "Safe As Milk" and "Mirror Man", you'll hear all this material in equivalent or better form, except the opening acoustic track (which is just a basic blues) and the words to "On Tomorrow".

Go Speed Gooooo.......2005-07-07
I love this re-mix of the original track that I have. The 3rd re-mix is the naughtiest and the funniest. A great cd to listen to while i go 90 miles down the highway (not, that, i, uh, have gone 90 miles down the highway or anything...). Definitely, one of my better purchases as of late.
Ah memories.......2005-06-18
Indeed this a very hard CD to find.I had the cassette maxi-single back in the day.I was very lucky to find it at a Camelot
music store here in New Orleans.Alpha Team also did a follow up single to this one called "This is Racer-X",which is even MORE rare.I bought it played the hell out of it and then gave it to my friend,who still has it to this day.I think I want it back.
I still listen to Alpha Team just because of the memories.
Totally choice Techno tracks.......2004-04-14
I'm not surprised that this CD single is impossible to find. I wouldn't have even known about it if I hadn't heard the single on the local college radio station in '91. And THEY didn't play the hardcore mix, either. There were probably only a few thousand pressed, since it was essentially a DJ mix. If you find it, grab it. Best 6:30 of techno + laffs I ever heard.
Techno plus Retro Speed Racer.......2003-07-18
Great album, capturing the high-speed excitement of Speed Racer. Brilliant homage to the TV series that started the whole anime craze. The big payoff is the "Hardcore" track, which adds a very funny element of some interesting, um, interaction between Speed and Trixie. Don't miss the punchline in the final 10 seconds.
better put it in a safe!.......2003-02-06
great album, but EXTREMELY hard to find. i have one of these, but it had a scratch on it (GASP!) so i just ordered 2 copies (hoping it is still in stock). if you are lucky enough to have one of these albums, guard it with your life! all you have to do is listen once to this single to know it is something truly extraordinary.

Strictly Live in '85 - Still Kicking Today.......2007-02-21
James Harman blows hot harp and his band cooks like crazy on this live CD. Good quality recording of live set captures the energy and power of JH & company's timeless blues.
A Real Goody.......2006-08-19
Years ago, Iwalked into a local club to listen to this band. Never heard them before. Afterwards. I thought they were as exciting as any blues band I'd ever heard. And that night, he'd only one guitarist with him. I immediately picked up this tape (in those days, it was either cassette or LP). Much to my pleasure, he had two great guitarists with him, plus a fine bass and drum section, probably the same ones that I'd heard before. This band was not only more exciting than the one I'd heard, but tighter as well. And then there were those excellent vocals and harmonica playing. Imagine my pleasure at seeing this out on CD, with extra cuts besides. I eagerly await even more, if possible.
