JOHN 'DRUMBO' FRENCH Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of
Magic (2010 UK 864 page [Yes, 864 !] book detailing the
incredible time spent as the Drummer of choice with the Magic
Band, including transcribing the parts for Trout Mask Replica
under tyrannical duress. Drumbo joined The Magic Band at
just seventeen years of age, just before recording started on
Safe As Milk, and spent the next fourteen years working with
Don Van Vliet in various incarnations of The Magic Band. In
this warts 'n'all book, told with philosophical humour, you are
taken on a journey through those revolutionary musical years
and just what it meant to be a member of the unbelievable
Magic Band. Needless to say, the music scene in the sixties
Lancaster, CA garage rock scene inevitably takes in Frank
Zappa, probably the Captain's main 'rival' [if there could be
such a thing], even though the ground breaking Trout Mask
came out on Zappa's own Straight label and it was him giving
Beefheart the freedom to make the album he wanted to that
made Trout Mask the classic it is. This perfect condition
hardback copy contains many rare and previously unseen
photographs and in addition has been signed on teh front of
the dust jacket by the author himself. At last, a chance to
separate fact from myth, written by someone who was in the
eye of the storm)
