A very interesting review of an album that`s rather overlooked, even though it was apparently a favorite of John Lennon`s for a while. In England the album was sold as Dropout Boogie, presumably to cash in on the publicity generated by Edgar Broughton`s single, Apache Dropout - a cover version that spliced together the Beefheart gem with an old song by The Shadows and made it to no. 33 in the charts.
John Lennon would`ve been listening to the vinyl version that stopped at track 13, Autumn`s Child.What are the bonus tracks like ? I imagine they must have a very different feel as it looks like they`re from the sessions that turned into Strictly Personal
