Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band, “Safe As Milk” (Buddah, 1967)
The Captain’s first full LP finds himself still (barely) in the same musical world as everyone else; this is snappy, rubber-limbed psychedelic blues-rock, but already a good deal more aggressively disorienting and alien than the competition. (Credit is due to Ry Cooder’s sun-dazed slide guitar as well as Cap).
Try A/1, A/2, A/6, B/1.
