Captain Beefheart: The Spotlight Kid (Record Store Day 2024) versie op vinyl 2LP in limited deluxe gekleurde editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in Europa op 20. april 2024.

"Captain Beefheart: The Spotlight Kid," released in 1972, is an album that showcases the unique blend of blues, rock, and avant-garde styles that Captain Beefheart, also known as Don Van Vliet, was renowned for. This album marks a departure from the highly experimental "Trout Mask Replica," leaning towards a more accessible sound while still maintaining Beefheart's idiosyncratic approach to music composition and performance. The Spotlight Kid features a simpler and more stripped-down production compared to its predecessors, with songs like "I'm Gonna Booglarize You Baby" and "Grow Fins" highlighting Beefheart's distinctive growling vocals and the Magic Band's tight musicianship. The album has since been recognized as one of Captain Beefheart's more approachable works, offering listeners a glimpse into the singular vision of one of rock music's most unconventional artists.

Album valt binnen het genre Rock, Avant-gardistische muziek en Blues Rock.
