Over 80% of the tracks are previously unreleased! \"Beefheart is a man obsessed with words and their power. I respect his literary abilities. Sometimes I even doubt whether he can read or write at all. ...His relationship with language is unique, and having someone so obsessed with words allows me to try things I've never been able to do before. There's something remarkable about the way he takes what I've written, makes it his own, and conveys it to the audience. He truly breathes life into words. Despite his various shortcomings, both mentally and technically, he is undoubtedly worthy of being called an artist. His brilliant mind is useful in areas where it's not so useful in society. How do you deal with a man who is highly intelligent and yet wants to sing with a voice like Howlin' Wolf?\" ?
