Captain Beefheart’s 1969 avant-rock album, Trout Mask Replica, has just been rereleased on vinyl by Jack White's Third Man Records.

The two-record set was originally released on June 16, 1969, on Frank Zappa’s Straight Records through Reprise. The Third Man reissue includes the French-only seven-inch “Pachuco Cadaver” b/w “Wild Life” on white vinyl.

Was anybody at North Vancouver's Old Roller Rink in July, 1977, when Beefheart and his boys did a one-week stand?
