Three is the magic number, and so we celebrated three years of Record Club with tracks from our favourite albums over that time.

We were innundated with tunes people had discovered via Record Club, and records suitable for Birthday Parties, and simly people’s favourite tracks, from which we built a playlist on the night.

Captain Beefheart was one of Dave’s big finds through record club.

Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band

1972

Event:

First Record Club

When we played this we had at least one Captain Beefheart fan that had made the trip especially to be at the club. As it happens we should have been playing Safe as Milk, but we hadn’t managed to track down a copy in time!

For some of us this was the first time we’d listened to a whole Beefheart album.

Good stuff!
