It will be a vinyl album called "Frank Freeman's Dance Club".
"Deluxe
180 Gram vinyl LP on purple wax with gatefold sleeve. One of the highlights of
Captain Beefheart's 1968 tour of the UK was the concert at Frank Freeman's
Dance Club in Kidderminster. Fortunately legendary DJ John Peel brought his
tape recorder and recorded four brilliant numbers from the show which appear on
this album along with four other tracks from that era. Pride of place on the
front cover of the LP goes to one of the recently discovered 1968 screen
printed posters for the Frank Freeman's Beefheart show.
With Beefheart coming from a country where band names like Quicksilver
Messenger Service and Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen were de rigeur,
when Peel told Captain Beefheart he was driving him to a concert venue in
Kidderminster called FrankFreeman's Dance Club , Beefheart said "What a
groovy name" thinking it was in the same hippy west coast vibe as the
aforementioned bands. Peel explained it wasn't a groovy name but simply a Dance
Club run by Frank Freeman."
