I was recently reminded by Guy Webster of the original concept for the album. The album title was originally supposed to be called It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper with Strictly Personal stamped on the envelope. The double album was supposed to be split into two different groups. Disc One was the arranged music (Trust Us, Kandy Korn, On Tomorrow, Beatle Bones, Moody Liz, Flower Pot, Dirty Blue Gene, etc.) done by Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band. The other half (Mirror Man, Tarotplane, Korn Ring Finger, Gimme Dat Harp Boy, Twenty-Fifth Century Quaker, etc.) was done as an improvised avant-garde blues album by Twenty-Fifth Century Quaker - a ''different'' group. The idea was that CB & TMB would be us playing under our pseudonyms. Whereas Twenty-Fifth Century Quaker would be the warm-up act - us performing the more improvised stuff, using our own names, and dressed up in Quaker outfits.
