11. The 1010th Day of the Human Totem Pole
This is an album that was first recorded in 1976 but got re-recorded and released in 1978. Due to legal issues, the album couldn't be released as planned and was re-recorded in 1978. Some of the unreleased songs from the original version made it onto later Beefheart albums. In 1982, his legal troubles settled and he intended on using half of the tracks from the original album on his new album Ice Cream for Crow. Unfortunately, he was only able to include two of the tracks on the album. The original version would eventually be released in 2012 with some exclusive songs.
Regardless of album continuity, I listened to both versions and picked the songs I liked the best. I ended up taking out the instrumentals Ice Rose and Suction Prints and replaced them with Brick Bats from Doc at the Radar Station and The 1010th Day of the Human Totem Pole from Ice Cream for Crow. I also took out the last track Apes-ma for being a short spoken word recording. The album ends up being two minutes longer without it.
