Notes

White label promo in Loss Leaders Series liner, promoting the first 5 'PRO' mail-order releases.

℗ + © Warner Bros. Records Inc. 1972.

This promo was issued with accompanying record company letter:
Letter is half page with Warner addresses from Burbank and New York with Warner and Reprise logos. The letter reads in old style cursive type:
"Captain Beefheart
Reprise recording artist continues to bombard the senses with barrages of tangled verse, overloaded imagery, fantastic poetry and searing instrumental work on his newest, The Spotlight Kid. January, 1972."

Includes an insert with the lyrics.
