[[Captain Beefheart]] is the alias of Don van Vliet, seen on the right of the cover photo.
 +
The photo has been flipped, left to right, evidenced by the sign above FZ's head which reads "Chocolate Sundae" backwards. On the wider 'zoom-out' image of the Australian cover this is more apparent, but can also be seen at the overlap on the back of other vinyl issues. The [[John French]] book (Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of Magic; p10) suggests this photo was taken at 'Fosters Freeze' in [[Lancaster]].
 +

The tracks [[Sam With The Showing Scalp Flat Top]] and [[Man With The Woman Head]] were written by [[Captain Beefheart|Don van Vliet]] ©1973 Beefheart Music, BMI.
