Reception Professional ratings Review scoresīarret Hansen, in a December 1968 review for Rolling Stone, was unsure of the value of the record he felt that Beefheart and his band had "the capability of making the ultimate white blues album", but that the "noisy, discom-bobulated freakout shit" and "liquid audio" spoil the potential, so that it was unclear to him if the album was the work of "the world's greatest white bluesman", "a competent musician, capable of occasional titanic moments", or "a hack performer" with genius production. Some of these tracks were also used for a vinyl-only release by the Sundazed label in 2008 bearing the original intended title of It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper but this release does not duplicate the original album's concept or sequence. This album has long since been out of print, but all eleven tracks can be found spread across The Mirror Man Sessions and the current version of Safe as Milk. Much other material from the 1967 sessions has since been released: the compilation I May Be Hungry But I Sure Ain't Weird (1992) contained eleven of the original cuts taken from master tapes. Regardless, Beefheart did release his later recordings with a much more basic and unprocessed sound.īuddah released some recordings from the earlier sessions, along with an earlier version of "Kandy Korn", as Mirror Man in 1971. It has been claimed by other band members that he initially agreed to the use of these sounds. These comments became public only after sales of the album failed to reach expectations. He said the effects were added without his knowledge or approval. Beefheart subsequently condemned the production. Krasnow's heavy use of phasing and reverberation during mixing was done in accordance with the popular psychedelic rock trends of the day. Strictly Personal features re-recorded versions of songs from the 1967 sessions.
Buddah, however, declined to release the album, which appeared in revised form the following year. A considerable amount of material was recorded for the project during the period of October–November 1967 with Krasnow producing. The original intention was to record an album for Buddah Records entitled It Comes to You in a Plain Brown Wrapper ( Strictly Personal's sleeve design is a relic of this initial concept).
