Captain Beefheart, born Don Van Vliet on January 15th, 1941 in Glendale, California, was a multi-talented artist known for his roles as a vocalist, harp-player, saxophonist, flautist, songwriter, lyricist, poet and painter. He gained recognition as the frontman of "Captain Beefheart And His Magic Band" and went on to record numerous official albums. Additionally, he collaborated with other artists throughout his career. In 1982, Captain Beefheart retired from music to focus on painting full time. He exhibited his artwork in galleries across New York City, the UK and Europe. Sadly, he passed away on December 17th, 2010 due to complications from multiple sclerosis.

From his first recorded appearance titled "A Low Forceps Delivery," featuring Don Glen Vliet at Glendale Research Hospital on January 15th, 1941 at 16:25 hours until his retirement as a musician in 1982 and subsequent successful career as a painter and conservationist until his passing in 2010; Captain Beefheart left an indelible mark on the art world.

Throughout his life and artistic endeavors, Captain Beefheart maintained a deep affinity for wildlife and was dedicated to conservation efforts. His passion for both music and visual arts allowed him to express himself creatively in unique ways that continue to captivate audiences today.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner

'​Lick My Decals Off, Baby' is the fourth album by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band, released in 1970 on Frank Zappa's Straight Records label. The follow-up to 'Trout Mask Replica' (1969), it is regarded by some critics and listeners as superior, and was Van Vliet's personal favorite. The tone of '​Lick My Decals Off, Baby' is a bit darker, examining environmental issues in some songs rather than simply concentrating on surreal wordplay. The jagged, complex rhythms and guitar interplay continue to amaze. Those wanting to dig deeper after the essential 'Trout Mask Replica' are advised to begin doing so here.CD - Remastered CD.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl with Download.
