unusual facts about Stereo Review



Julian Hirsch

Hirsch first tested gear for Popular Electronics, then, in October 1961, for Hi-Fi/Stereo Review, which was later renamed Stereo Review.

The Spotlight Kid

Stereo Review acknowledged the album as Beefheart's attempt to "go commercial," while opining that "Captain's conception of commercial is still sweetly weird." Colman Andrews writing in Phonograph Record Magazine described the album as evidence that Van Vliet was "the greatest white blues singer in America today."
