  • Clear Spot is the seventh album by Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, originally released on LP in 1972 in a clear plastic sleeve. After Trout Mask Replica, which was critically acclaimed but sold poorly, each of the group's following albums was slightly more conventional than the one before. Though Beefheart wanted more commercial success - hence his decision to work with producer Ted Templeman who had produced such artists as Carly Simon and Van Morrison - Clear Spot did not chart at all in the UK and only reached #191 on the Billboard Top 200. On CD, the album is now available only as a "two for one" with its predecessor The Spotlight Kid. Separately, the two albums are only available as vinyl LP reissues. The cover photo shows band members in the control center of the Planetarium of Griffith Park Observatory, Los Angeles, California. In March 2005, Q magazine placed "Big Eyed Beans from Venus" at number 53 in its list of the 100 Greatest Guitar Tracks. "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" was featured on the soundtrack of the 1998 film The Big Lebowski.
  • Clear Spot è il settimo album di Captain Beefheart & the Magic Band, pubblicato nel 1972. Sebbene in questo periodo della sua carriera, ovvero quello centrale, i dischi di Beefheart sono ricordati per essere più commerciali, Clear Spot non scalò le classifiche, raggiungendo solo il centonovantunesimo sulla Top 200 di Billboard. La versione CD è disponibile solo in un cofanetto che contiene anche il suo predecessore, The Spotlight Kid. Nel Marzo del 2005 Q magazine mise "Big Eyed Beans from Venus" al cinquantatreesimo posto nella lista delle migliori Guitar Tracks.
