Page "Captain Beefheart" Paragraph 25

In overview, the works for the double album in this period were intended to be packaged in a plain brown wrapper, with a ' strictly personal ' over-stamp and addressed in a manner that could have connotations of drug content, pornographic or illicit material ; As per the small ads of the time ; " It comes to you in a plain brown wrapper ".

Given that Krasnow had effectively poached the band from Buddah there were limitations on what material could be released.

Strictly Personal was the result, contained in its enigmatically-addressed parcel sleeve.

The raft of material left behind eventually emerged, firstly on CD as I May Be Hungry, But I Sure Ain't Weird and later on vinyl, implemented by John French, as It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper ( which has two tracks that are missing from the former release ).

Both Blue Thumb and the stamps on the cover of Strictly Personal have LSD connotations, as does the track " Ah Feel Like Ahcid ".
