The "Riding Some Kind of Unusual Skull Sleigh" box set is a great collectors piece for the true Don Van Vliet, "Captain Beefheart", fan.  This is no ordinary box set.  Enclosed in this set, number 761/1500, is two books, an audio CD, a DVD, and a signed print/etching.  These are held by a beautiful case that slides into a slip cover.  The first book, Splinters, is a collection of photos, lyrics, artworks, cuttings, and the lyrics of the enclosed CD.  The second book, Riding Some Kind of Unusual Skull Sleigh, includes an essay by Ben Watson and 60 color plates of Don Vliet's paintings.  The audio CD, "Riding Some Kind of Unusual Skull Sleigh",  is a collection of 11  song/poem fragments that are whistled, recited, and sung by Don Vliet.  The DVD, "Some Yo Yo Stuff", is a short film by Anton Corbijn.  The best and most valuable part of this set is the signed and numbered print/etching.  This a Van Vliet original and has a number that matches the one on the front of the case.  The print/etching is titled, "untitled (Self Portrait)".  So there you have it, here is your chance to get a hold of a Don Van Vliet, "Captain Beefheart", true collectors item.  These are now out of print and quite hard to locate.  Place a Bid!
