Accompanied by a press release for Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band, known as The Great Gnome Biography written by Derek Taylor, the Apple Records/Beatles publicist. Ten loose sheets of typed ribbon copy with typed rectos only and stapled in the upper left-hand corner. With the address of Beefheart's management and public relations firms at the end. Fine. The famed rock critic Ralph J. Gleason's copy with his Signature at the top of the first sheet.

Gleason was a very influential critic of jazz and rock music, and was a founding editor of *Rolling Stone*. An amusing and inventive fable, we can find no evidence of publication, and this could presumably be unique.…
