* "Here I Am, I Always Am" was the original b-side to "Moonchild" and appears as such on an acetate, but the band decided to use "Frying Pan" instead. It was eventually used as a bonus track on "The Legendary A&M Sessions" EP in the mid 80s, as well as on the Grow Fins box set in 1999, which included an alternate take of it too.

* {{Defictionalization}}: Don originally wanted Clear Spot to be pressed on clear vinyl, but this was an expensive process in 1972 and the budget wouldn't allow it. By the album's 50th Anniversary Reissue in 2022, however, it was a much more common process - so this edition of the album was finally on the clear vinyl Don intended. It didn't, however, replicate his original plan of being a clear record in embossed PVC sleeve (the latter which was used on early pressings), so fans would have to recreate this themselves.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Beefheart said his second album ''Music/StrictlyPersonal'' was victim of this, though he only said this after it failed to become a commercial success. Specifically, Beefheart claimed the phasing and other gratuitous "psychedelic" effects heard throughout the album were added by RecordProducer Bob Krasnow without his knowledge or approval.

** The planned double album "It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper" had several songs that did not make it to "Mirror Man" or "Strictly Personal", these being "Big Black Baby Shoes", "Flower Pot", "Dirty Blue Gene" and "Moody Liz". However, all of these songs were unfinished. Both the then-unfinished "On Tomorrow" and "Moody Liz" would be rerecorded in the Strictly Personal sessions, but only the former was finished for the album - the latter's outtake version (complete with phasing) has leaked however.

** The band turned down the offer to play at the Film/MontereyPopFestival at the insistence of guitarist Ry Cooder, who felt the group was not ready. However, Cooder has also claimed that at a warm-up show several days before, Beefheart refused to sing and jumped off the stage, leaving the band to play a mostly instrumental set. The guitarist said this was the reason he refused to play.
