BBC DJ John Peel said of it: "If there has been anything in the history of popular music which could be described as a work of art in a way that people who are involved in other areas of art would understand, then Trout Mask Replica is probably that work." http://www.beefheart.com/index.html Peel's airplay of the record on late-night radio in Britain was largely responsible for its peak at number 21 on the UK charts.
