He stayed in the band until 1982. Speaking to Uncut, Tepper reveals that aside from the alternative versions that appear on Sun Zoom Spark, there is also a trove of unreleased Beefheart material.\r\n\r\n\u201cI can name a dozen songs right now that I wanted to record with him but which never got recorded,\u201d says Tepper. \u201cThey exist maybe more as poems than as songs. He had music for a song called \u2018Your Love Brought Me To Life\u2019, I think it was published in a book in Germany. We had worked on a song called \u2018Child Ecologist\u2018 which was another symphony. He\u2019d done something before I ever met him called \u2018Big Sur Suite\u2019 which was an incredibly beautiful piece of music, this huge, thematic, movie kind of theme and gorgeous words. He probably had more unrecorded, undocumented works than recorded works. He\u2019s an artist."},"elements":[],"widgetType":"text-editor"}],"isInner":false}],"isInner":false}]
