=== ''The 'Brown Wrapper' Sessions'' === After returning to the US, the plan was for the band to leave Buddah and sign to [[MGM Records]], and they re-recorded some Buddah material of the partial ''Mirror Man'' sessions at Sunset Sound with [[Bruce Botnick]]. Beefheart was conceptualizing new band names, including ''25th Century Quaker'' and ''Blue Thumb''.<ref>French, John. ''Beefheart: Through The Eyes Of Magic'', p327 β 329. {{ISBN|978-0-9561212-1-9}}</ref> The idea of ''25th Century Quaker'' was that it would be a "blues band" alias for the more avant-garde work of the Magic Band. Krasnow then set up his own label, ''[[Blue Thumb Records|Blue Thumb]]'', which launched with ''Strictly Personal''. Thus "25th Century Quaker" became a track and a potential band-name became a label. Given that Krasnow had poached the band from Buddah, there were limitations on what material could be released. The raft of material left behind emerged as ''I May Be Hungry, But I Sure Ain't Weird''. Both ''Blue Thumb'' and the stamps on the cover of ''Strictly Personal'' have LSD connotations, as does the track "Ah Feel Like Ahcid".
