Mirror Man is the fifth album by Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band. It was recorded in 1967 for Buddah Records — apparently with the original intention of releasing an album recorded partly live in the studio and partly in the conventional way. Much of the studio material was eventually re-recorded and released as Strictly Personal (1968). The live tracks — "Tarotplane", "25th Century Quaker" and "Mirror Man" — remained unreleased until 1971 when Buddah issued them, along with an earlier version of "Kandy Korn" than that on Strictly Personal, as Mirror Man.
