What a Long Strange Trip It s Been: The Best of The Gratefuld Dead 1977 WARNER BROTHERS DOUBLE LP SET 2W-3091 ISSUE
The Grateful Dead recorded their first 8 albums for Warner Brothers before leaving to form their own record label in 1972. This era of the Dead produced most of their most well known songs, including Truckin , Sugar Magnolia , Casey Jones , Dark Star , etc. Warners initial attempt to compile the best songs from this period resulted in the greatest hits album Skeletons From The Closet . Then in 1977 they put out this 2 record set now 2 CDs , which makes an ideal companion to the earlier hits album. Only one song, Truckin , is repeated from Skeletons... . They also include a live version of St. Stephen , the studio version of which had appeared on the earlier collection. It was certainly misleading of them to subtitle this The Best Of The Grateful Dead . In reality, most of the best songs got put on the first hits album, and this album has the best of what s left over. But what wonderful leftovers Ripple is fantastic, it certainly would have made the cut for the first hits collection if I had compiled it. Other standouts include Jack Straw , Me And My Uncle , Cumberland Blues , Brown-Eyed Woman , and Playing In The Band . The previously-mentioned Dark Star , which has long been a concert favorite of the deadheads although it doesn t really do much for me , is also here. This album also includes more live recordings than Skeletons... , so it begins to paint a more accurate portrait of what the Dead were all about than that collection did. If you own Skeletons... and are looking for the logical next step, this is it. If you don t already have Skeletons... , then start there, not here. Of course, many hard-core deadheads would advise skipping the compilations altogether and just going with all the original albums, but for those of us who don t really feel the need to own 15-20 Dead LPs, the compilations work quite nicely

SHAKEDOWN STREET - JAPAN OBI ISSUE
Shakedown Street is a fascinating listen - classic sounds from a classic band. Even the jacket artwork is classic.
The Grateful Dead led by Jerry Garcia were one of the cornerstones of 60s counterculture - the band had lots of members from diverse musical backgrounds, each lending a different facet to the band s sound and approach to music. 1978 s Shakedown Street is their tenth studio album and is definitive Dead - essential to any serious rock collection, a fusion of rock, funk, blues, reggae, country and improvisational jam. Produced by Lowell George of Little Feat - the union between George and the Grateful Dead was certainly intriguing.
The album features Garcia and Bog Weir on vocals and guitars, Phil Lesh on bass and vocals, Keith Godchaux on vocals and keyboards, Donna Jean Godchaux on vocals and Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart on percussion.
AMERICAN BEAUTY - This is a 1970 companion album to Workingman s Dead. It features the Dead s best-known songs like Sugar Magnolia, Friend Of The Devil, Truckin and Ripple. This is the album that would remain as the Dead s studio masterpiece.

180g LP Mastered From Original Analog Masters by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios and Pressed at RTI
The Grateful Dead is the debut album of the Grateful Dead. It was recorded by Warner Bros. Records, and was released in March 1967. The Grateful Dead band was formed in 1965 and is known for its unique and eclectic style fusing elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, and country.
Between 1967 and 1970, the Grateful Dead recorded five studio albums for Warner Bros. Records that formed the psychedelic canon on which the band s live legend was built. Those albums were pressed on premium 180g vinyl at RTI and packaged as a Deluxe 5LP Box Set. This 180g LP is the same as the pressing that was included in that set.
Reviews of the 5LP Box Set:
... Each LP s cover has been meticulously reproduced, the 180-gram vinyl pressed at RTI from freshly-cut lacquers mastered from the original analog tapes by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios... - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, January 2011, Issue 209
...when it comes to focus, overall clarity, balance, dynamic punch, and bottom-end weight, which are hallmarks of these Rhino s reissues. As to Phil Lesh s marvelous and important bass playing - the clarity of line, and his round, almost creamy tone - is one of the great joys of this new set. These new LPs knock the others, including the CD box, right off my shelf. - Wayne Garcia, The Absolute Sound, January 2011, Issue 209
To ensure the highest degree of quality, this album was pressed on 180-gram vinyl at RTI using lacquers cut from the original analog masters by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The album features detailed replica of the original album packaging.

180g LP Mastered From Original Analog Masters by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios and Pressed at RTI
Originally released in June of 1970, Workingman s Dead was the fourth studio album recorded by the Grateful Dead. In 2003, the album was ranked number 262 on Rolling Stone magazine s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
The title of the album comes from a comment from Jerry Garcia to lyricist Robert Hunter about how this album was turning into the Workingman s Dead version of the band. The sound of this album was influenced by Garcia s pairing with songwriter Hunter as well as the group s friendship with Crosby, Stills and Nash. The sound that C, S N created made the Dead strive for a better, more harmonious sound themselves.
Between 1967 and 1970, the Grateful Dead recorded five studio albums for Warner Bros. Those records formed the psychedelic canon on which the band s live legend was built. The five albums were pressed on premium 180g vinyl at RTI and packaged as a Deluxe 5LP Box Set. This 180g LP is the same as the pressing that was included in that set.

Workingman s Dead is an excellent album. It s a warming album. And most importantly, the Dead have finally produced a complete studio album. The songs stand up quite nicely right on their own merits, which are considerable. - Rolling Stone, 1970
Of course they don t sing as pretty as CSNY - prettiness would trivialize these songs. The sparse harmonies and hard-won melodies go with lyrics that make all the American connections claimed by San Francisco s counterculture. - Robert Christgau

The Grateful Dead Birth Of The Dead: Volume Two The Live Sides 180 GRAM LIMITED EDITION 2 LP SET - 180g Audiophile Vinyl Mastered by Friday Music s Joe Reagoso Features Photos By Herb Greene Exclusive To This LP
Numbered, limited edition 180-gram LP from Mobile Fidelity. The Dead will survive: 1987 album gave band new lease on life, best studio effort in more than a decade
Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes: Jerry Garcia and Bob Weir s dynamic magnified, bluesy riffs properly textured
In the Dark contains Touch of Grey : Dead s only Top 40 hit, entire album boasts continuity, flow, and cheer of a memorable live show: After more than a decade, group finally tallied another studio masterwork
In the Dark will forever be known as the Grateful Dead record that propelled the iconic band into the mainstream conscious more than two decades after its career began. Thanks to undeniable hooks, sing-a-long refrains, and shrug-it-off sentiments on the survivalist anthem Touch of Grey, the Dead was exposed to new generations of listeners and, in the process, became celebrity figures that packed football stadiums with fans. But In the Dark remains significant for many other, more important reasons-Jerry Garcia s stunning recovery from a coma, Garcia and Bob Weir s compelling dynamic, and an impeccable batch of tunes. It also stands bar-none as the sextet s finest output since 1975.
Half-speed mastered from the original master tapes and part of the label s unprecedented Grateful Dead reissue series, Mobile Fidelity s numbered limited edition 180g LP of In the Dark presents the Dead s long-overdue breakthrough in attention-grabbing fidelity. Even in an era in which the most revered artists succumbed to the day s prevailing sound namely, slick textures and artificial keyboard-heavy production that evoked the feel of Saran-Wrap the band remained obstinate in its allegiance to revealing fidelity. As it happened, the Dead recorded most of the record live onstage at Marin Civic Auditorium using the then-newly introduced Dolby SR-a technology that permitted astounding instrumental separation, even when playing live. The group s inimitable blend now sounds better, more immediate, and natural than ever.
Everything including the clip-clop of cowbells, Mickey Hart and Billy Kreutzmann s rhythm-devil grooves, Phil Lesh s supple bass lines, Garcia s sweetened timbre, and Brent Mydland s pastel-shaded keyboard melodies converges into a delightfully balanced, animate entity. The music possesses tube-like warmth and glow, and the band s renewed vigor and, particularly, Garcia s mellifluous guitar tones and rippling passages, come across with irresistible immediacy, heft, and vitality.
