And now, ladies and gentlemen…I have a rare privilege of presenting one of the hardest-to-find Grateful Dead albums in their long and extensive discography. The brutally rare ORIGINAL 1967 MONO pressing of their first, self-titled album. When this great, freshman effort was recorded, the band’s original line-up consisted of Bob Weir, Pigpen, Bill Kreutzman, Jerry Garcia and Phil Lesh (credited on that album in this particular order; apparently, the order of seniority in the band at that point hadn’t crystalized yet; they still functioned - and continued to function for many years - as a free, democratic, anarchistic unit). The songs on the album have more in common with the mid-60’s R&B which the band covered at this point of their career - with some early psychedelic ornamentation and arrangements - than with what Dead later became known for (extensive improvisations). The sound is gorgeous , punchy mono, in some cases it appears that the mixes are slightly different - better, I’d say - that on the stereo version of the album, but I am no expert in Grateful Dead, please contact me if you have any questions. The songs are: The golden road - Beat it on down the line - Good Mornin’ Little School Girl - Cold Rain and Snow - Sittin’ on top of the world - Cream Puff War - Morning Dew - New, New Minglewood Blues - Viola Lee Blues. A Rare psychedelic relic and a must for any serious Deadhead.
