The Grateful Dead's eponymously titled debut long-player was issued in mid-March of 1967.
This gave rise to one immediate impediment -- the difficulty in attempting to encapsulate/recreate the Dead's
often improvised musical magic onto a single LP. Unfortunately, the sterile environs of the recording studio
disregards the subtle and often not-so-subtle ebbs and zeniths that are so evident within a live experience.
So, while this studio recording ultimately fails in accurately exhibiting The Grateful Dead's tremendous range,
it's a valiant attempt to corral the group's hydra-headed psychedelic jug-band music on vinyl.
Under the technical direction of Dave Hassinger -- who had produced the Rolling Stones as well as the Jefferson Airplane --
the Dead recorded the album in Los Angeles during a Ritalin-fuelled "long weekend" in early 1967...(AllMusic)
