THE GRATEFUL DEAD
...GOLD Warner Brothers - WB-1689 - "MONOPHONIC"
VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1967 MONO 1st DEAD Lp on the sought GOLD Warners label!
The ultra rare MONO edition contains different song mixes from the stereo issue and also has this BIG bold deep punch in the sound production, pretty cool, pretty neat....
The Grateful Dead's self-titled first album contains the main ingredients of the unique musical stew the band would brew over the coming years. Upon its release in March 1967, it brought the musical and philosophical ideals of the freak counter-culture out of the Bay Area and into the ears of mainstream America.
"The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" is a Summer Of Love anthem nonpareil. "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" shows off the Dead's ability to reinterpret the blues, and Pigpen's natural front-man qualities. The hyperactive rockabilly of Jesse Fuller's "Beat It On Down The Line" and the rearranged traditionals "Sitting On Top Of The World" and "Cold Rain And Snow" are proof that, despite the group's anti-establishment fashions, their lyrical symbols and musical forms were as time-honored as the English folk-tale that provided their name. While the cover of Bonnie Dobson's eerie anti-war epic "Morning Dew" and the women-and-wine rocker "New, New Minglewood Blues" are energetic portrayals of hippie values, the closing number, Noah Lewis's "Viola Lee Blues," is the album's grand, mind-blowing concoction and a highlight.
CONDITION: the cover is VG++ slight wear starting, mainly only on lower spine has been kept well over the past 40+ years. Still a cool looking display item in ones collection
The vinyl LOOKS VG(+) as numerous light scuffs/marks, LIGHT is key word here as nothing is deep, so at the worse a little light surface here or there, probably the quiet part in between tracks, otherwise plays ENJOYABLE and anyway, it's the oh-so-very rare GOLD WB first pressing MONO pressing!
A GREAT ADDITION TO ANYONES COLLECTIBLES!
