        Hard to find GOLD label ORIGINAL 1967 FIRST PRINTING of the first Grateful Dead album, a forever classic psychedelic garage platter that sounds cool every time it's listened to...an integral part of San Francisco's hippie sensation...
        
1967, San Francisco, The Dead. The bands first excursion into the studio, which is a place that they were never very comfortable with... (in fact they have admitted that they were ALL hyped up on various psychedelic drugs during these sessions, and had sort of a rough time recording it..) There is the early 45 released GOLDEN ROAD, and the enjoyable MINGLEWOOD BLUES (one of the signature picks from way back).. there are more equally catchy tunes like BEAT IT ON DOWN THE LINE and the gutter blues via Pigpen's GOOD MORNING LITTLE SCHOOL GIRL (though not as developed as some more classic live versions).. plus wonderful Jerry Garcia trips like CREAM PUFF WAR, COLD RAIN & SNOW and MORNING DEW. Altogether, there's a different mood that strikes for this album in particular... a sixties garage album all the way, so, pop a flower in your hair and get ready to dance in that weird, tripped out flower child kind of groove, baby. The Dead heads first, an album released in March 1967, recorded in a marathon time of about 70 hours. The album was very rough and tumble, and only one song hinted towards the epic jams in their live shows the exquisite- Viola Lee Blues ..........................................
