Birth Of The Dead Volume One-The Studio Sessions (180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl/Limited Edition/Gatefold Cover) by Grateful Dead (2013) - Limited Edition
The legendary Bay area rock superstars the Grateful Dead scored for over four decades a plethora of wonderful recordings throughout their incredible career. Spearheaded originally by the late great Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kruetzmann and the late Ron Pigpen McKernan, these five gentlemen set the world on fire with their magnificent artistry and musicianship which is unparalleled to this day.
With their very first San Francisco gigs and studio recordings when they were locally known as The Warlocks, the historical importance of these debut sessions would soon become a blueprint for the music world as the Grateful Dead would become one of the band s and biggest concert attractions of all time.
Over a decade ago, the Grateful Dead unearthed 17 super rare studio recordings from 1965 through 1967. Aside from an ultra rare 45 on Scorpio Records and a collaborative effort with Jon Hendricks on Verve Records, none of these recordings were ever released. Ranging from the very first sessions at Autumn Records (Beau Brummels, Sly Stone) and then the Scorpio Records sides, these tracks simply became manna for the fans and were truly a find for any collector of fine rock and roll and early psych and garage rock fare.
Gordon Lightfoot s Early Morning Rain kicks off the collection, and then the fireworks light up as future Dead classics like I Know You Rider, Don t Ease Me In and Cold Rain And Snow truly become a very important and interesting listen to any fan of the Dead or classic rock in general.
Known for their jams in concert and in the studio setting, you will get to hear stellar takes on rare tracks like Tastebud, The Only Time Is Now, and of course the super rare Jon Hendricks (Lambert, Hendricks & Ross) protest rocker Fire In The City.
These amazing Dead recordings have never been released on the vinyl format that is until now....
