Some words on this issue: GRATEFUL DEAD: “Steal Your Face” (Liberty Japan – LLS-67095?96) Very Rare Japan 1st press original WHITE LABEL PROMO Issue with OBI!!!! Hard to come by Japanese pressing with obi and booklet of this all time classic Grateful dead album. What makes this Dead album so freaking special is that all Japanese pressings of Dead albums up to 1977 are just virtually impossible to get and this one is no exception. They sold poorly at the time in Japan just because of the fact that they were bloody expensive seen against the minimum wage one received in those days. And here you have a totally mint copy of such a Dead artifact. “Steal Your Face” This is classic early to mid 70's Dead, be it a bit in a slum but still awesome to these ears and totally laidback and doped out. Recorded during a stretch of live shows at San Francisco's Winterland venue in 1974, this two-LP set contains some of the best Grateful Dead performances ever officially released of that period. The first LP starts with two Chuck Berry songs and an old traditional tune “Cold Rain & Snow”, highlighting the band's roots. The touching “Stella Blue” and the wryly melancholic “Ship of Fools” follow. The second LP is exceptional. Vigorous interpretations of Johnny Cash's “Big River” and Marty Robbins' “El Paso” spike a quintet of classic Dead songs, from the crowd-pleasing “Casey Jones” to the beloved shuffle of “Sugaree” and “U.S. Blues”, one of their most exuberant and freewheeling compositions, is a blast of orange sunshine. “Black-Throated Wind” reveals itself as perhaps the band’s most underrated composition. If this wasn't enough, “Steal Your Face” also includes the definitive version of “It Must Have Been the Roses” itself a charming study in the Grateful Dead’s unique brand of folk/country/psychedelic/rock. White label promo copy on virginal high quality Japanese vinyl, damned rare…
