RARE ... ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL

SCARCE FINAL COLLECTION COPY - 

1972  original "UNCENSORED" = the fully naked female cover was quickly censored with a large red & black sticker over the exposed female body parts, this copy was a pre-release first printing that escaped the censoring sticker...but has the transparent GARCIA sticker in its place that was on the outer cellophane of the original '72 release and is very scarce ... in other words you can still see the so called offending photo with this sticker being transparent

Hands down the *best* Garcia album, with members of the DEAD, many of the songs are classics an were incorporated into DEAD concerts....

Perhaps what is most interesting about Garcia’s self-titled solo debut is how seamlessly he mixed his more adventurous, avant-garde fare with material that fit so well within the Grateful Dead’s canon. Easing fans into the maelstrom, the first side of the effort featured a quartet of tunes — the rollicking Deal, the sweetly sonorous elegy Bird Song, the lilting swing of Sugaree, and the melancholy-drenched Loser — that were already familiar to fans. While there indisputably is a clean, studio polish to the tracks, they also vigorously sprang to life — a notion that is even more true in their newly refurbished state. Indeed, whether it’s Garcia’s sweeping pedal steel, his biting electric slide, his bubbly bass, his tenderly picked acoustic, or his swirling organ accents — he played all of the instruments himself, save for the symphonic drum accompaniments provided by Bill Kreutzmann — each song was carefully fashioned into a brilliantly sparkling poprock/folk/psych/Dead gem.

As for the latter half of Garcia, it featured two additional collaborative compositions with Robert Hunter — the gently intimate To Lay Me Down and the orbital gracefulness of The Wheel — fused within a strange kaleidoscope of chaotic mayhem. Not unlike The Beatles’ sound collage Revolution 9 or George Martin’s strangely psychedelic classical contributions to its Yellow Submarine soundtrack, Garcia’s own ornate musings surged with ideas that darted manically, building a tension that eluded to the Grateful Dead’s space segments 20 years hence.
Six tracks eventually became standards in the Grateful Dead concert repertoire.

• "Deal" – 3:14
• "Bird Song" – 4:26
• "Sugaree" – 5:54
• "Loser" – 4:10
• "Late For Supper" – 1:37
• "Spidergawd" – 3:25
• "EEP Hour" – 5:08
• "To Lay Me Down" – 6:18
• "An Odd Little Place" – 1:38
• "The Wheel" – 4:12

CONDITION: The cover: is a CLEAN copy "EX" (excellent)  with scarce (transparent) GARCIA sticker on outer cover that was only on the outside cellophane of first printings over the controversial female area that was soon to be altogether banned and re-designed so it couldn't be seen at all....retains all bright colors, uncensored original artwork, no bends, no writing and no split seams

The vinyl: smooth & clear, rated: "M-" full of clean shine, well kept, plays TOP of the line with clean white promo Warner Brothers labels...

keeper!
