SUPER RARE 1972 MINTY WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL original

White label promo albums from the sixties & early 70's (the good ones) have all but vanished into private collections ...collectors have long hunted them as they were limited pressings and the first to be pressed off the freshly cut master, retaining the *best* sound quality.

Contains the super rare GARCIA sticker which was only on first pressings on the outer cellophane wrapper ...this copy contains the sticker in a well placed area on the cover, serving to (slightly) cover the depicted female's lower region...

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.

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

CONDITION: The cover is still in the original shrink wrap and MINT ...a special copy with the rare "GARCIA" sticker on outside of the cellophane
