Hard to find 48 year old 1969 first print ... Grateful Dead s third ACID album...first recorded in 1969 on the hard to find W-7 label
The third DEAD Lp gets real psychedelic...
The Grateful Dead s third studio effort was also the first that the band did without any Warner Bros. staff producers or engineers hampering their creative lifestyle and subsequent processes. As they had done with their previous release, Anthem of the Sun, the Dead were actively seeking new forays and pushing envelopes on several fronts simultaneously during Aoxomoxoa 1968 -- which was created under the working title of Earthquake Country. This was no doubt bolstered by the serendipitous technological revolution which essentially allowed the Dead to re-record the entire contents when given free reign at the appropriately named Pacific High Recording facility. As fate would have it, they gained virtually unlimited access to the newly acquired Ampex MM-1000 -- the very first 16-track tape machines ever produced -- which was absolutely state of the art in late 1968. The band was also experiencing new directions artistically. This was primarily the net result of the budding relationship between primary melodic contributor Jerry Garcia guitar/vocals and Robert Hunter lyrics , who began his nearly 30-year association with the Grateful Dead in earnest during these sessions. When the LP hit the racks in the early summer of 1969, Deadheads were greeted by some of the freshest and most innovative sounds to develop from the thriving Bay Area music scene. The Lp includes seminal psychedelic rockers such as St. Stephen, China Cat Sunflower, and Cosmic Charlie, as well as hints of the direction their music would take on the Baroque-influenced Mountains of the Moon and Rosemary. The folky Dupree s Diamond Blues -- which itself was loosely based on the traditional Betty Dupree -- would likewise foreshadow the sound of their next two studio long-players, Workingman s Dead 1969 and American Beauty 1970 . The too-trippy-for-its-own-good What s Become of the Baby is buried beneath layers of freaky acid effects including Hunter s surreal lyrics and Garcia s understated vocals languish beneath the acid sonics.
