right, have located multiple stocks of these ones for five quid a throw. Can I trouble you to describe them further? What's the ratio of whimsy to WWAWWWAAAAAAAAAH-booom-booom-EEEEEEE_WWAAAAAAH?
first lp really is like a garage rock LP... not much whimsy at all...
1. "The Golden Road (To Unlimited Devotion)" (Grateful Dead) – 2:13
2. "Beat It on Down the Line" (Fuller) – 2:33
3. "Good Morning Little School Girl" (Williamson) – 5:45
4. "Cold Rain and Snow" (Grateful Dead) – 2:31
5. "Sitting on Top of the World" (Jacobs, Carter) – 2:07
6. "Cream Puff War" (Garcia) – 2:28
[edit] Side two
7. "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew" (Dobson, Rose) – 5:08
8. "New, New Minglewood Blues" (Lewis) – 2:37
9. "Viola Lee Blues" (Lewis) – 10:13
a lotta blues covers and stuff.... Golden Road is a great pop song...
it's basically a high energy hippie dance record, not much of the folky stuff you would associate w/ the dead, it really doesn't sound like that at all... i mean, check how many songs are 2:30 or less... i read somewhere they recorded the whole record on speed and it sounds that way... i prefer side 1 to side 2...
Anthem of the Sun is totaly different... really trippy and weird... a lot of medleys and tape edits, w/ studio stuff and live stuff put together... the original mix was done w/ garcia and co high on acid... some songs do have a folky touch to them, but in an odd way... the song structure is weird on a lot of songs, but unlike the first record, you can recognize it as the Dead... and there is def some whimsy on this one, but there is a lot of WWAWWWAAAAAAAAAH-booom-booom-EEEEEEE_WWAAAAAAH, too
