History Of The Grateful Dead Volume 1 Bear's Choice 50th Anniversary Remaster Vinyl
Merchant: Townsend Music
Merchant's Category: music
The original album, newly remastered by GRAMMYregAwardwinning engineer, David Glasser, using Plangent Processes from the original analog 2track tapes, recorded live by Owsley ldquoBearrdquo Stanley. The Grateful Deads first true archival album, Bears Choice, was lovingly produced as a tribute to Pigpen shortly after he passed by none other that the Deads original soundman and benefactor, Owsley Stanley, aka Bear. Drawing from live shows recorded three years earlier by Bear at the Fillmore East in New York City, Bears Choice captures the Dead at an essential moment of their history, as they were about to record Workingmans Dead and shortly thereafter, American Beauty, and were transitioning into becoming Americana pioneers, while never losing touch with their psychedelic improvisational roots. Three of the eight songs on the album are sung by Pigpen, with Side 1 being the definitive example of early Acoustic Dead, and Side 2 being electric blues and rock amp roll, with Pigpen leading the charge on both tracks on the second side. This has been re mastered by David Glasser using Plangent Processes from the original analog 2track tapes recorded live by Bear and has never sounded better.
