Grateful Dead (1967)
I am listening to the Rhino remaster of this, and it sounds great. I don’t revisit this record that often, but despite the autocritiques of everyone involved, to my ears it sounds totally vital.

Elves, Gnomes, Leprechauns and Little People’s Chowder and Marching Society Volunteer Fire Brigade and Ladies Auxiliary String Band
I cannot make any representation for the accuracy of any of this. It’s a fascinating piece, of course. Dister was a famous French rock journalist (wiki) who spent ca. 1966-early 1968 in San Francisco, apparently spending a ton of time with the Dead, if the narratives are to be believed. I am sure it is…
