True Confessions in Hartford

In November 1977 and January 1978, Relix published a two-part interview with Garcia. I am looking for copies of these interviews. Anyone got ’em? Your list gets mine.


Hall, John. 1977, 1978. Jerry Garcia: True Confessions in
Hartford, parts 1 and 2. Relix vol 4, n.6 (November 1977), pp. 20-24 and
January 1978.


While I am at it, I have a long list of sources I am looking for, which follows the jump.

Update:

RoG and LIA have both provided tons of help – thanks gents!

Let me here just ask about a few particular publications.

The Aquarian – anyone familiar with this? Looks like a New Jersey alt-weekly, around since 1969. There must be some Dead and Jerry content in there.

Good Times – this is the Long Island entertainment paper, not the San Francisco Good Times (counterculture newspaper). The New York version looks very promising from the two pieces I list below, both ex post accounts or reviews of Garcia shows. Looks like it has been around since 1970. I’d love to gain access to a trove of these, older than what I find online.
