[net.music.gdead] Dead on CD

cliff@unmvax.UUCP (04/15/85)

For a while the only Dead disk that I could find was "Terrapin Station."
A few days ago I bought "Go To Heaven" (you know, the theme album about
a Fortran Programmer's death) and "Shakedown Street."  Shakedown has
"Antwerp's Placebo" on it, which drives dogs wild when played *real*
loud (try it).  Are there any others out there?  I'd really like to get
"Dead Set" and "Reckoning" on it (of course I'd also like "Anthem of the Sun"
and all the rest).

Does anyone know whether there next album will be the last they have to do
with Arista?

So far, the only CD's in evidence here have been the three that Cliff has
mentioned (Terrapin, Shakedown, Heaven) - notably, all Arista releases,
right?

> Does anyone know whether there next album will be the last they have to do

I saw an interview a while back (perhaps 6 mo?) which quoted Garcia as
saying that they were contractually obliged to do just one more album for
Arista; also that they hadn't been too happy with Arista and that was one
of the reasons that there hadn't been an album for some time.

Also speaking of Arista, does anyone know what the deal is with Reckoning?
It seems to have vanished, but then something called "For the Faithful" (or
some such title) appeared in a few places, with the same set of songs as on
"Reckoning".  It's as if the album was re-released with a different title
and cover.  The logic, let alone the economics, of such a move escapes me.
Curiously, Dead Set (which is really a companion to Reckoning) seems to
have suffered no comparable fate.

  According to Dead Relix Magazine, Reckoning is no longer being pressed by
Arista (neither is Run for the Roses nor Bobby and the Midnights). But they
say they've got them. Even if you aren't interested in ordering albums, you
should check out this Dead-devoted magazine. It has been around for years.

  I'm not trying to sell anyone on this rag, but it does have some fun and
interesting things in it.

What other Dead stuff is available on CD?  I've seen Terrapin Station and
Shakedown Street.  Is there anything else?

Go To Heaven is also available on CD. I haven't bought it,
so I don't know how good it is.
