	Hey man, Bear just released a 19 CD set with every version
	of "Dark Star -> St. Steven" the Dead ever played, complete 
	with indexing to the lyrical parts.  Sound quality varies
	to Edison wax-cylinder recorder smuggled into  mens-room to 
	Nagra to Nak to digital soundboard.

	rumored to be released next: every version of "Truckin",
	"US Blues", "Looks Like Rain", "Sugaree", "Brokedown Palace",
	and "Candyman" with  BLOWN LYRICS!!!  Look for it on the
	"Hippie-Tones" label...

    Really!   I thought the newest release was "Super Space, music
    for the Orb"!   This specially priced CD set contains 4 1/2 
    solid hours of post-drums space!!  Warning: Only for the colorful
    at heart!   ;-)
    
    

	yes, and I heard that it will include a special free offer for mail 
	order Electric Orbs.  You have to include 300 JerryFlakes 
	box-tops and a Xerox copy of all 10 of your New Years Eve GD ticket
	stubs, 1970-1986.  Or, you can send in your right-hand middle finger.

    Thanks.  I hope you comedians don't starve.

    In all seriousness, I know Jerry Garcia had mentioned that he'd
    like to remaster Workingman's Dead and American Beauty for release
    on CD. I'm sure it will happen some day, but I don't think its in
    the planning stages yet. 
    
    As for the other Dead CDs released  by Arista, I'm still convinced
    they're doing it to recover lost monies due to them from lack of
    new albums from their contracted band (the Dead). They know Deadheads
    will buy anything with a Dead logo on the cover (true isn't it!).
    Besides the Dead CDs they've put out are some of the longest playing pop
    CDs in the market with the shortest liner notes in history. Seems
    to me there wasn't much effort at all on the part of Arista when
    they released them.

    While you're waiting for real Dead discs, you might be
    interested in a Robert Hunter solo CD --- the title of
    which I forget --- from Relix Records (who's also, as I
    mentioned in the "Blues" note, issued HOT TUNA LIVE and
    a Jorma Kaukonen disc).
    
    Since I don't follow the Dead conference, anyone who does
    should feel free to re-post this there.

    Here are some more Dead disks that have appeared in the last couple
    of months:
    
    In the Dark (naturally)
    Skeleton and Roses 
    The first album
    Anthem of the Sun (my favorite)
    Aoxomoxoa
    
    I just got a merchandise form with my Providence tickets and you
    can order the following CDs through them:
    
    Wake of the Flood
    Mars Hotel
    
    Enjoy!

I just bought 

	Workingman's Dead	and 	  American Beauty

last night at Lechemere's in Nashua NH.  On sale at 20% off puts them at $12 
each!

						     Happy at last

	I did a quick scan of this note and don't think I saw 
	"Blues for Allah" mentioned (except that .0 would like
	to find it).   It's available but may only be so from Grateful
	Dead Merchandising.  Anyone seen one in stores in Southern
	NH?  Same for "Mars Hotel"...everytime I get to Rockit Records
	they only have the LP.

	Someone (JerryB?) mentioned Relix a few replies earlier:
	They have a couple of Hunter disks, Rock Columbia included.
	
	They've re-released Mickey Hart's "Rolling Thunder".
	
	They've re-released Jorma Kaukonen's "Quah"!!!!	  

	I'm already broke so what's a few dollars more,

    I have seen "Mars Hotel" in a couple of MA stores.  It is harder
    to find no doubt because it is on Mobile Fidelity.
    
    Noticed that the WB CDs are labeled "approved by the Grateful Dead",
    i.e. they approve of the sound, I guess.

    Lechmere in Pheasant Lane Mall, Nashua NH had dozens of copies
    of Mars Hotel last week, and they seem to keep it (and other Dead
    CDs) in pretty good stock.
    

	Re: the last 2 replies about Mars Hotel.

	I think I'm about to break into my piggy bank.  Thanks for
	the pointers!!

	thanks again,
	bob

    I forgot to mention this in .11, but Warner is one of the labels
    included in Lechmere's 20% off sale this week.  I just came back
    from the Nashua NH store and they had at least 30 of every Dead
    CD that's been released.  With the sale, the cost is about $12
    per disc.  My piggy bank is broken now, too...

    Another source to check for Dead-related CDs is Relix magazine.
    You can pick this up at Rockit Records. They carry all the Hunter,
    NRPS, and Jorma CDs, and I believe For the Faithful.
    
    I talked to a CD/record distributor about a week ago and he said
    that Warner planned to release the rest of the Dead's Warner catalog
    by the end of the year. Take it for what it's worth but I can't
    wait to hear "Dark Star" on CD!

    
    Just stopped in my local record emporium and saw a new stocking
    stuffer from Arista...namely the six CDs *already* available from
    Arista as a box set for about $75. 
    
    Oh, you get a poster, too.
    
    But all real Deadheads already have all six, right????
                                                                    
    Merry Christmas, everybody!!!
