Anthem Of The Sun - Vinyl, CD

The Grateful Dead: Anthem Of The Sun versie op vinyl LP in remastered editie. Deze specifieke uitgave werd uitgebracht in VS bij uitgeverij Warner Records in samenwerking met Rhino Records (2) op 4. juni 2021.

The Grateful Dead first came to prominence in the late 1960s as San Francisco's premier psychedelic band. The original line-up consisted of Jerry Garcia (guitar), Phil Lesh (bass), Ron "Pigpen" McKernan (keyboards), Bob Weir (guitar) and Bill Kreutzmann (drums). The band's debut album, released in 1967, was recorded in three days. The follow-up album, 1968's Anthem of the Sun, was six months in the making. The group recruited two new members to the project: drummer Mickey Hart and keyboardist Tom Constanten. Recording began in Los Angeles and later moved to New York, where the group experimented with producer Dave Hassinger and combined concert recordings with studio sessions. Live material was recorded in early 1968 during a tour of the Pacific Northwest. On some tracks, notably "That's It For The Other One", overlays of several concert performances were blended together to create a multi-dimensional set of songs. The second side of the album contained two live hits, "Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks)" and "Alligator". Anthem of the Sun was composed entirely by the Grateful Dead and included a variety of other instruments such as kazoo, vibraslap, celesta claves, harpsichord, prepared piano, and electronic tape.

Album valt binnen het genre Rock en Psychedelische rock. 180g Remastered 1971 Remix Vinyl.
