Description

New Vinyl Record -Garcia, Jerry / Saunders, Merl – Heads & Tails Vol. 1

The first installment of a new LP archival series,Heads & Tailsis designed to showcase exciting, unheard performances that each fit onto the single side of a record, paired with evocative and detailed album art thats fun to swim inside.

Heads & Tails: Volume 1is pressed on cloudy blue vinyl with art by Madalyn Stefanak, bringing music from 1988 and 1972 (or is that 1972 and 1988?). From January 19th, 1972 in San Anselmo comes a side-long Save Mother Earth with Merl Saunders, featuring guest Paul Butterfield on harmonica. And from February 5th, 1988 in Santa Rosa comes the classic Jerry Garcia Band lineup, laying into their jam standard Dont Let Go and a version of Think. Theyre two very different eras in Garcias music, slivers of accidental record consciousness connected in spirit and now by side-flip, as well, on a turntable near you.
