Esau Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 From : http://www.deadbase.com forum section. Here are the details of the Jerry Garcia box set. Release date unconfirmed. (Rumored to be april 2004) The complete Jerry Garcia studio retrospective! 6-CD boxed set featuring all 5 original solo albums, plus 4 hours of previously unreleased studio material, and a dynamic 100-page book with new comprehensive liner notes, photos, lyrics, and foreword by Robert Hunter. ALBUM FACTS: 1972's classic LP 'Garcia' -his solo debut--exclusively features co-writes by Jerry, Dead percussionist Bill Kreutzmann, and famed Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, including "Sugaree," "To Lay Me Down," and "The Wheel." Now expanded with 8 previously unreleased outtakes from the original album sessions. - Originally released in '74, Garcia (Compliments) features Jerry's interpretations of immortal songs by Van Morrison, Dr. John, The Stones, Chuck Berry, Smoky Robinson & more. Now features 10 additional tracks from the Compliments sessions-all previously unissued-including Holland-Dozier-Holland's "(I'm A) Road Runner" and "Lonesome Town.". - 1976's inspired 'Reflections' was split between a handful of covers featuring the Jerry Garcia Band, and a pack of Dead-backed (Weir, Hart, Lesh, Kreutzmann and more were on hand), Garcia/Hunter-penned tunes including the masterful "Comes A Time." Now boasts 5 bonus tracks including the JGB's "Mystery Train" studio jam, and the Dead reveling in an 18-minute+ take on "Orpheus." - 1978's 'Cats Under The Stars' was the first to officially acknowledge the Jerry Garcia Band by name, and features original compositions by JGB's John Kahn as well as a spate of Garcia-Hunter gems. Now with 7 previously unissued extras including an alternate take of "Palm Sunday," and a rehearsal version of "Down Home." - Divided between originals by various configurations of Garcia, Hunter and Kahn-including the extraordinary "Midnight Getaway"-and choice covers including "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"- 1982's 'Run For The Roses' was Garcia's final solo LP. Now expanded with 6 previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions including two more Dylan classics, "Tangled Up In Blue" and "Simple Twist Of Fate." - ‘All Good Things' sixth disc-"Outtakes, Jams & Alternates"--is a bonus bonanza of 13 previously unreleased rarities including an acoustic version of "Lonesome Town," an "Iko Iko" studio jam, a "Hey Bo Diddley/Hide Away" medley, and much more!

boogieknight Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Damn I hate bonus material. always poses the question of replacing orginal disc with bonus added ones. Being a music junkie can get expensive They should issue some of those legions of mary shows. That is some tasty music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I hear that BK! Legions of Mary is the very best. This box set sounds like a dream. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau Posted February 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Yeah I hear ya Jes, I was sorta hoping for some live stuff,but I guess thats all available out there anyway,some Legion would kickass.Would of been sorta sweet to get some of RH's personal recordings of Jerry & him..but this is still somthing I will end up getting without a doubt. I look forward to it either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 I was under the impression we werent going to see the re-release of his studio work? Oh well, take me money anyways............... By the way, Grisman's label is releasing a new Garcia-Grisman cd in April as well. I am all over that one like Davey-Boy on a Dirienzo's sandwich.

kung Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Isn't 'Hey Bo Diddley' a Ronnie Hawkins tune or did he just cover it? I was always under the impression that Mary Lou and that were his two well known tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hux Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 hmmmmm.....this is all studio stuff eh? In that case hopefully for the listeners benefit the box-set will include some of the same stuff Jerry used to stay awake while making these bad boys!

Rob Not Bob Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 In spite of the writng credits, I am pretty sure that Hey Bo Diddley was originally recorded by Mr. Diddley himself. A shiny new penny to whoever gets that reference ... RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Garcia, Reflections, Cats Under The Stars are all great albums. Haven't heard the other two. I hope this set is at least in the price range of the savable. Otherwise, more proof that Grateful Dead vaultkeepers hate me. RnB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
