Grateful Dead

Very nice :o

still have not ordered. Waiting for a revision of details

I appreciate you posting all this info. And the collector in me was drooling over that scrapbook you posted on line. A lot of those singles look to be very rare indeed. I am guessing that many of those song releases had to be edited somewhat just to fit on a 45. What a collection you have. I feel a lot better about this subscription now. Very much looking forward to it

Stealin' (2:32) / Don't Ease Me In (2:00) - The Grateful Dead (Scorpio 201) Released in June, 1966 (possibly July, 1996) on Gene Estribou's Scorpio Records. Estribou's studio was located on the fifth floor of 737 Buena Vista West, south of the Panhandle, and west of the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco. The label has black lettered text on a red label. The "Stealin'" side is cataloged as "003/201" and the "Don't Ease Me In" side is "002/201". This was the Dead's first recording contract. Both "Don't Ease Me In" and "Stealin'" are credited to Garcia. The original run was about 250 singles. It was recalled soon after release, possibly because the band did not like the tracks. Pressed around the hole are a flowing-script handwritten "Commercial Recorders Inc.", lock-lettered hand-printed matrix numbers "002/201" and "003/210" (on the corresponding sides), the full song titles for each side, and a handwritten symbol that resembles two "SS" with an "L" through them. On the "Don't Ease Me In" side, the ratio between grooves and wax is about even. The recording sessions probably took place on May 29, 1966, after the band's appearance at California Hall. Also recorded during these sessions were takes of "Stealin'" (instrumental and vocals), "Don't Ease Me In" (instrumental and vocals), "You Don't Have To Ask" (vocals), "Tastebud" (instrumental and vocals), "I Know You Rider" (vocals), and "Cold Rain And Snow" (instrumental and vocals). These have been released on "The Golden Road" box set. Stealin' (2:32) / Don't Ease Me In (2:00) - The Grateful Dead (Scorpio 201) The single was bootlegged in the mid-1970s. These bootlegged versions do not have the flowing-script handwritten "Commercial Recorders Inc." text in the runout area. They only have the song titles and matrix numbers.

I loved the video and it made me want to add these to my collection of over 150 unique Dead related 45's. Here is one way to see most of my collection. I made an illustrated Discography as a self published coffee table book. http://www.blurb.com/books/2920622-illustrated-discography-and-memorabi… looks best full screen. Here is a rudimentary version http://lonestardeadradio.com/vinyl.htm with that many records (many purchased by "sealed bid" from Goldmine Magazine ads in the 80s/90s How could i not add these 27 more records?? Some of my records became "Grateful 45s t shirts" a few years ago, officially licensed even :)

and i should mention it was an honor, over the years, to help update this AMAZING PIECE OF WORK by Ihor Slabicky which includes an incredible Singles Discography https://www.skepticfiles.org/en003/gdeaddis.htm always fun to find Truckin' from the Phillipines or Touch of Grey from Brazil or here at this link AMAAAAZING https://tcgdd.freeyellow.com/tcgdd.txt

Dave not trying to be a wise guy but Dark Star/Born Cross eyed , u.S. Blues/ Loose Lucy and Throwing Stones/When Push Comes to Shove were picture sleeves. The thing is when a record company decided to put out a picture sleeve it was often a 1st and only run. The other thing was for many releases in Europe they did picture sleeves. That was not the case with the above 3 all were printed in the U S. Keep hunting that's the biggest part of the fun

"Stealin" "Don't Ease Me In" Cover art is fantastic Favorite 7 inch GD cover art is "US Blues" / "Loose Lucy" , but this series may provide a new one Really sweet to get 4 artists per year

Sorry Dave Alabama get away was a picture sleeve

I couldn't agree more
