Grateful Dead Mix CD

"My first real introduction to the Grateful Dead, from a Deadhead as opposed to the radio, was the songs on this compilation...Before I got heavy into collecting live shows I played this tape over and over...in my car, at parties, in my basement bedroom...The old beat up TDK tape is lost to antiquity but I still have the cover so was able to put it back together for this mix...Whether or not this is even a good beginner's guide to the band's various studio albums isn't really the point of this post...I've been in a melancholy frame of mind lately and this tape transports me to fall of 1985 - maybe not the most interesting destination to set the time machine to but there sure was some fun involved!"

- from the original post that accompanied this mix on one of my other blogs, burningdervish.com, which just so happens to be celebrating its two-year anniversary today...
