Whereas\u003cem\u003e Live\/Dead\u003c\/em\u003e was a perfect sonic encapsulation of the band at the peak of their primal Dead era, \u003cem\u003eSkull \u0026amp; Roses\u003c\/em\u003e captures the quintessential quintet, the original five piece band, playing some of their hardest hitting rock 'n' roll (\"Johnny B. Goode,\" \"Not Fade Away\"), showing off their authentic Bakersfield bona fides (\"Me \u0026amp; My Uncle,\" \"Mama Tried,\" \"Me \u0026amp; Bobby McGee\"), and some originals that would be important parts of the Dead's live repertoire for the next 24 years (\"Bertha,\" \"Playing In The Band,\" \"Wharf Rat\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Of course, the Dead were never defined by one specific ‘sound' and amongst the aforementioned genres and styles the band brought to this album, they also delved deeply into their psychedelic, primal playbook with an entire side dedicated to their 1968 masterpiece \"The Other One.\" This is one of the most deeply rich and satisfying tracks preserved on an official Grateful Dead album, up there with\u003cem\u003e Live\/Dead's\u003c\/em\u003e \"Dark Star\" and\u003cem\u003e Europe '72's\u003c\/em\u003e \"Morning Dew.\" \u003cem\u003eSkull \u0026amp; Roses\u003c\/em\u003e sounds as fresh today as the first time I heard it in 1985, and as fresh as it was upon its spectacularly well-received release in 1971.\" - David Lemieux\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only did \u003cem\u003eSkull \u0026amp; Roses\u003c\/em\u003e serve up supremely fine tunes, it was also the one that scored the Grateful Dead their very first Gold record, introduced the world to the iconic skeleton babe Bertha, and asked the questions - Who are you? Where are you? How are you? - giving birth to the first official generation of Dead Heads. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021, the album has been newly remastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer, David Glasser using Plangent Process speed correction and comes pressed on 180g vinyl 2LP with Tip-On jacket packaging and sticker insert.
