Brian's Notes
------------------------------------
Grateful Dead
Anthem of the Sun Studio Sessions
Exact date(s) unknown
(11/03/67 was written on one CDR)
6 CDR's total


Studio Reels ＞ ?? ＞ CDR's ＞ CD Burner ＞ Roxio Sound Editor ＞ .wav ＞ flac16


These CDR's came to me anonymously and supposedly were discussed as possible bonus material from GDP. There were some Pacific Northwest live tracks that I chose to leave out because they are already released as
bonus material on the Road Trips Vol. 2 No. 2 double CD release and the bonus disc. For the studio stuff I turned each disc into one .wav file each, retracked and did lots of editing - took out all the repeated sections (I hope!) and fixed some zips and zaps and dropouts - all done using Roxio Sound Editor (2009).

Really great to hear all the banter and it shows rather clearly how hard the band actually worked in the studio, especially being the high pranksters they were. ;)

A Big Thanks to Lossless Legs member Simon (simond9X) for the great mapping of what needed to be corrected from the original seed - thanks buddy! Enjoy! - Brian Flegel - 03/25/2024, 07/15/2024 & 07/21/2024
