There has never been a more precise title. Rare and odd, indeed – there will never be another Grateful Dead CD with 18 full cuts. It’s a long, long way to "Dark Star" thunder and lightning.

These are the earliest indications of what this band would grow into, but these songs make a fascinating album of early days musical snapshots, collected from various rehearsals and studio sessions (the first 10 songs) and live shows (the last eight songs). Featuring, amongst many other gems, Garcia singing lead on "Promised Land," a completely different arrangement of "Cream Puff War," and the the only known version of the Rolling Stones’ "Empty Heart."
