50th Anniversary 180g Vinyl LP!
Remastered by David Glasser with Plangent Processes Tape Restoration & Speed Correction!
Analog Planet Rated 9/10 Music, 8/10 Sound!
Rhino's seventh installment of 50th Anniversary Studio Releases for Grateful Dead. From the Mars Hotel is the seventh album and second released on the Dead's own label, Grateful Dead Records.
The 50th Anniversary Remaster vinyl is remastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer David Glasser, with Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction and Produced for Release by David Lemieux.
From The Mars Hotel is home to many beloved, now-iconic tunes, as well as under-the-radar gems that the hippest of Deadheads consider peak-period jams. This new LP generally sounds wonderful with much interesting — even exciting — fresh detailing newly apparent. Remember, this is not a remix, but a remaster and restoration. Overall, the music sounds tighter and more stable in a way that was never quite fully apparent until you hear this new edition. We are also no doubt getting to hear more of the music as it was recorded, which was inevitably compressed for mid-'70s average record players back in the day. If, like me, you have an older, original pressing you've never been totally satisfied with, this new edition of From The Mars Hotel goes a long way to improving that viewpoint.
