Vinyl Me Please Anthology

I got drunk last night and was spinning some of my Herbie records, and I almost....ALMOST... bought the Anthology. I figured, “It‘s silly expensive, but he’s easily one of my top 10 favorite artists of all time. The only duplicate I’d have is Headhunters, and I can just tell the wife that this is will be the only Christmas gift I get this year from her.“

I realized that I should probably wait till the morning when I’ve sobered up. Now I’m seeing it’s delayed. Is it a sign I should hold off? Idk, I’m still really on the fence.

It was a sign you should've drunkenly bought it last night so you would have scored that sweet, sweet $15 in store credit today.
 
Just wrapped up the Anthology today and gotta say this was my favorite so far, which Im shocked about since it was the one I was closest to skipping.
Loved every album, the podcasts themselves, and the quality of every record was A+ (I'm either lucky or my ears are trash).

Another hopefully forgivable thread hijack: I now own WD, AB and Europe '72. These are all great, but where do I go next to get the actual psychedelia? I am easily amused, so I want the most bombastic shit possible.

For my money, do not pass go, do not pay 200$, go straight to live dead, "one from the vault" is my personal favorite.

If you absolutely must do studio dead, aoxaomoaxoa or anthem of the sun are more psychedelic. Mars hotel and blues for Allah are psychedelic but more jazzy.

Alt recommendation: Google the 30 days of dead comps they do every year (every November they release a song per day for free download) and check those out. Since they're songs from their live shows but from whenever, you get to hop around and see what you like. They're a markedly different band depending on the year; '72 dead and '74 dead and '77 dead are not the same guys.
 
I've been on such a Grateful Dead binge lately after almost all but writing them off (proof that the VMP definitely had a target audience, not a 6k+ target audience, but definitely a target audience...).

I've picked up the 3 recent Rhino reissues and Filmore West from the last Target sale. Grateful Dead Records Collection and Buffalo 5/9/77 from Record Shops, and Skull N Roses Mofi from Musicdirect.

Between that and Apple Music I think Im good for AWHILE, but really loving this late exploration. I know I slept on this for awhile, but it's pretty great getting to discover all this music *relatively* late.
