For him and his many performing groups, it's safe to say that stepping onto stage most nights of the week represented the absolute opposite of record consciousness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe double A-sided single was a phenomenon that began in the late 1940s and \u003cem\u003eHeads \u0026amp; Tails\u003c\/em\u003e brings it into the new LP era. All sides are equal, just the jams, with the art designed to be completely flippable. Turn it backwards (and upside down) and its got a whole new cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHeads \u0026amp; Tails: Volume 1\u003c\/i\u003e is pressed on cloudy blue vinyl with art by Madalyn Stefanak, bringing music from 1988 and 1972 (or is that 1972 and 1988?). From January 19th, 1972 in San Anselmo comes a side-long \"Save Mother Earth\" with Merl Saunders, featuring guest Paul Butterfield on harmonica. And from February 5th, 1988 in Santa Rosa comes the classic Jerry Garcia Band lineup, laying into their jam standard \"Don't Let Go\" and a version of \"Think.\" They're two very different eras in Garcia's music, slivers of accidental record consciousness connected in spirit and now by side-flip, as well, on a turntable near you.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeads:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJerry Garcia \u0026amp; Merl Saunders\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 19, 1972 @ Lion's Share San Anselmo, CA\u003cbr\u003e1.
