The Grateful Dead - Mega-rare restored LP "Living On The Edge" - Mickey Hart and the Hartbeats Matrix 1968-10-8, 10-30, incredible soundboard THANKS LL

It has been said that Todd Rundgren went to the Guinness Book Of Records in order to secure the spot for the longest-playing vinyl album. Well, I'm happy to say he's been surpassed... by a bootleg. Sweet justice, it's DA DEAD (actually Mickey Hart and the Hartbeats)! Three of the four sides here top 41 minutes. Each that is, giving new meaning to the words "Long Playing Record". You will need to make extra space for this one. In fact, you might want to use a separate CD for each side. More on that in a moment.

First of all I want to thank LL member Andy1099 for shipping me these LPs all the way across the pond. I've been wanting to hear them for the longest time. This album is labeled "Mickey Hart And The Heart Beats (Grateful Dead) Living On The Edge 1968 California". It consists of two different sets from when the Dead were very young. The sound quality is amazingly good considering the length of the record sides. Lots and lots of jamming here, from when they were young.
So with all of that in mind and due to the extreme length of this album as a whole, I've given each side its own directory folder and have only generally broken the songs up.
