Grateful Dead
"Mountains of the Moon" - Aoxomoxoa Outakes (Alternate version)
Studio Recording, 1969

Source: Vinyl > cassette > MOTU 896HD > WAV > FLAC

Unfortunately, I don't have too much information on this version of studio outtakes from the Aoxomoxoa sessions. What I do know is that I received a cassette recording around 1987 from a friend who had this on vinyl. The title of it was "Mountains of the Moon." Most of the tracks are the same as other versions that I've seen circulated on the Internet Archive, however there are a few differences:

-Rosemary, What's Become of the Baby, and the Instrumental Jam are missing
-There's only one version of Doin' That Rag, as opposed to two
-There are additional studio tracks on the lp, but it appears they may have been officially released on the Golden Road boxed set, so they have been removed.
-There was a question regarding The Eleven being the officially released studio version on the boxed set. I verified that they are in fact different
-I've seen the date listed as 12-31-1969 for Aoxomoxoa outtakes, but I don't believe this is true since the LP was released in June 1969.

This is an interesting recording and has some enjoyable moments. The quality is marginal. Not as hissy as other versions that I've heard, but there are lots of pops and cracks. Hope this helps. Enjoy.
