Digitally remastered by Joe Gastwirt using the Sonic Solution NoNoise System. This pleasant collection of songs assembled in 1974 is subtitled "The Best of," which is a somewhat amusing notion to hardcore fans for several reasons. First, the Grateful Dead created an extensive song repertoire, and singling out any 11 cuts is an exercise in arbitrary selection. Second, the Dead were a live band, and only two songs from SKELETONS FROM THE CLOSET are culled from concert recordings--"One More Saturday Night" and "Turn on Your Love Light." Lastly, this album rests on the considerable strength of six of the Grateful Dead's most recognized songs--"Truckin'," "Casey Jones," "Friend of the Devil," "Uncle John's Band," "Sugar Magnolia" and "St. Stephen"--songs that intermediate and beginner fans will insist upon owning, but that serious Deadheads will consider too obvious. Still, if one will only own one Grateful Dead CD, SKELETONS FROM THE CLOSET is a tidy way to go.   Compilation Appearances Fillmore-Last Days Great Expectations Around The Fire Joel Whitburn Presents: billboard #1' 60's Rock Experience Casey Kasem: 80s Rocks Greatest Hits / Variou Ladder To The Stars: Garcia Plays Dylan Guitar Rock: Rock Classic 70s / Various I Walk The Line: An All-star Tribute To Johnn Greetings From The West Coast Woodstock - 40 Years on: Back to Yasgur's Farm Limited Edition Boxset Taking Woodstock   Associated Artists and Works Artists, Various The Music Never Stopped: Roots Of The Grateful... ~ Artists, Various Artists, Various Artists, Various Artists, Various Long Strange Trip: Pickin' On The Dead... ~ Artists, Various Artists, Various Electronic Tribute To The Grateful Dead ~ Artists, Various Billy & Terry Smith Billy Smith Dylan, Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan, Bob Dylan & The Dead [Digipak] ~ Dylan, Bob Gallant, Joe Gallant, Joe Gallant, Joe & Illuminati Gallant, Joe & Illuminati Illuminati (Jazz) Blue Light Rain ~ Jazz Is Dead Joe Gallant & Illuminati Joe Gallant & Illuminati John Oswald/Grateful Dead John Oswald/Grateful Dead John Oswald/Grateful Dead Murray, David Murray, David (Jazz) Murray, David (sax) Murray, David (Saxophone) Pickin' on the Grateful Dead: A Tribute ~ On, Pickin' Pickin' on the Grateful Dead: A Tribute ~ On, Pickin' The Grateful Dead Movie Soundtrack [Box] ~ Original Soundtrack Oswald, John Oswald, John Pickin' On The Grateful Dead ~ Pickin' On Various Artists The Music Never Stopped: Roots Of The Grateful Dea ~ Various Artists Various Artists Various Artists Long Strange Trip: Swingin' And Pickin' On The Gra ~ Various Artists Various Artists Electronic Tribute To The Grateful Dead ~ Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 10/11/1988 Original Release Date : 1974 Catalog ID : 2764 Label : Warner Bros.
