American Beauty
Allmusic and Robert Chritgau both gave it high marks (5/5 and A-) and I agree with this assessment. American Beauty being Grateful Dead's 5th studio album and their 1970 album is verily an amazing record with great lyrics to go. The booklet is unfortunately very sparse and contains no lyrics but one does get a list of what instruments they play on the album. We also get liner notes that talk about history of the Grateful Dead up to that point. 5/5.


Simply Put....
I can listen to it no matter my mood, time of day, day of the week, year etc. This is my favorite album of all time. It sounds just as great today as it did the day it was released. I have owned it in every format: 8 track, cassette, vinyl, CD, and now MP3. And I will buy it again in whatever the next technology may be. .


AmericanBeauty my review
Till the morning comes is catchy. American Beauty is great, the harmonies, music, lyrics and feel make this one of the best of its time Attics of my life is beautiful, the guitar on the live version of Truckin is powerful live guitar. .


great sound, got it from a great vendor
well worth the research, the sound is phenomenal! i'm usually a bit leery of going through secondary vendors on amazon. I searched around for awhile to find this, and finally did on here through rockaway records. com, but rockaway records could not have been better. the post office took awhile getting my package here (christmas time), but rockaway records were very responsive to the issue and even offered to send another copy if the post office flailed! customer service you do not see very often anymore. HIGHLY recommend these guys!.


Beauty Is A Real Gem
This Grateful Dead remastered classic is essential,containing sixteen tracks,ten of the original 1970 album,the last six are live versions of,Truckin,Friend Of The Devil,Til The Morning Comes,also including a single version of Truckin'. What makes this masterpiece speak for itself is the main ingredient none other than the tight harmonies flowing throughout this entire recording,infested with strong lyrics,a prime example,Attics Of My Life,flowing like a fine wine remenisant of the classic Beatles,Sun king,and classic is as classic does in Jerry Garcia's signature tune,Ripple,and other notable tunes such as,Sugar Magnolia,and Operator,the instrumentation is subdued on this album leaving the vocals standing out painting a visual in the listeners mind. An American beauty. .
