Notes:
- Tracks 5-8 Are The Same Material With EQ and Dolby A

@@ Tastebud is the same version as present on
The Golden Road (box set) version of The Grateful Dead
(first album). The speed is (only very slightly)
different, with these versions running to about 4:19,
with The Golden Road/bonus version clocking in at
around 4:17 - including a 3 second lead-in not present
on these versions). In other words, these versions
are around 2% slow.

## There is a cut at 1:14 of (both versions of) Ripple.
The same recording is found without the cut, and in
better quality (but still far from perfect) on The
Unsurpassed Dead Demos bootleg. There is also a speed
difference, with this version running around 3% slower.

++ Mason's Children: This is the version found on So
Many Roads (box set) disc 1 track 10. However the version
on the box set is (as the liner notes indicate) "slightly"
edited - there are in fact 35 seconds missing removed at
the 1:53 mark. Again, a speed difference with this version
running around 2% slower. The box set version also has some
laughter at the beginning, and a slightly extended ending.
The extra 35 seconds on this version were to have been
overdubbed with a Jerry solo. Another version of this
recording is found on the Unsurpassed Dead Demos bootleg,
which runs another 1% slower.

^^ Uncle John's Band: A truncated version of this recording
is found on the Unsurpassed Dead Demos bootleg. The bootleg
version is brighter, hissier, and cuts at 4:09 (losing the
accapella finish). This version runs more like 1% slower
than the bootleg version.

$$ Radio Advertisment. This is a DIFFEERENT advertisment to
the one included at the end of the remastered Workingman's
Dead in The Golden Road (box set). It does use the same
theme, however - "Steal It".

Summary:

Quality is a little ropey, but the Mason's Children has a
middle section not avilable elsewhere. The other tracks
are either available commercially, or in arguably better
quality on The Unsurpassed Dead Demos bootleg, with the
exception of the Radio Advertisment.
