Background on these LPs:
These 2 LPs were release without explicit permission from the Dead.
Producer Robert Cohen (a bit more on Mr. Cohen here:
http://www.lumiereprod.com/history.html) got the masters from recordings
made at the Avalon, adding applause and other sounds where needed to help
the flow (there is a bit of audio, a small segment with some mostly
inaudible band chatter, which was added to "extend" tracks so they
wouldn't end so abruptly. The same segment used in a couple of different
spots, once as a loop that repeats 2-3 times). Some of the songs have cut
intros, but are segued with applause anyway. These are pretty much
bootleg quality from today's perspective, and frankly most interest in
these LPs is because of their status as collectibles rather than being
worthwhile musically. But fans of the early days will especially enjoy
the lengthy workouts of "Midnight Hour", "The Same Thing" and "Good
Morning Little Schoolgirl".

Footnote: An LP released in 1973, "The History Of The Grateful Dead"
(Pride/MGM PRD-0016), compiled the following tracks from the Sunflower
LPs: Dancin' In The Street, It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, I Know You
Rider, In The Midnight Hour, It Hurts Me Too, Lindy and Stealin'. There
was also an official release on Warners released in 1973 with virtually
the same title (subtitled "Bear's Choice", as we all know), so the Pride
LP couldn't have been very welcome at that time.
