Product Description

Another seminal masterpiece, the 1970 classic featuring many of the Dead's best-known songs - "Sugar Magnolia" and "Friend Of The Devil" among others - now has 6 extra tracks, including the single version of "Truckin'", the first electric recording of "Candyman," and one of the few live performances of "Till The Morning Comes."

Amazon.com

Who says discipline is a bad thing? No one who's heard American Beauty, the Dead's greatest studio achievement. Showcasing 10 concise, country-rooted gems that sound equally good whether you're hanging on the front porch in the afternoon or nursing a bottle after hours, this one could win over many an anti-Jerry. Bewildered by loss both personal and social--the hippie dream was quickly crashing by Beauty's 1970 release date--the band put its querulousness ("Box of Rain") and wry humor ("Truckin'") into the service of a masterwork. The most impressive cut of all may be "Ripple," Garcia's spiritual credo. --Rickey Wright

It even surprises me how much I enjoy this album

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

I'm not a fan of the dead or any other jam stuff. It even surprises me how much I enjoy this album. It's absolutely perfect for a burnt out lazy Sunday afternoon when you don't want to get up from your comfy chair. I'm normally a metalhead or an underground hiphop guy, but for whatever reason this tickles some part of my brain that I can appreciate. I found that I already knew most of the songs as they played, and the ones I didn't know start to finish I knew some of.

Certainly a bizarre anomaly in my collection, but one that I like just as much as the rest!

I won't bother getting into the music, since everyone already knows about the album. I will say, that this is a good rerelease/pressing, as good as the MoFi version from the 70's.

Sounds Like I Upgraded My System

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

One of my favorite Dead albums since I first became a dead head in the 80's. I actually had to return the first copy they shipped me because of a damaged cover but the replacement arrived much quicker than the anticipated date. The sound quality is exquisite. The depth of the soundstage and separation of the individual instruments and harmonies incredible. I have a few 2 disc 45 rpm albums, but this is even better than the amazing sound they offer. Worth every penny of the expensive price tag.

Great album with amazing chemistry from the Dead

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great expanded album, fantastic price!! Comes with bonus songs. All of which are great. Really love this album. This is easily one of their top albums next to workingmans dead and shakedown street. Highly recommend this item to anyone trying to get into the Grateful Dead. Great chemistry between the band on the studio and live tracks. Happy they included live version of attics of my life (one of my favorite songs by the Dead) and candyman. Overall I am very happy with the purchase.

Packaging and design is top quality. The record plays nicely. Crisp highs with adequate mids and low ranges.
And overall great product and I'm well satisfied with it.

A Must have!

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2019

Verified Purchase

If your a dead head or not this is a must have rock l.p.! It is really an album of Americana music. Great beginings of the Dead 's great tunes that would be part of the live show till the end of the band. This and Workingsmans Dead are the Bakersfield Cowboy era. Have to have. It has as most Dead albums do an incredible cover .

Sounds Beautiful ;)

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2018

Vocal Mix on Box of Rain is a little weird. But besides that everything is very clear and it's like listening to the album for the first time over again. I might try and find a different pressing just to compare mixes. This is a nice addition to any collection. Good gift for any Deadhead who doesn't own it and first time listeners alike.

Excellent vinyl, beautiful remaster of American Beauty

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2020

Verified Purchase

The sound is amazing on this vinyl!!! The recording is mastered better than my old cd. The drums and bass are crystal clear on my vintage stereo. It seems like someone had vintage equipment in mind when mastering. It sounds tremendous on modern speakers as well. The package was high quality and the press is excellent. I highly recommend this American Beauty vinyl.

Surface noise ruins the enjoyment

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

Well, I really didn't want to critisise this lovely looking record, or anything Grateful Dead, but I can hear the noise from the surface of this printed disc through the music, and it just spoils the listening experience.
I love this album, I already have this on an old vinyl record, and that plays fine, albeit a few clicks and pops, but it is 40 odd years old.
So I thought I'd treat myself to this record, as I'd already heard the 50th Anniversay CD, and the remastering is great, and I like things on vinyl, I have a good set up, maybe that's why I can hear any faults? (I genuinely didn't know this was a picture disc when I ordered it) I remember buying Curved Air Airconditioning in '72 I think, and that was a bad sounding record) When I got this, I hoped that it would play ok, maybe I'm wrong, but I do think the printed surface is the reason it sounds so bad
So I'm sorry I cannot recommend this at all. and can only it two stars only, purely because It does look good, and would be great as a piece of art, maybe on a wall.. but that's all.

The Dead's best album, hands down

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

I wanted to give it four and a half stars but could not figure out who to do so. If not as classic or groundbreaking as John Wesley Harding or Sweetheart Of The Rodeo or Gilded Palace Of Sin it is just a notch down the ladder behind them. A classic slice of Americana the Grateful Dead would never but ever put out another album with such great, well-written, and emotionally convincing songs. Not a clunker in the bunch and even Phil Lesh sings a fine Box Of Rain. Well done, lads, well done. Your best work and a truly American beauty at that.

Beautiful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 7, 2016

Verified Purchase

I recently dug this out for the first time in around twenty years. It's a lovely album and light years away from the long jams and Ken Kesey acid tests with which 'The Dead's' are associated with. Ten sweet, country rock tracks ranging from the opening 'Box Of Rain' through the perfect 'Ripple' and concluding with the live favourite 'Truckin'. They were never more focused in the studio as they were here.
If you're thinking of investigating Grateful Dead, then 'American Beauty' along with 'Workingman's Dead' and 'Blues For Allah' are good starting points.

Still beautiful after all these years

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2011

Verified Purchase

As a relatively recent convert to the music of the Grateful Dead, I've grown to love the rich diversity of this great band's music, from the psychedelic output of the 1960's, with those wonderfully eclectic elongated jams, through to the dawn of the 1970's with the delights of "Workingman's Dead", then on to this album.

There's no fillers here, as the band's collaboration with songwriter Robert Hunter yields another great collection, a selection of blues-tinged country compositions. Its easy to see why the versatile Jerry Garcia is held in such high esteem, his contribution here (as usual) is superb, an example being his acoustic guitar picking on "Friend Of The Devil" which is a delight, but I'm certainly not overlooking the great contribution from the rest of the band.
Its sometimes said that the band's vocals lack power, and that may be so, but personally I don't want to be blown out of my chair with powerhouse vocals when listening to these songs, I find the vocals here to be sensitive and emotional, and blend perfectly with the often beautiful and tender music/lyrics.

My favourite tracks are "Box Of Rain" - the personal pain behind Phil Lesh's aching vocals add extra emotion and poignancy to this classic opening track. Then "Friend Of The Devil". Also the truly beautiful "Ripple" with it's moving lyrics and vocals. The catchy "Truckin" is an uplifting foot-tapper. A great album from a uniquely special band, an album that still sounds fresh over forty years after it's release.
