Round Records
Recorded live at KZSU Radio Studio A – Stanford University in Fall 1962.
This release contains Jerry Garcia’s earliest known studio session, and was recorded at Stanford University’s KZSU Studio A in Palo Alto, CA at the tail end of 1962. The mono recording was captured at 7 1/2 ips on an Ampex 350s tape recorder with a single studio microphone and no overdubs. The 1/4” full track master reel was used to master this release, but occasionally shows its’ age with minor flaws. Listen comfortably with our promise that every effort was made to produce this performance for release in a manner that honors the spirit of its creation
