The Grateful Dead: Terrapin Station
Chas de Whalley, Sounds, 30 July 1977
TEN YEARS and twelve-odd albums on from when they first hit the streets of San Francisco, the good ol' Grateful Dead present us with their most perplexing elpee ever. After four solid days on my stereo and so many spins half my block must know it inside out, I still haven't the faintest idea what to make of it.
