The record
Title: Grateful Dead – American Beauty
Year/Genre: 1970, Psych Rock
Condition: New
Cultural Facts:
-
Recorded in 1970 as the studio twin to Workingman’s Dead, marking the Dead’s shift from long acid jams into tightly written Americana.
-
Made in California studios while the band was emerging from the Haight-Ashbury ’60s and leaning into country, folk, and barroom harmonies.
-
The ornate “American Beauty/American Reality” cover art played into the era’s tension between idealized U.S. imagery and post-’60s disillusionment.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
