nr. 1 This second anthology is considerably more successful than the first, though I would still argue that the Dead's material doesn't really lend itself to this sort of treatment. This is a ragged collection of live and studio tracks, nicely put together in a handsome package. Collectors might want it for the inclusion of the rare, single versions of DARK STAR and BORN CROSS-EYED. Again, though, I wouldn't recommend it. Buying LIVE/DEAD and WORKINGMAN'S DEAD will tell you more about the band's Warner Br. period than this ever could. * * BLAIR JACKSON
