Searching for the Sound - first US edition

by Phil Lesh - signed

Grateful Dead bassist Phil Lesh's memoir . Lesh joined the band's original members — Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Bill Kreutzman and 'Pigpen' Ron McKernan — in 1965 and helped morph the legendary outfit from its beginnings as a jug band to the unique, psychedelic improvisational jam band that spawned arguably the most loyal, iconic audience in popular music history: the Deadheads. What a long, strange trip it was.

Also included here are a new CD produced by Phil and a signed bookplate designed by Gary Houston. The CD includes four previously unreleased Grateful Dead tracks, along with Phil's comments on these four songs, including the first-ever official release of the long-lost Grateful Dead original song "Cardboard Cowboy," presented here in its 1966 studio version.

Book has gray boards quarter bound with black cloth, title in silver on the spine; design embossed on front board; b&W illustrated end papers.
