Grateful Dead From The Mars Hotel - Grateful Dead (Grateful Dead GD 102) This
album is also known as "Ugly Rumors" (hold the front cover upside-down in front
of a mirror to see why). Early releases have 'AUTHENTIC' stamped vertically on
the left side of the cover to counter the record bootlegging that was rampant
at the time. Released on June 27, 1974. John McFee, of the group Clover,
plays pedal steel on "Pride Of Cucamonga", which was written by Phil Lesh and
Robert Petersen. Lesh and Petersen also co-wrote "Unbroken Chain". The album
also includes "China Doll", "Scarlet Begonias", and "U.S. Blues", which had
long been performed by the Dead as "Wave That Flag". The Mars Hotel was a
hotel for the down-and-out, located at 4th and Howard, south of Market (and
near Winterland), and near the CBS recording studios. It has since been torn
down; the demolition of the hotel can be seen in "The Grateful Dead Movie".
Stanley Mouse has the original 8 by 10 photograph, used for the back cover,
taken of the band members sitting in the lobby of the Mars Hotel. On the back
cover, where the windows show "outer space", in reality, the windows look out
on the the street outside the hotel. On the front cover, one can spot straws
protruding from some of the windows.

Grateful Dead Records. GD-102".
