Go To Heaven - Grateful Dead (Arista AL 9508) Released on April 28, 1980.
Also released as ALB6-8322. On "Easy To Love You", the word "bluebird" was
changed to "raven", at the insistence of Clive Davis, Arista Records
president, that this would make the song more 'Grateful Dead sounding'.
This was the first album with Brent Mydland, and included his "Easy To Love
You" and "Far From Me". The Dead rehearsed a Robert Hunter song called
"What'll You Raise" for this album; a portion circulates among tape traders.
