I remeber this album as one of the first Dead albums that the production started sounding full and worthy of the dead rythym section in the studio. Alabama Getaway is a perfect blend of commercially slick radio friendly sound while still retaining Jerry and Bob's superior technique and road earned mastery of subtle riffing and rythmic augmentation. Althea is so Deadly it defines the power of artistic hippy musical apptitude. I love this album because it is presentable to the mainstream but retains its freak flag flying high buried deep in the highest production fidelity money can buy. If you don't have a fully developed dead ear for psychadelic sound you can start your journey on track number one of Go to Heaven and work your way back to the first Dead Album. Enjoy the research. My the force be with you.

Ok, granted, nobody's gonna mistake this album for "Workingman's Dead" or "American Beauty". But it isn't a genuinely bad album, either. It appears that I'm the first to review the Rhino re-issue, but judging by some of the reviews of the earlier Arista release you'd think that the Dead had commited some kind of crime against humanity in releasing this album. 'Tain't so! The fact is, if you listen to it for what it is (and what it isn't) and with an open mind, you'll soon realize that there's some pretty good stuff here. Althea, for example, is a great song and would have fit in very nicely on, say, "Mars Hotel". "Lost Sailor" and "Saint Of Circumstance" are both decent cuts as well-- despite some other people's negative views-- and would not be out of place on Weir's "Heaven Help The Fool". And the updated "Don't Ease Me In" is a fun and well-played alternate version. In fact, in my opinion, there's not a truly bad song on this album. A lot of people knock Brent's contributions. Alright, no one will ever confuse him with Robert Hunter. But his songs aren't really bad, either. It seems that some people who smugly consider themselves "experts" on the Dead (the same, presumably, who continually bash "Steal Your Face") have tried to make beating up on this release some kinda national passtime, and it was actually out of print for awhile as a result. That's really too bad. If you TRULY love 'em, you know that ANY Dead is good Dead-- some is perhaps just a little bit "less" good. This album is, in general, "less good" compared to some. But it ain't at all bad, either. And by the way, about the cover art. Doesn't anybody get the joke?
In addition to the remastered album (which sounds very good), there are also several bonus cuts, including alternate, studio versions of "Peggy-O" and "Jack-A-Roe". Overall, a nice package. But you'll never know if you don't climb off'a yer high-horse and give it a chance! It's not their best, to be sure. But it's certainly worth owning!

Well, there's been much criticism for the title and indeed the sleeve photograph, but actually this Dead record can be judged more favourably on the contents. Side two is a little dark, with the exception of "Saint of Circumstance", but side one contains some jewels. "Feel like a stranger" is very strong, "Alabama Getaway" surprising and "Lost sailor" and "Far from me" quite nice. But prince among ordinary citizens is "Althea", which has become one of my favourite Dead songs.
"Go to Heaven" may not be an excellent studio album, but we all know that the Dead were at their best when playing live. You won't go to heaven with this one, but you won't go unrewarded.
Hans Wigman.

CD was in good shape but the cover...Well? It was stained and looked old. Not to my standards of "very good". More like used for me. Is that fussy? A bit. Read more

Good album, so-so remastering - don't ditch your old CD yet!
When it comes to the perceived or actual value of a remastered album, most of the time I preach, rant and rave about the miracle of modern record mastering. Read more

Excellent sonics - nice bonus tracks. And Jerry's only 38.
I compared this CD with my LP I bought in 1980 - still in near-mint condition (cartrdge: Shure M97x, Turntble: technics SL1200 MK2, components @ a similar-level). Read more

Nice studio stuff
This purchase was to replace an old, long-lost copy. I've always liked their studio stuff, much to the chagrin of some more serious aficionados. Read more

A Tragically Overlooked GRATEFUL DEAD Classic
Maybe it was the cover art, who knows? Or else, maybe the rock world in 1980 just wasn't as receptive(to a new DEAD album) as they were in 1970. Read more

The band's least exciting album (for me anyway)
This is, without a doubt, the worst Grateful Dead album ever. How bad was it? It was so bad that the band didn't even bother to record another one for seven years. Read more

Great remaster! Of course, Rhino does it again...
I had to jump on here and comment on this, as only one other person had bothered to do so thus far.
