Talk:Anthem of the Sun

Untitled
I've restored my edits to the capitalization of the section headings - see Manual of Style (headings) for details on the usual format for section headings. Specifically, only the first letter of the first word in the section heading is capitalized. I also consolidated some lonely bulletpoints into prose paragraphs - this is also more consistent with other encyclopedia articles. I think consolidation also makes it read much more smoothly - I don't think it's necessary to have section headers for just one or two sentences that can reasonably fit elsewhere. I had introduced one typo, which I've now fixed - apologizes for that. CDC (talk) 17:39, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Thick air
I saw a biography on the Grateful Dead, and I am pretty sure I remember the heavy air anecdote being actually Phil Lesh who wanted the heavy air, I am not sure though. GN 7/5/06
 * Well, since I sourced Phil's autobiography, I would have to go by that. The exact quote in the book was: "We might still have had a producer even after that if Bob, on the same night, hadn't asked for the sound of 'thick air'." -- MOE .RON   talk  00:12, 6 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I read Phil's book, too, and you are right, of course. The most interesting experience I have with this record is the reaction of people to the gyroscope running down the piano string (not, if I recall correctly, on the soundboard of the piano as the article says) -- an effect devised by Tom Constanten and Phil Lesh.  They recorded it and when they played it for Hassinger, he "jumped 4 feet out of his chair".  I like to play the record for people who haven't heard it and note their reaction to this.  My informal results: "What the ****!", 5 people; giggling or laughing, 3 people; frowning at the audio speakers, 2 people.  A scientific study of this is in order.  24.27.31.170 (talk) 02:08, 17 March 2012 (UTC) Eric

Vinyl!
The final *plink* (piano) that can be heard on the vinyl version at the very end of the second side (right before the tonearm reaches the center circle and lifts) is not on the CD. Shame! 72.177.123.145 (talk) 04:57, 5 February 2013 (UTC) Eric

Rounder Records
"Early pressings of the album include the phrase "The faster we go, the rounder we get" inscribed on the vinyl in the matrix around the label area. This was the inspiration for Rounder Records' name." Is there a good source for this? I've always heard that their name was from the Holy Modal Rounders and slang use of "rounder" as a synonym for alcoholic, bum, or hobo.71.190.80.228 (talk) 22:15, 17 May 2015 (UTC)
