''Blues for Allah'' is the eighth studio album by the Grateful Dead. It was recorded between February 27 and May 7, 1975, and originally released on September 1, 1975. It was the third release under the band's own label, Grateful Dead Records, after fulfilling their contract with Warner Bros. Records. In Britain, the record was issued on United Artists Records, the band's only release on that label.〔http://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/uas29895〕 It was the first album with Mickey Hart in over four years, and the band's first album since their short hiatus from touring in 1974. Possibly because of his late arrival, Mickey Hart's picture does not appear on the back cover. The album's title track was only performed a handful of times in 1975 and never played again after that, while several other tracks on the album were performed regularly for the rest of the Dead's career, such as "Franklin's Tower," "Crazy Fingers," and "The Music Never Stopped." The album was released for the first time on CD in 1995 by Arista before being remastered, expanded, and released as part of the ''Beyond Description (1973–1989)'' 12-CD box set in October 2004. The remastered version was later released separately on CD on March 7, 2006 by Rhino Records. ==Origin== Robert Hunter wrote that the title track for the album is a eulogy to Saudi Arabia's King Faisal. Hunter claims that King Faisal was a fan of the Grateful Dead. King Faisal was assassinated by his nephew Faisal bin Musaid in the year the album was released. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blues for Allah」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
