''From the Mars Hotel'' is the seventh studio album by the Grateful Dead. It was mostly recorded in April 1974 and originally released on June 27, 1974. It was the second release under the band's own label, Grateful Dead Records, after fulfilling their contract with Warner Bros. Records. This was the final album before the band's hiatus from touring in October 1974, during which time they would finish up the film editing of ''The Grateful Dead Movie''. Two songs from this album were rarely played live ("Unbroken Chain" was played 10 times in 1995; "Money Money" was played three times in May 1974) and one was never played live ("Pride of Cucamonga"). "Pride of Cucamonga" and "Unbroken Chain" are both sung by bassist Phil Lesh, making these Lesh's final lead vocal work for the Dead for over ten years. The album cover artwork is of the Mars Hotel, a rundown, skid row flophouse located at 192 Fourth Street in San Francisco. When held upside down in front of a mirror, the graphic on the front of the album cover appears to say "Ugly Rumors". This inspired the name of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair's band, Ugly Rumours.〔('He even wanted to rehearse' ) by Kamal Ahmed, ''observer.guardian.co.uk'', April 27, 2003, Retrieved October 21, 2010.〕 The album was released in a variety of ways after its original run: *It was released again on LP in 1980 by Mobile Fidelity Records (MFSL 1-172). *It was released for the first time on CD in 1985 by Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MFCD830).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.deaddisc.com/disc/From_The_Mars_Hotel.htm )〕 *It was released on CD and cassette in 1989 on its original Grateful Dead Records label.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Grateful Dead, The - From The Mars Hotel at Discogs )〕 *It was remastered, expanded, and released as part of the ''Beyond Description (1973–1989)'' 12-CD box set in October 2004. *The remastered version was then released separately on CD on March 7, 2006 by Rhino Records. ==Adaptations== Musical group Animal Collective used a sample from the song "Unbroken Chain" for their song "What Would I Want? Sky" on their EP ''Fall Be Kind'', and have received great praise from outlets like Pitchfork Media and Sputnikmusic for their respectful and interesting usage of the sample. It is also the first sample to ever be cleared for use by the Grateful Dead. 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「From the Mars Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
