MATERIAL FROM 1969 FOUND IN GRATEFUL DEAD VAULTS; FEATURES TEN SONGS NEVER
RECORDED BY PARSONS AND NEVER BEFORE AVAILABLE

Amoeba Records will release a major addition to Gram Parsons' discography
with 'Gram Parsons Archives Vol. 1: The Flying Burrito Brothers "Live" at
the Avalon 1969', due October 30th from the newly formed label.  The two CD,
27-track set includes a number of never-before-heard -- though long rumored
-- rarities.

Gram Parsons, leading the Flying Burrito Brothers, opened for the Grateful
Dead April 4, 5 and 6, 1969 at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco.  The
April 4th show has never been heard in any form.  The bonus disc is the
April 6th show. For years these tapes were rumored to exist and were finally
unearthed in the Grateful Dead vault. The shows were recorded by the
legendary sound engineer Bear (Owsley Stanley), and are the highest quality
Gram Parsons live material available.
