Title: Jerry Garcia Band – Cats Under The Stars
Year/Genre/City: 1978, southern rock , San Francisco, CA
Matrix #: AB-4160
Condition: EX

Cultural Facts:

[Perfection Spiral]: Garcia later described this as his favorite JGB studio record, but it cost him—endless overdubs and re-takes turned the sessions into a perfectionist grind that wore everyone down.

[Side-Band Freedom]: JGB functioned as his relief valve from Grateful Dead politics, letting him choose songs and bandmates without the Dead’s committee structure.

[Personal Struggle]: By the late ’70s Garcia’s heroin addiction was widely reported as escalating, and this album sits inside that period where brilliance and self-destruction ran side by side.
