Cultural Facts:
- Compilation Lore: Released after the Dead had moved on from Warner Bros., Skeletons From The Closet pulled together recordings from 1967 through 1972, spanning their early psychedelia through the rootsier Workingman’s Dead and American Beauty period.
- Personal Struggle: Founding member Ron “Pigpen” McKernan’s declining health forced him to stop touring in 1972, and he died the following year at only 27, making this compilation one of the first major Dead releases issued after his death.
- Album Art: The surreal skeleton-and-rose cover was created by celebrated graphic artist John Van Hamersveld, with Bob Seidemann handling art direction, adding another distinctive image to the Dead’s growing skeleton iconography.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
