1974 studio album by Jerry Garcia
Compliments , also known as Garcia , is
Jerry Garcia 's second solo album, released in 1974. It includes one newly written song by
John Kahn and
Robert Hunter but is otherwise composed of
cover versions . The album peaked at number 49 on the
Billboard albums chart .
The album came to be called Compliments after its release, because early promotional copies had the word "compliments of" printed on the front, above the title Garcia . This has helped to distinguish it from Garcia's first solo LP, which was also called
Garcia .
Compliments was reissued on 180-gram green vinyl, in a limited edition of 7,000 copies, as part of
Record Store Day on April 18, 2015.
