Stealin' (2:32) / Don't Ease Me In (2:00) - The Grateful Dead (Scorpio 201) Released in June, 1966 (possibly July, 1996) on Gene Estribou's Scorpio Records. Estribou's studio was located on the fifth floor of 737 Buena Vista West, south of the Panhandle, and west of the Haight-Ashbury district in San Francisco. The label has black lettered text on a red label. The "Stealin'" side is cataloged as "003/201" and the "Don't Ease Me In" side is "002/201".
This was the Dead's first recording contract. Both "Don't Ease Me In" and "Stealin'" are credited to Garcia. The original run was about 250 singles.
It was recalled soon after release. Pressed around the hole are a
flowing-scripted handwritten "Commercial Recorders Inc.", block-lettered
hand-printed matrix numbers "002/201" and "003/201" (on the corresponding
sides), the full song titles for each side, and a handwritten symbol that
resembles two "SS" with an "L" through them. On the "Don't Ease Me In" side,
the ratio between grooves and wax is about even. Also recorded during these
sessions were takes of "Stealin'" (instrumental and vocals), "Don't Ease Me
In" (instrumental and vocals), "You Don't Have To Ask" (vocals), "Tastebud"
(instrumental and vocals), I Know You Rider (vocals), and "Cold Rain And
Snow" (instrumental and vocals). These have been released on "The Golden
Road" box set.
