Garcia, also known as Compliments, is the second solo album by Grateful Dead guitarist and singer Jerry Garcia. It was released on the Round Records label in June 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.
Originally titled Garcia, the album came to be called Compliments because early promotional copies had the words "compliments of" printed on the front cover, above the title Garcia. This helped to distinguish it from Garcia's first solo LP, which was also called Garcia. The title Compliments was officially adopted when the album was re-released in 1990.
Garcia was reissued in 2004 as part of the All Good Things box set, with ten bonus tracks comprising outtakes from the studio sessions.
It was released on 180-gram green vinyl, in a limited edition of 7,000 copies, as part of Record Store Day on April 18, 2015.
