Grateful Dead to release 18-CD 'Spring 1990' box set

The Grateful Dead are set to release an 18-CD box set on September 1.

According to a report on Rolling Stone, the set - released by Rhino in America and available to pre-order at www.dead.net - is limited to 9,000 copies and includes six full concerts, one from each venue on that tour and a 60-page hardcover book.

The shows in Spring 1990 will not be sold individually, but Rhino also has in the works a two-CD compilation of material from the box.

It is not clear whether the Spring 1990 box set will be available in the UK.
