To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Grateful Dead‘s debut album, the band will launch a special album reissue series in January that will include two-disc deluxe editions and limited edition vinyl picture disc versions of all the group’s studio and live albums.
Proceedings kick off on January 20 with the release of a deluxe edition of their self-titled debut. To coincide with this momentous event, we’re delighted to carry exclusive track premiere from the album’s second disc of additional material.
