Grateful Dead
Workingman's Dead
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2020 US 180gm 50th Anniversary Remaster. Produced For Release By Daid Lemieux. Hype Stickers On Front. “The Grateful Dead Were Already Established As Paragons Of The Free-Form, Improvisational San Francisco Psychedelic Sound When They Abruptly Shifted Gears For The Acoustic Workingman's Dead, A Lovely Exploration Of American Roots Music Illuminating The Group's Country, Blues, And Folk Influences. The Lilting "Uncle John's Band," Their First Radio Hit, Opens The Record And Perfectly Summarizes Its Subtle, Spare Beauty; Complete With A New Focus On More Concise Songs And Tighter Arrangements, The Approach Works Brilliantly. Despite Its Sharp Contrast To The Epic Live Space Jams On Which The Group's Legend Primarily Rests, Workingman's Dead Nonetheless Spotlights The Dead At Their Most Engaging, Stripped Of All Excess To Reveal The True Essence Of Their Craft.” Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide.
