Grateful Dead - The Grateful Dead 50th Anniversary LP Vinyl Record

The Grateful Dead's eponymously titled debut long-player was released in mid-March of 1967. The Dead recorded the album in Los Angeles during a Ritalin-fuelled "long weekend.” Rather than prepare all new material for the recording sessions, a vast majority of the disc is comprised of titles that the band had worked into their concurrent performance repertoire. This accounts for the unusually high ratio (seven:two) of folk and blues standards to original compositions. 

“The Grateful Dead" marks the beginning of an illustrious career. The album helped to grow the band’s following, which would continually grow through their 30 years together. In that time, the Grateful Dead redefined what a touring band could be, and they came by it earnestly. Fifty-four years later, the band’s debut album captures the band in their youngest and hungriest days, eager to carve out a name for themselves. The rest, as they say, is history.
