Wake Of The Flood – 50th Anniversary: Vinyl LP

Label: Rhino
Release Date: 29th September

How on earth do you follow American Beauty? Well, you take your time, remind the world you're the best live show on earth and put out some of the best live records of all time and then drop 'Wake of the Flood' to prove you can kick it in the studio like noone else. The beauty of this record is it really does feel like a party, a real barnstormer of a cuntry folk rock record with some rootsy jazz. We're Dead Heads round here.

50th Anniversary Remaster of the debut album from the band’s own label, Grateful Dead Records. With the recent passing of founding member Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and temporary exit of drummer, Mickey Hart, this 1973 release introduces a fresh lineup that includes newest members Keith and Donna Godchaux on keys and vocals. Features “Eyes Of The World,” “Stella Blue,” and “Mississippi Half-Step.” 50th Anniversary Remaster by David Glasser, with Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction. Produced for Release by David Lemieux.
