Grateful Dead Skull & Roses
Translucent Lemonade Colored Vinyl Brick & Mortar Exclusive
For the 50th anniversary of Grateful Dead’s first album to be certified gold, the original album tracks are presented here on 180-gram 2LP newly remastered by Grammy-winning engineer David Glasser with Plangent Process Speed Correction. This process allows the tape playback to sound closer to the output of the mixing console than ever before. It yields better separation, less distortion and a solidity to the sound. Black vinyl with Stoughton Printing tip-on jacket plus a sticker insert. Produced for release by David Lemieux.
The band’s second live double album, Skull & Roses was their best-selling album until the compilation Skeletons From The Closet was released in 1974. Originally, the band wanted the album’s title to be “Skull Fuck,” but Warner Bros refused, so the album was left without an official title. As a result, it has lovingly become known as Skull And Roses due to its famous cover art.
