Following the success of last year’s Fare Thee Well Tour, the Grateful Dead have announced that they will be reissuing their entire discography, starting on January 20th with the 50th-anniversary reissue of their 1967 self-titled debut studio album. Rather than dump all of the studio and live albums on fans at once, the band will be re-releasing them as their own 50-year anniversaries come up.
Each album will be fully remastered and available in 2xCD and vinyl picture disc versions. The CD version will include a bonus disc of unreleased recordings, but the band has an extra treat for vinyl geeks. They’ve also announced a 7-inch singles subscription that allows fans to order reissued singles in the order they were originally released. The series kicks off with the group’s debut, “Stealin'” b/w “Don’t Ease Me In,” due out March 1st on white vinyl.
Check out all the details on the reissues and singles club here. Below, you can hear the premiere of a rare live rendition of “Standing on the Corner”, set to appear on the 50th-anniversary edition of the self-titled LP.
