Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Grateful Deads first album to be certified Gold, this 2021 Remaster pressed onto 180g Black vinyl features all newly remastered tracks, remastered by GRAMMY Award winning engineer, David Glasser with Plangent Process Speed Correction. Originally released in 1971, this is the American rock bands second live album, known by fans as Skull and Roses due to the iconic cover art. The album was originally released without a title after the band initially submitted the album name Skull Fuck, but the band, fans and almost everyone who knows the Grateful Dead fondly refers to the album as Skull and Roses. The album was their first album to be certified Gold in the US by the RIAA and is their second best-selling album. Pressed here onto 180g black vinyl, this remaster transports the listener back to the Deads residency at The Fillmore East, New York and, as with the first release, features three tracks previously unreleased on the studio album, Bertha, Playing In The Band and Wharf Rat.
