Grateful Dead – Very Best of Grateful Dead (CD)
Product Details
Seventeen studio tracks can't contain what the Dead actually were, and no one knew that better than David Lemieux and James Austin when they assembled this. What it does capture is the arc of a band that reinvented American music across three decades and multiple label homes, from the psychedelic San Francisco of the late '60s through the arena-filling years of "Touch of Grey."
The first ever career-spanning single-disc compilation from the Grateful Dead, drawing from every label the band recorded on: Warner Bros. Records, Grateful Dead Records/United Artists Records, and Arista Records. Tracks hand-picked by Dead archivists James Austin and David Lemieux — a perfect entry point for new listeners and a handy single-disc overview for longtime Deadheads.
