Grateful Dead: Wake of the Flood – Rare 1974 Pirate Copy, Mint Sealed

Wake of the Flood marked a watershed moment in Grateful Dead history: released in October 1973 on their own Grateful Dead Records label, it was the band's declaration of artistic and commercial independence from the major label system.

This exceptionally rare pirate pressing, produced in 1974 while demand far outstripped official supply, stands as a testament to the album's immediate and intense cultural impact. Bootleggers didn't waste time on records people weren't desperate to own. Remarkably, this copy remains mint and sealed, offering a unique window into an unauthorized chapter of the album's life in the world.

A singular artifact for the serious collector of Dead memorabilia or 1970s rock history.
