The Grateful Dead – Workingman's Dead (Vinyl LP, 1975, Warner Bros. Records WS 1869, Terre Haute Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Workingman's Dead marked a major shift toward folk, country, and harmony-centered songwriting in the Grateful Dead's studio work. Jerry Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter supplied much of the material, including “Uncle John's Band,” “Dire Wolf,” “New Speedway Boogie,” and “Casey Jones.” Released originally in 1970, the album was followed later that year by American Beauty, forming a closely associated pair of studio records from this period.

Collector Note
This 1975 U.S. Warner Bros. reissue uses the Burbank palm-tree labels with the Warner Communications logo and was pressed at Columbia's Terre Haute plant, identified by the T1 runout markings. The supplied Side A runout also carries the Artisan Sound Recorders logo, matching this edition's documented mastering configuration. This copy includes its original inner sleeve.
