To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band's debut album, 'Grateful Dead' is re-released. The band recorded and mixed 'Grateful Dead' in five days before releasing it in March 1967. It captures the group's early sound with a mix of electrified jug band stomps ('Sitting on top of the World'), Chicago blues ('Good Morning, Little School Girl'), crazed modal improv ('Viola Lee Blues'), and Dylan-y put-downs ('Cream Puff War').
