Celebrate 50 years of Wake Of The Flood, the Grateful Dead’s first release on their very own Grateful Dead Records, fully remastered for its golden anniversary.

Originally released in 1973, this album marked a turning point for the Dead. With the passing of Ron “Pigpen” McKernan and Mickey Hart taking a temporary exit, the band welcomed Keith and Donna Godchaux, infusing fresh keys and ethereal vocals into their signature sound. Tracks like “Eyes Of The World” showcase jazzy grooves and lyrical depth, while “Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo” is pure Americana storytelling with that laid-back West Coast sway.

“Stella Blue” remains one of Jerry Garcia’s most hauntingly beautiful ballads, glowing brighter than ever thanks to this 50th Anniversary Remaster by David Glasser. Expect warm analogue depth with modern clarity, thanks to Plangent Processes tape restoration and speed correction, making each note feel intimate and alive.

Produced for release by David Lemieux, this edition honours the album’s original magic while bringing out sonic textures you’ve never quite heard before. Perfect for Deadheads wanting to upgrade their setup or new listeners diving into the band’s rich history.

Add this remastered classic to your collection and let the timeless spirit of the Dead spin anew on your turntable.
