Description

A voodoo-soaked masterpiece of psychedelic swamp funk, Gris-Gris returns in this deluxe audiophile reissue from Analogue Productions. Cut at 45 RPM from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound, this 2×LP edition is pressed on 180 gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings and housed in a tip-on gatefold jacket by Stoughton Printing.

Originally released in 1968, the album introduced Dr. John’s mystical alter ego and a sound unlike anything else—murky, hypnotic, and steeped in New Orleans ritual. This numbered edition includes a full-size booklet and archival insert, offering insight into the album’s creation and cultural impact. A cornerstone of outsider soul and experimental blues, now presented in its purest analogue form.
