Description

American Beauty is the Grateful Dead’s studio masterpiece — a warm, organic blend of folk, country, and psychedelic rock that captures the band’s most intimate and melodic side. This Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab remastered edition is pressed on two 180g heavyweight vinyl LPs at 45 RPM for enhanced sonic fidelity, housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, and individually numbered as part of a limited edition. Mastered from the original analogue master tapes using the GAIN 2™ Ultra Analog System, the release offers exceptional clarity, depth, and dynamic range.

Recorded at Wally Heider Studios in San Francisco, the album features timeless tracks like “Box Of Rain,” “Ripple,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Friend Of The Devil,” and “Truckin’.” With contributions from David Grisman on mandolin and Howard Wales on organ, the album showcases the Dead’s lyrical and instrumental finesse, anchored by Robert Hunter’s poetic songwriting.
