In 2003, the good folks at Warner Bros. Records and Rhino Entertainment compiled an amazing compact disc overview of the Grateful Dead's most memorable and fan driven favorites simply titled The Very Best Of Grateful Dead. This collection featured the brilliant and sorely missed vocals and guitar musings of Jerry Garcia, the rockin' guitar and vocals of Bob Weir, the driving bass and vocals of Phil Lesh, the powerful drums of Bill Kreuztmann, Tom Constanten and Mickey Hart, the great Donna Jean Godchaux on vocals, plus the sorely missed keyboard wizardry of Ron McKernan, Keith Godchaux, and Brent Mydland.

This mammoth seventeen song collection had something for everybody as it culled tracks not only from the Warner vaults, but from the Grateful Dead label and Artista Records period of the band's output. Therefore, a good majority of the hits and definitive Dead tracks are included on this career compendium of songs which will forever stand the test of time. Their most familiar songs from Workingman's Dead and American Beauty are featured with tracks like Casey Jones, Uncle John's Band, Truckin' and Sugar Magnolia. Plus even more Grateful Dead anthems from their own Grateful Dead label are included like The Music Never Stopped, Eyes Of The World, and U. S. Blues, most of which featured the memorable lyrics of Robert Hunter.

The later Arista era is also highlighted with massive smash hits like Touch Of Grey and more rockers like Fire On The Mountain and Estimated Prophet.

The music of the iconic Grateful Dead have made them one of the most loved bands of all time. Their concerts were history making events, their albums and songs were of legendary proportion, and the cosmic energy between each individual member spearheaded by the late great Jerry Garcia is of unequalled dimension.

The iconic Grateful Dead recorded their final studio album Built To Last for Arista Records in 1989. Featuring the great line-up of Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Bill Kreutzman, Mickey Hart and Brent Midland, Built To Last was a successful snapshot of a much loved band whose legacy continues to grow and attract new legions of fans every day.

Filled with eight new compositions from Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter, Bob Weir and Brent Midland, The Grateful Dead's Built To Last offers a stunning view of a very popular band's experimentation and wizardry in the studio setting.

Produced by Jerry Garcia and John Cutler, the original vinyl album was very scarce as the compact disc was the new medium of choice. With very few quantities of the vinyl album produced, Built To Last soon became a collector's item.

Now for the first time ever on 180 Gram Audiophile Vinyl, Friday Music is very honored to announce the limited edition Grateful Dead authorized release of Built To Last. Mastered for vinyl from the original Arista/Grateful Dead Records tapes by Joe Reagoso at Friday Music Studios, this wonderful album is truly a welcome addition to your Dead collection.

Brilliant tunes like the Top Ten charting rock single Foolish Heart feature the warm and familiar voice and guitar of the legendary Jerry Garcia as well as the lyrics of Robert Hunter. Together this team offered several more gems like the stellar ballad Standing On The Moon and of course the epic title track Built To Last, which is truly a perfect motto and track that signifies the importance of this American institution.

Bob Weir delivers two very strong tracks including the funk rocker Picasso Moon which hauntingly has a Live At The Mars Hotel quality to it, thanks to the clever guitar and piano hooks throughout. Plus his Victim Or The Crime continues Weir's arsenal of great album tracks that have continued to enlighten fans with each and every album he soulfully contributed to.

Brent Midland also contributes several of the more hard rocking tracks like Blow Away and Just A Little Light, which truly showcase his artistic keyboard work and soulful vocals.

Sadly, the all too soon passing of both Jerry Garcia and Brent Midland made Built To Last a final studio album from The Grateful Dead, a band who continues to be an important musical force at retail, radio and of course the live concert business in various incarnations.

The Grateful Dead's Built To Last album will be packaged in a poly bag to preserve the rich details of the legendary cover art as well as a poly lined inner sleeve to protect your vinyl purchase for years of enjoyment.
Peace!
