Vinyl LP pressing. "In 1969- for their third album The Grateful Dead eschewed outside producers and created Aoxomoxoa themselves beginning a run of self-produced albums that would continue until 1977. Scrapping the first sessions which were recorded to eight-track tape the Dead now had 16 tracks with which to experiment their psychedelic sound with an album that included entirely Robert Hunter-penned lyrics for the first time." - Archivist David Lemieux
