Workingman's Dead is the fourth studio album by the American rock band the Grateful Dead, released on June 14, 1970, by Warner Bros. Records. Driven by heavy financial debt, a recent drug bust, and the sobering aftermath of the Altamont Music Festival, the band abandoned its trademark psychedelic experimentation in favour of a stripped-down, Americana, folk, and country-rock sound. Recorded in just nine days at San Francisco's Pacific High Recording Studio.
Warner Bros.-Pioneer started the "Rock Age" promotional campaign in 1971, these releases feature a special delicate die-cut obi strip with the official "Rock Age" logo. This specific style of obi was attached to albums issued between May and August 1971. Early pressings can feature a rare blue label promo design such as this copy.
