Vinyl Lovers Department: the vinyl edition of the Jorma and Jack chapter of Bear’s Sonic Journals is finally here!

The elegant electric orange and blue vinyl features a previously unreleased bonus track “Uncle Sam’s Blues” recorded live by Bear on June 27, 1969.

We have received numerous requests for this one on vinyl since we first released it in 2018.

The official street date is February 27, but with the holidays and Jorma’s 85th birthday, we thought maybe we could celebrate a bit early.

Also we have some new titles to announce right around the bend, including a project that Phil Lesh wanted to produce with us and an original release by a new artist that features some of the artists that Bear recorded…stay tuned!
