Shanachie

Shanachie Records, founded in 1972 by Richard Nevins and Dan Collins, is one of the largest independent record labels in the world. Initially focusing on fiddle music, Shanachie released albums by renowned Celtic groups like Planxty, Clannad, and The Chieftains. Over time, they expanded their repertoire to include Latin American, African music, soul, country, reggae, ska genres. In 1989, Shanachie acquired Yazoo Records from Nick Perls and began releasing vintage jazz and blues recordings. The label's name derives from the Irish word "seanchaí," meaning storyteller. Notably, the Grammy-award winning Soweto Gospel Choir also releases albums on Shanachie Records.

The early label design was created by Bill Smith in 1975.

Currently distributed by E1 Music (LC 5762 / LC 05762), Shanachie Records continues to captivate audiences with its diverse range of musical offerings.

In their long career The Grateful Dead have been inspired by a stunning variety of American musical artists and traditions from blues to country to rock to folk - some of the most exciting and moving music ever recorded.

 Here are the original versions of The Dead's best loved cover tunes that surprise and delight with their musical depth, originality, and feeling. This collection has been lovingly compiled by a group of Dead insiders including Henry Kaiser, David Gans, and others with the enthusiastic support of The Dead itself. There are extensive notes included that give an overview detailing how the band came to cover each of these tunes and when they first played them in concert. The distinctive Robert Crumb cover artwork is an instant attraction and add to the collectability of this release.
