The song is known to stretch on for nearly 30 minutes in its extended form. In 1994 the Dead tapped sound artist \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Oswald\u003c\/strong\u003e to transform over 100 live recordings of the song into an epic 109 minute \"ultimate\" version called \"Grayfolded.\" The work has now been reworked and remastered for this new 25th anniversary edition. Oswald has moved pieces around to create new endings for five sides of the records to avoid any fade outs. The artist considers this new take superior to what he had created before. It should be noted that Oswald comes with some pedigree. He started doing his own experiments with sound in the early 1970s when working with cut and paste on the computer was a futuristic dream. As he worked with familiar recordings of popular artists he named his process \"Plunderphonics.\" Through the recordings that the Dead gave him, he was able to apply this technique to create \"Grayfolded.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblack triple vinyl pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehoused in deluxe triple panel gatefold jacket w\/ liner notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eprinted inner sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003elimited edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Important Records 2025\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003ereviewed by Hank Ohs 09\/2014\u003c\/h6\u003e","brand":"Grateful Dead \u0026 John Oswald","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 3LP","offer_id":42010187661402,"sku":"lp-16434","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/4542\/files\/gdead-grayfolded-blackvinyl-1.jpg?v=1754577847","url":"https:\/\/www.turntablelab.mom\/products\/grateful-dead-john-oswald-grayfolded-vinyl-3lp","provider":"turntablelab.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
