    Description

    Robert Hunter – Tales of the Great Rum Runners (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, 2‑CD Set)

    This edition is a fully remastered celebration of Hunter’s 1974 solo debut, expanded with an entire disc of previously unreleased alternates, outtakes, and deep‑cut treasures restored with Plangent Processes.

    The 50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Tales of the Great Rum Runners revisits Robert Hunter’s first solo album—an essential companion piece to the Grateful Dead universe. Known primarily as Jerry Garcia’s lyrical partner, Hunter steps into his own spotlight here with a blend of folk storytelling, frontier ballads, barroom snapshots, and early versions of songs that later became Dead staples.

    This edition features:

    • Original 1974 album remastered from the analog master tapes

    • Plangent Processes restoration for improved clarity, pitch accuracy, and tape‑speed correction

    • A full bonus disc of previously unreleased alternate takes, mixes, and outtakes

    • Mastering by Grammy‑winning engineer David Glasser

    • Rhino 2024 reissue, made in Germany

    • Catalog number: R2 34906

    • Barcode: 603497824786
