Inside the Grateful Dead's 1971 Live album there is a plea inside the gatefold that reads: "DEAD FREAKS UNITE Who are you? Where are you? How are you? Send us your name and address and we'll keep you informed." This lot features ten of the mailers that went out to deadheads that responded to this request. These mailers were sent throughout the 1970s and feature news about the band information about tour dates sketches artwork and more!
These mail-order/fan club mailers are a part of Grateful Dead history. They show the highest level of appreciation from the band for the fans while at the same time trying to create and produce historical memorabilia for everyone to enjoy. This correspondence or should we dare say marketing was groundbreaking at the time. Ever since it has been a blueprint for other bands on how to build and maintain relationships with their fans. As such there can be no argument that this material possesses tremendous historical importance.
