On August 29, the reissue series kicks off with the band’s 1970 self-titled debut album, with audio restored and remastered from the original master tapes by mastering engineer Dave Gardner and tape restoration specialist Catherine Vericolli.

“It’s very rare for an archivist and a re-mastering engineer to be in the same room with the source material on a project,” Vericolli said in a statement. “To investigate, troubleshoot and make decisions as a team to best serve the releases. The approach is unorthodox, but the more we dug in, the more we realized that the magic of this undertaking wasn’t just in the tapes, or the incredible history that surrounded us in the studio—it was in the process. It was in the collaboration and trust.”

In the months that follow, other celebrated albums from the group will be released, including Free Your Mind… and Your Ass Will Follow, Maggot Brain, and more. Hear the remastered “I Bet You” below.
