This page lists promotional, sampler, and bonus releases of recordings by the Grateful Dead or by members of the Grateful Dead.
The main focus of this page is on singles, albums, samplers and bonus material that was released for promotional rather than commercial purposes. There is some duplication between this page and the Grateful Dead discography page. A number of promotional singles and albums are identical to the commercial singles and albums except for the color of the label. A number of samplers and bonus releases hover somewhere between commercial and promotional and are therefore included on both lists.
