Grateful Dead

Yep, mine does too... It is the third disc, but only skips on High Time. Also noticeable blemish/smudge on the outer edge if the disc. I emailed the good doctor around Halloween and was told a replacement is on the way...However i have read here that others had to fill out some type of form to process this, I was not asked to or given one...Should i be worried?

... good morning my brothers & sisters, I’m loving and been loving the lastest Daves Pick #28 since it’s release date. 1976 - 6/17/76 - Summer Time Good ol’ Grateful Dead - primo recording / audio ... besides the faulty CDs that seem to surround this release , I’m quit certain DR RHINO and the Dead.net Team can and will bring this error to a fix! , this Daves Pick is PRIMO in all aspects of a excellent performance and packaging product.
The Grateful Dead still shine through the clouds after all these years. Let the Sun Shine in my brothers & sisters! ...Listen to this part of the performance, Primo Dead... Looks Like Rain’, ‘ RowJimmy’ ,’The music Never Stopped’, ‘Scarlet Begonias’ and ending with ‘Promised Land’!!!
This is a special release and I’m grateful Dave and company shared it with the Fans. Rock on Deadheads :)

Marye -

Getting same skips as everyone else - esp. Disc 3 at the 1:40 minute mark (Let it Grow). Small skips on Disc 1 too. I tried on 4 CD players and 3 PCs and skips on all of them.

Had similar problems with Pacific Northwest ’73-’74 release - they sent me 3 replacement discs and all of them skipped so they finally refunded me the money.

What the heck is going on with your manufacturer??? I noticed that the CD are made in Mexico - wonderful.

Thats a really good thing mate. Like a historical event itself.

Yes, skips briefly on my 3rd cd too, during "Let it Grow"-round about the 1minute 45 second mark. The first cd also sticks towards the end of the first cd, during "Promised Land". Shame-superb release. 1976 shows are always (usually) better than I am expecting them to be-and this has to be one of the best.

I too have also received a defective disc 3, lots of tiny dots in the middle of the discs optical surface, it skips briefly during Let It Grow.

Look perfect but only a listen will tell if it is a fully functioning product. Again the "Made in Mexico" warning rears its ugly head. Although I have nothing but disdain for your orange president, I have to admit that he does have a valid point when he says that US production should be brought back to the US. Maybe he should send Rhino a similar ultimatum to the one he sent to Ford.

I am looking forward to hearing this and sincerely hope that all discs play as they should.

I think you can pm marye, too. And then, she will forward the requests to Dr. Rhino. I don't know if she's collecting them, or forwarding them real-time. But, I'm supposedly in the queue for a replacement. I let her know over the weekend. Anyone know what the standard defect rate is vs. these? I hope it's not getting worse!

Thanks to all who did the service of mentioning their skips early so we could all check it out!

..arrived today, and I've just been listening to the first 7 tracks on cd1. So far so good, although, I have a slight feeling of trepidation, which will increase as I get closer the dreaded 3rd cd. The music sounds great, though-lovely mix with Keith' contribution very evident and enjoyable.
The music is quite a contrast to the sturm und drang of live King Crimson cds I have been overdosing on of late. As different, in musical terms as day is from night.
Incidentally, on the cellophane wrapper, I noticed a statement that the discs were "Made in Mexico". Maybe they have been for a while, but its the first time this has been drawn to my attention on a release.
