All's quiet on the Deadhead front

Deadhead1974:

Pretty quiet around here, I see.

At the moment I'm extremely short on spare change for shipping, and raise that the question of international customs' interest in, or perhaps ignorance of such content. I do find myself salivating, but ya can't spend what ya ain't got.

Hopefully you can hang on to them until a more stable enthusiast turns up.

Roughly how many tapes are there?
What do you reckon domestic shipping will be?

Might be easier to find a taker if they know how much postage will be needed.

A lot of people probably filled up while the Internet Archive was still open trading on all formats.
I for one still have a tape deck, sadly didn't binge on the Archive when I could have, and can't afford the string of limited edition official releases that are so tantalizing.

Good luck!

Grateful Dead tape collection

I have an extensive collection of tapes that are fairly well organized and in Casio zip cases.
I started the collection in 1985 and I still have it in its entirety today.
Some of the tapes are duplicates of the same show, both AUD's and SBD's.
Let me know if you are interested.
I believe the total number of tapes I have is well over 300 ranging from the late 1960s (including a few of the Acid Tests, Egypt and other rarities).
If you are willing to pay the cost of shipping and perhaps a few extra bucks to help with transport, lets talk.
I'd like a good new home for this pampered collection.
Please advise, thank you. :)

as the previous post suggests, you will probably find a number of people here looking to rehome their tape collections free of charge, so stick around...

Old Bootleg Tapes need a new home

My husband has been seeing the Dead since the '70s. He has a bunch of bootleg cassettes that are looking for a new home (we are moving and don't have room for them and don't even have a cassette player). Does anyone want them? We'd rather send them to someone who wants them and we don't want them to end up in the landfill. We would want the whole collection to go to one person. Let me know and we can talk logistics.

Also DVDs, CDs, MP3s... Post requests and offers here. Please note that while trading, vining, etc. are welcome here, trading, vining, and other unauthorized copying and distribution of commercial releases, including those of the Grateful Dead, is not. Thank you.

Tapes for a new home

@Deadhead1974, If you still have tapes available, I'm happy to pay for shipping. I'd be more than happy to give some of your tapes a new home.
Best,

I have tapes

So…if you’re still interested, I have a box of 64 tapes ready to ship after culling the herd. All Dead, mostly 80’s. I’ll even pay postage, just want to see them go to a good home. Let me know, but I am not very tech savvy, (it was hard for me to even get to where I could post this), so please be patient.

JGB analog tapes?

Hey now! Seeking high and low for JGB cassette tapes.
Message me through this board for contact information.
Life is a bowl full of Jerry's!

Tapes Needed!

Hey everyone!
I’m on the lookout for more tapes! Message me if you have some you want to give to a good home!

Looking to give a good home to some tapes, CDs or other media!

Not sure if any of good people below still have tapes or CDs left… but this new ‘Head would love to give a good home to some tapes, some CDs or other media. I’m in BC, Canada if that affects anything :)

Vintage Tape Decks need a good home

Long time taper here thru the 70s and 80s. I have several tape decks that could use a good home. Nakamichi 1000 and a Tandberg TCD330 that need work. Also a Teac 2300SD Reel to Reel that works fine but could prob use a little tune up. before putting on ebay or FB, wanted to put it our to our community. Anyone out there that knows how to repair or tune up? I am in New Jersey.

Tapes - Trade?

Hey now - I still have a bunch of my old tapes. I might be interested in trading for some cool blown glass item or ?

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks,

Looking for Tapes

Hello there,

I am new to the dead.net forum and am struggling with the private message function - I keep getting an Access Denied error.

I would be interested in any tapes that someone may be looking to re-home and would be more than happy to pay any costs to ship them to me.

I’m a “new” dead head (born in 1990 so I have no choice but to be I suppose). I grew up on American Beauty and Workingmans, picked up guitar in the 90s with heavy GD influence on songs, and got to see Dead & Co at Alpine in 2016.

I have a bunch of old school music equipment both for listening and recording, and want to add some tapes to my collection. Getting harder now it feels like as everything GD is mainstream again (post Sphere even more so?) I snagged a box of reel to reel live recordings for $40 back in 2020; not sure you could find a single reel for that on the internet now.

Im just looking to have these for my collection and experience the music as it’s been experienced over the years without overpaying someone who is just out to make money off something.

Anyhow, appreciate your time, and if anyone happens to have any tapes around still, I’d be honored to add them to my collection.

Thank you,

Gayl from Wisconsin
