    Your Tape Cover Art Can Make You Famous!

    Beloved Fellow Tape Traders:

    https://www.etsy.com/listing/660157177/puzzle-cow-palace-sf-123176-grat…

    Did you decorate your tape covers like this? Do you still have them? I would love to make the really good ones into puzzles and shirts in my shop SHMOGGER'S DEN. (www.ShmoggersDen.com) You will get paid!!

    If you have great tape cover art, I would love to see it, and possibly use some for my Etsy/Facebook stores. Seriously, If you loved making "setlist art" on your J-Cards, please get 'em out and show them!

    You've held on to your tapes all these years... this can be your unexpected WHY!

    Please post them at Faceboom.com/shmoggersden or email me at Shmogger@ShmoggersDen.com. Thanks!

    Tape Cover Puzzles

    Hey Now, family! My online shop, SHMOGGER'S DEN (www.shmoggersden.com) (www.etsy.com/shmoggersden) offers jigsaw puzzles of my old decorated tape covers.

    I also have shirts, mugs and posters of my tape cover art from 20+ years ago. Furthur-more, I make the same sort of setlist art with computer graphic design. Shmogger's Den is the only place for tape cover puzzles in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!

    Seeing as how we're all gonna be self-quarantining, what better way to pass the time than with GD-themed puzzles? (Oh yeah, and Phish too!)

    On the other hand, puzzles are great for parties, with friends working together on different sections of the puzzle. People stroll by, place a few pieces, and stroll off. The whole group feels a sense of satisfaction when it's done. Will the group finish it before the party favors run out?

    Any Shmogger’s Den Puzzle will spark up your living room, and they make UNIQUE GIFTS for your jamband friends or relatives!

    Here are some examples of tape cover art / setlist art / song-themed art from www.shmoggersden.com:

    Jerry & John Kahn At South Eugene 6/5 & 6/6 1982 Any Tapes?

    I am looking for tapes or digital recordings of the 6/5 & 6/6 1982 acoustic shows with Jerry and John Kahn from the South Eugene High School gym.

    I was a sophomore at the University of Oregon with my (now) wife. We have great memories of the shows and would like to relive them. There are recordings of the shows on YouTube, but decent digital or tape recordings would be really nice.

    Thanks in advance!

    Looking to acquire tapes

    Recently was given a couple boxes of dead tapes from a guy who went to shows from 70-90...I don’t think I have interest in converting them and am curious to see if anyone has/willing to pass along some tapes from years I am missing?
    I would love to get anything from the 60’s (Warlocks included)
    70, 72, 83, 86, 87, 88, 92, 93, 94.

    If anyone has any info on where I could get them that would be great. I know I can get them off line but it’s definitely not the same. Thanks in advance for any input!

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.

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.

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,
Jon

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

My good buddy and Grateful Dead fan (Jerry) passed away in February. He turned me on to all things GD. I am helping his wife dispense with the cassettes Jerry collected over the last 40-50 years, estimated at appx. 500. This collection is in Charlotte, NC and available to any Deadhead who would enjoy and take as good care of them as Jerry did. If you are seriously interested, let me know. (400 in wall rack + 100 on a shelf). Most are GD, -some Hot Tuna, Airplane mixed in. Hopefully folks can reply and I will see it. Thanks Rick. I have pics of the collection to share if that helps.

Hey there friend. I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear friend and sending all of the love and light possible to you , his wife and loved ones. My name is Kolby and I’m a young head always looking for more tapes to love and baby. I found the dead at a young age and they’ve always been my wise confidants in my ears through my good and challenging times like so many of us. I’d love to hop on a call / a FaceTime call to get a better idea of what Jerry was like and how much these tapes meant to him. Thanks so much for the post as I’m sure it could’ve been a difficult thing to do. Thanks for your words

Hoping to have a warm home to offer to these tapes. It would be my honor to chat! ( responding again because I’m figuring out how this works and hope you can see this ) Thanks again ,
Gratefully, Kolby

I am so sorry to hear about that Buckyjacket.
I am in Canada, so I am not sure how helpful I could be, but I would be thrilled to offer a good home to some of the tapes as well! I see Kolby also replied and may well be closer to NC, though.

Being born in 2001 I never got the chance to be a taper, but after on a whim seeing dead and co in SF at Oracle a few years back while driving cross country to Oregon for college I fell in love with them. I look everywhere for tapes and besides online can’t find any. I would love the honor to hear some of these shows and feel the memories through the music if possible.

Bucky! I answered your similar comment on my post on Reddit - live in NC and can happily meet up! Hope you are doing well
