    There's a good Charlie Miller soundboard patch on the archive.

    5-19-74 vinyl, etc

    I think that Daverock and I both got good copies of 5-19-74.

    I’m tempted on 7-31-74, but will wait to see what people report about their copies.

    5-7-77 is a joke on the reseller market, asking way too much for it. I’ll get it in a few years when the scalpers are sick of it sitting around collecting dust.

    Yes, it’s a crap shoot if you will get a good pressing.
    DP2 10-31-71% was great.
    10-9,10-76 had a few sides with issues.
    5-8-77 had a huge smudge across the side with Scarlet->Fire, and extensive pops and static on Morning Dew.
    The comments for 1-22-78 was that it was a terrible pressing, so I avoided it, even when it went on sale.
    All sides of Lyceum 72 were good for me.

    I got a Spin-Clean washer and it has helped clean up some dirty LP’s, but it can’t fix a bad pressing.

    5/21/74 % vinyl

    I felt inspired to play this after reading Cnkds post. It seems that vinyl is variable in terms of pops and crackles. Mine played very smoothly, without any audible interference at all. I haven't always been so lucky. 2/27/69 has a bit of surface noise on at the end of Mountains of the Moon. And in the Europe Box set of the Lyceum shows, 2 sides were a bit scuffed - something which Deadnet kindly remedied by sending me replacements. That's a great album, though, that Playing from 5/21/74.

    But records are my favourite medium for listening to the Dead now. Mention of 7/31/74 - that's a big temptation to get that on vinyl. Whenever I am tempted, sooner or later...

    Sounds good but a lot of pops.
    Not such a great pressing.
