    Spinning now for the first time, sounds good so far.
    140 g, don’t know why everything isn’t 180 g at this point.
    Rush released Exit Stage Left as 200 g. Those are some sturdy LP’s.

    I got Hard Working Americans “We’re All In This Together” vinyl recently. The LP’s were warped out of the package, but still played fine. The pressing was good, but the LP’s feel lighter than 140 g.

    Cnkd - yes, my copy of 5/19/74 plays really well. As does the vinyl version of 5/7/77 - a great show. I didn't get 5/8/77 when it came out on vinyl, as I have played it so often over the years I wasn't sure it was worth it. Which seems a bit of a blooper now. I got 5/9/77, and it would be nice to have the trilogy. Like you with the 7th, if I see it at a reasonable price I think I will get it.

    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.

Just received my Dave's Picks Vol. 21!What a great show/recording!1973-That was the year of my very first Dead show in Buffalo,New York!For fellow New York State'ers,some may remember that was the year of Governor Nelson Rockefeller's new get tough anti drug laws going into effect...of which "Don't get caught holding the bag!''was the slogan on all the commercials!Anyway,me and a buddy hitchhiked from Niagara Falls to Buffalo's War Memorial Auditorium to see the Dead when, walking through the parking lot we were searched and busted with weed!The cops took our weed and then let us go with a warning-that almost blew the evening for us but fortunately the Dead and the wall of sound made us forget about the cops by the second song!(at least I think it was a wall of sound show-I know I saw it!)It was billed as two two hour sets-which it was probably more!Vol 21 is pretty much the same set list as that October show as I remember it.(without checking).Great memories of a life changing time in my life-I was 16 years old then and I turn 60 in April!I probably have heard some Dead or JGB almost every day since then!
