The Dead albums sound great digitally, I have all of them on CD and that's not a bad, certainly more budget friendly, way to go.

I did the same thing, I already have the MoFi versions of AB, WMD and Skull/Roses (all are amazing if you were curious). I picked up the MoFi versions of From the Mars Hotel and Blues for Allah for about $150 combined. I am considering adding another album but I'm not sure which one. So there you go fellow Canuck @Mather

I was partially kidding but also my main vinyl setup is not in my living room, it's in my office and I don't have a CD or DVD player in there
I have beefed up my digital streaming setup though so I'll check out some of the other recs in this thread for Dead live shows with that.

Oh, I always forget this. Got my CD set up in my bedroom, but have a blu ray player in the living room and want to put on the new Dave’s pick while I cook/clean today

Zamrock came in yesterday and luckily nothing was wrong with it, the booklet it came with surprised me the most. Really looking forward to spinning these this weekend. Only complaint I have is the silly button it came with... Of all things to say or illustrate, I am baffeled by whoever thought it was a good idea to go with what they did.

"AMANAZ" is an acronym for "Ask Me About Nice Artists in Zambia", btw. Not like I'm gonna be going around wearing that, though...

I had no idea that was the case, I was like I don't feel qualified to have anyone come up to me and have me tell them about artists from Zambia.. At least this makes sense and I could point then to listening to that album

This is why you’ve got to watch the mini doc! And WITCH is an acronym (or probably backronym) for We Intend to Cause Havoc.
If anyone is interested in some more information on WITCH, here’s a Jagari Chanda interview with a bunch more context and information: WITCH interview with Emmanuel ‘Jagari’ Chanda - It's Psychedelic Baby Magazine

Just got a Dead.net email about it:
So they are definitely trying to target the completist market - though the reception in Deadhead circles I'm in about this has been pretty cool.
Attention completists! We've teamed up with Vinyl Me, Please to bring you VMP ANTHOLOGY: THE STORY OF THE GRATEFUL DEAD - an eight album (four studio, four live albums), 14-disc set, pressed on high-quality 180-gram vinyl at QRP, including new direct-to-analog masters from original tapes, in a kaleidoscope of hues. The collection comes in a heavyweight two-piece slip and slash box and features original design by Jeremy Dean, along with a deluxe liner notes booklet featuring photos by celebrated Dead photographers and essays from Jim James of My Morning Jacket, Avey Tare of Animal Collective, Dave Longstreth of Dirty Projectors, Margo Price, MC Taylor of Hiss Golden Messenger, Scott Devendorf of The National, John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats, Jenny Conlee of The Decemberists, and Hunter Brown of STS9. |
This one ships late summer - the first 3,000 orders receive a limited edition, double-sided animating slipmat. We suggest grabbing one while you can. |

Getting a new replacement box (only the box). If it's unnumbered I think I'll write my original number on my replacement box. It's hand written so not that difficult.

Have you seen that handwriting though? It's like grandpa's cursive. Wacky for sure.
