grateful dead remasters

I was blown away by the double CD "Ladies and Gentleman" the one with the Tie die swirl cover.Sonics were to die for.Interesting that it came out not on GD records but Arista.Guess the tapes off the board come out on Arista whereas the "Picks" were non-board,non multitrack issues.If anybody knows how this is decided fill us in.

I wish they would have continued the "from the Vault" series. These were supposed to be multi channel recordings vs the stereo recording of the Dick's series. Think what could be done with those today with the multi-channel formats available.

Chazzbo, Dick's Picks is for two-track masters. The Arista releases are all multi-track masters.

Bundy, the "from the Vault" series *has* continued...they just don't call them that any more. "Steppin' Out", "Ladies and Gentlemen...", "Nightfall of Diamonds", "Hundred Year Hall" are all multi-tracks that fall under the "from the Vault" criteria.

Greh, the first batch of Rhino remaster releases came out on Tuesday of this week.

Also, the contract with Arista has now ended, which is why the remasters are from Rhino.

Would love to see som Dead SACDs! It's too bad there's no high-rez format (yet) that can preserve a set without cuts to switch discs. Until then, the Dark Star->Other One->Lovelight from 2/13/70 will remain a two-disc affair :) But they're doing good work at GDM, and Arista/Rhino. I'm glad they keep pumping out the vault releases. Now if they'd just put out the 10/8 and 9/89 shows...
