Vinyl Me Please Anthology

Ok so where do I go from here? I have one more album to spin in the anthology. Music Direct doesn't charge until they ship right? So do I throw in an order for Blues for Allah? What about the other MoFi's available? Skull and Roses, In the Dark, and From the Mars Hotel?

Skull and Roses is fantastic but I'm partial to the 70/71 live era.

The Skulls and Roses MoFi may be my favorite canonical live Dead. It sounds fantastic.

In the Dark and From the Mars Hotel are about equal in my book. Very good studio albums. I'd say both are worth it.

Though the best exploration would be into full live shows. Cornell/Buffalo and the Fillmore West 69 shows are readily available and great.
 
Starting Without a Net now. Weird they have a different clown on disc 1 and 2 but then repeat the second one on disc 3.

The live albums released during the bands lifetime that weren't archival releases. Live Dead, Skulls and Roses, Europe 72, Reckoning, Dead Set and Without A Net. You can throw Bears Choice and Steal Your Face in there if you wish.

The Skull and Roses is 2lp 33 rpm and retailed for $55-60 when it was readily available.

MoFi has done the whole MM thing now....they have certain releases at way higher prices. Skull and Roses is $100 at Music Direct now. The majority are not jacked up in price but there are a few that have been.

Mars Hotel is also available on backorder at moFi last I checked. They do not charge until they ship but you also get no heads up on when it ships. I just got some charges out of the blue and that's how I knew they shipped haha.

Skull and Roses is expensive on MoFi but still cheaper than discogs and brand new instead of used...ebay might provide some better luck for a used one if you check regularly.

Yeah that's why I mentioned it. Mars Hotel and Blues for Allah are both backordered. Sounds like Blues for Allah is a must buy. Skull and Roses and In the Dark are available but $100 and $125 respectively.

I have it on backorder from Music Direct even though I already got the Rhino AAA version a few months ago haha

Is this the one you are talking about being AAA?

Yea--they jacked up the prices on Skull and Roses and in The Dark it seems which sucks...I was eyeing Skull and Roses. You also don't have to go for the best of the best if you're just getting into it. I really like the One From The Vault set as well.

One From The Vault: Live at the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco 8/13/75

For a legacy filled with legendary performances, the Grateful Dead Live at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on August 13th 1975 stands out. The band only played four shows during that entire year (remarkable, for a band that toured non-stop for decades), and at th

3 LPs, cut by Kevin Gray. Quality is really nice. It's back-ordered (I think LITA does charge on order though if I remember correctly...)
