ClauWas sollen denn die Nachbarn denken?
Ja, so wird es wohl sein. Ich weiß auch nicht genau, wie lange ich mit der Serie durchhalten werde, ich fange einfach mal an und schaue wie es geht. Immerhin bindet der Spaß eine Menge Geld. Aber da ich keine der CDs besitze (nur die ersten beiden Dave’s Picks, die dritte habe ich leider verpasst, wie ist die?) will ich es wenigstens versuchen.
Dave’s Picks Vol. 3 solltest Du nicht verpassen. Großartig!

Morning All,
My name is Karl Groeger and I am the owner of Brookvale Records and Looney Tunes. I am the one putting out the Dick’s Picks series on vinyl.
We have been working very closely with The Dead on these releases and I welcome your questions and concerns.
As a fan first, I knew there would be challenges going into this project and I think we are doing an amazing job with them. I would like to address 2 concerns I see brought up here. Sound source and side splits. Of course these are critical.
While we want of course the source tapes to every show, we are at the mercy of The Dead for masters for both ART and MUSIC. For the first shows the Dead simply does not have the original masters for them. We had no choice except to go from the CD. My first reaction was, thats impossible, how do they not have the masters? Well after about 6 months of searching they just do not have them. It looks like though for future releases they have about 90% of the masters on all the volumes.
OK so we don’t have the masters. Can we go from the CD? How is that going to sound? Well they sound great! (Check out the reviews on brookvalerecords.com).
We had a choice to use anyone we wanted to master this vinyl from the CD. We were suggested to use Rainbo pressing. I decided not to. I have been a HUGE face of both RTI and GOTTA GROOVE RECORDS. I think both plants have been making some great QUIET records. After about another 6 months of discussions, we choose Gotta Groove to re master and manufacture the vinyl on 1 and 2. And I could not be happier. Although YES the CD is not ideal to go with. BUT I think it came out EXCELLENT! Or I would not put my name on it. I have actually made LPS from masters on another project that did not sound half as good as these dead records do. I hope you will enjoy them.
SIDE SPLITS. Yes this is going to be another challenge for sure. With vol 2 you notice that it is a 3 sided record???? WHY ??? I decided to not make a side 4 because I could keep the JAM going on side 3. Where ever possible I will also keep the jam and do our very best with track listings and side splits. It will be a challenge YES. BUT I DO NOT THINK that its a reason NOT to do these.
I love vinyl. I think it is the perfect way to listen to The Dead.
I welcome your comments. (crap…ha ha).
Thank you for your time guys I hope this addresses some concerns.
Best,
Karl
