They have tons of tapes (literally) and he just needs to reprocess shows that are traded, or formerly released on the Dick's Picks series if done sig'ly better.

BTW, A poster asked above about Sound Test - it is a legendary 'show" based on the band noodling around as a sound .. er... test (not people asking about a way to test the sound of the CDs)
randy-11 Details Discussions Posts This discussion 1,913 posts 02-01-2017 at 08:58pm Copy Comment URL Report Comment Edit Delete my issues are not about them being a business, but about the artificial limitations on production runs of DavPs to create scarcity and hence high unit prices when there are other ways to support the people in the GDO on another note, here is an old thread: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/favorite-of-dick-s-picks

BTW, I just checked and the HDCD processing seems to start at some middle point in the Dick's Picks releases, after the 'art" covers, not at the same time. Plangent is a more recent processing improvement. If anyone knows for sure, they might add it to the wiki on GD album releases, so as to reach the largest audience.
