    I feel the need to echo the positivity here. This is a fantastic pressing all around. Soundstage and clarity are top notch. All the details are there. I also have the MoFi pressing and while that has the edge, this one compares quite favorably to it. Considering it can be had for around 25 or less, this one is a no-brainer if you don’t want to splurge on the MoFi.

      Amazing pressing; very clear sound and has little to no surface noise. Highly recommend picking this up.

            Best sounding pressing of this I have heard. Solid pressing, perfectly flat. Great sound dynamics and clear.

              Good sound. Nice pressing. Quiet and flat. Mine came with a shard of vinyl trapped between the LP and the inside sleeve. Rubbed what looked like a serious blemish on the surface of side B. At first the needle skipped, but after a few cleanings and spins on the TT, it appears to be superficial and does not affect the sound. Happy to have this and would recommend.

                Grateful Dead is meant to be heard live but this is a fantastic album that sounds fresh and lively.

                  Recently got this one. Simple edition, just the record and the cover. Nice work, great sounding, no noise. Awesome.

                    Great sounding, beautiful edition. I am so happy I found the last remaining one for sale in town.

                      Fabulous pressing. Pin drop silent straight out of the sleeve without a clean. Great mastering. Very impressed with the Plagent process pressings. Anyone compared this to the AAA Bellman cut?
