Never mind the vocals and just enjoy the majesty of this Dark Star.I would assume unmolested in it's transfer by Charlie.

Excellent advice; you know, not to cue Monte for a multipage repost, BUT I often wonder if those around for all the mailings on Round Records/DEAD records/etc., those that joined the fan club in 71/72 via S&R, have a much stronger "sense" of what the DEAD represented...?

Of course, I am always "on" about this, how I fought for what they represented, and how strongly I/we believed what they said, and they said these things (we don't like suits, we can do 'it' better; we won't rip you off; we are genuine; blah, blah, blah), and thus, this dubbing thing was at the time, much bigger than folks might think.

Anyhoo, my point is, I often think it's an age related phenomenon, and that I am simply one of those that lived in the Bay Area at this precise time, and was thus influenced by it all, and of course, sucked it all up uncritically, etc., etc., etc. They really should have paid me for all the PR they rec'd; at least 5, maybe 10 diff people went to one of their shows this summer that told me they traced their interest to my droning on about them in 74-78 or so. AGain, no pat on the back here--the fact is I was relatively pathetic--the odd man out as a bball playing, DEAD spouting, too late for the 60s, middle class hippie wanna be...
