From Important Records website (http://importantrecords.com/imprec/imprec399):
"Here it is, Deadheads, the ultimate Dark Star is now on vinyl. Deluxe audiophile pressing cut in Toronto under the watchful ears of John Oswald. Elaborately printed packaging in a heavy duty triple gatefold jacket includes liner notes by musicologist Rob Bowman featuring exclusive interviews with Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, and Robert Hunter plus six "time maps" which chart the source concerts of Dark Star.
Music performed by The Grateful Dead (c) Grateful Dead Productions Inc. & Ice Nine Publishing Inc. Taken from over 100 performances of Dark Star recorded between 1968 and 1993. Built, layered and "folded" to produce one large, new re-composed Dark Star.
Original recordings of the Grateful Dead in performance have been processed using Plunderphonic techniques. John Oswald's nearly invisible hand creates the ultimate Dark Star that is even more than the sum of its parts."

Reviews
I recently purchased the blue vinyl version of this direct from the label. It is a beautiful package, with a trifold cover and beautiful printed sleeves for each LP. However, the vinyl used here seems to be subpar. All of my records have a lot of pops and crackle. Side of four is the worst. I have cleaned it, cleaned the stylus, played it through a few times, but the flaws are consistent on every play.
