Grateful Dead Europe 72 - all music edition - 22 shows on 72 Cds

I ended up with 2 sets of this great collection. It is the complete Europe '72 our, all 22 shows on 72 CDs!
This is the all music edition (no steamer trunk and no book, just the 22 individual shows each in its own CD case). I got another one as a gift recently so one has to go. This is the most incredible Grateful Dead tour ever in my opinion and a must have for every Dead Head.
I am asking $355 dollars for this, which includes free shipping. It sells for $450 on the Grateful Dead website so you get to save about $100.
All CDs are in excellent, mint condition. 3 or 4 of the CD cardboard cases have a small 1/4" or 1/2" tear to a corner or edge because, as anyone who has this knows (and you can confirm posts online) the CD sleeves were made a bit too tight for the CDs to fit in so it is very hard to take out the CDs without causing a small tear to the CD sleeves. That is how they were made and everyone who has this set has the same issue. The few tears are only to a few CD sleeves and are not bad at all but I wanted to mention it. Otherwise, all is like new.
Please send a pm if interested.
Payment is to be by money order only.
Sorry but no pay pal.

Just curious,if you got 2 complete sets why no coffee table book and trunk.Price is a good one . I felt the Lyceum Strand shows were the stand outs do to their extensive set list and really marathon show lengths.I also agree that these shows were at at time when
they were at their best. Heads will debate this but for sound quality, set diversity and them clicking on all cylinders.2chl- Adcom GFA- 555-Onkyo P-3150v pre/amp- JVC-QL-A200 tt- Denon 1940 ci cdp- Adcom GFS-6 -Modded '87 SDA 2Bs - Dynamat Ext.- BH-5- X-Overs VR-3, RDO-194 tweeters, Larry's Rings, Speakon/Neutrik I/C- Cherry stain tops Advent Maestros,Ohm model E

Thanks leftwinger. Yes, I also think it is a good price for this amazing collection. There are 22 complete shows and 72 CDs so the cost is less than $5 per CD and the price is about $100 less than what it sells for new at the GD website. The reason I am selling the All Music Edition (no steamer trunk nor book) is because I bought the box set (steamer trunk and book) for myself about a year and a half ago when the box set was released. The box set, as I am sure you know, was limited to 7200 copies and sold out quickly and is no longer available (except for ridiculous prices on the auction sites). I was given the All Music Edition recently as a gift and, since I already have the box set, I do not need the All Music Edition and am selling it. I accidentally tore about 3 or 4 of the cardboard CD sleeves (a small 1/4" or 1/2" tear only to about 3 or 4 CD sleeves) when I went to confirm that all the CDs were present. However, I did the same to my CD sleeves when I got it becuase the CD sleeves were made a little too tight for the CDs. The CDs fit fine but are tight and one has to be extra carefull in taking out the CDs, and even then, an occasional small tear or two happens. I am hoping a Grateful Dead fan who does not have this jumps on this because there is so much incredible music here. I listen to it over and over and it never gets tiring. It is worth it alone for all of the amazing versions of Dark Star! Thanks.

Price dropped to $340 with full shipping (and postal insurance) included!

Don't forget The Other One, too. During these years, and this tour especially, the Dead used The Other One as an exploratory, improvisational vehicle very similarly to how they used Dark Star.
This is an excellent set. I own it. Some of the shows in this release have been been priorly released, like Rocking the Rhien, Steppin' Out, 100 Year Hall etc... the remasters here sound better than any of the previous releases hands down.
Highly recommended.2-Channel: PC > Schiit Eitr > Audio Research DAC-8 > Audio Research LS-26 > Pass Labs X-250.5 > Magnepan 3.7's
Living Room: PC > Marantz AV-7703 > Emotiva XPA-5 > Sonus Faber Liuto Towers, Sonus Faber Liuto Center, Sonus Faber Liuto Bookshelves > Dual SVS PC12-Pluses
Office: Phone/Tablet > AudioEngine B1 > McIntosh D100 > Bryston 4B-ST > Polk Audio LSiM-703's -
Final price drop to $320 with FREE media mail shipping and postal insurance (if you want priority mail shipping please add $11 extra for priority mail shipping). New Year's Special for a GD fan looking for this amazing collection!!! This is the lowest I can go and it is over $130 off of the new price listed on the GD website (even more when you consider you'd have to pay sales tax and shipping form the GD website). Thanks for looking.
Have a wonderful and happy and healthy New Year!!!! -
Ok, this is really it - as low as I can go
$315 with free media mail shipping (if priority mail wanted, please add $11 extra).
Final price drop and then I am going to offer it locally.
Thanks! -

I just went to my local post office and it appears that media mail shipping will only cost $10 so the total cost, including free media mail shipping and postal insurance, is $310.
Thanks. -

$315 total (including media mail shipping..sorry but postal rates increasing tomorrow). This is a great set at a great price!
-
Final price drop to $310 which includes US Postal media mail shipping and postal insurance (or $300 if local pick-up in Albany, NY, zip code 12203).
I promise this is my last post for this. I decided to give it one more try.
I am surprised this is still here as I thought it was a pretty good deal for a Dead fan.
Thanks! -
Final bump prior to posting online tonight...
Thanks. -
