As press schedules are tight, the best promise our printers had was to ship it on December 5th, barely in time for us to distribute it in time for Christmas. The postcards have been going out to our faithful customers, and we are now taking advanced orders for DeadBase X; edition numbers are on a postmark priority. DeadBase X is our greatest edition to date. Despite trying our best to keep the page count "down" to the 576 of the last four editions, there was just too much new material -- the new book is 608 pages. This was despite removing the Jerry Garcia solo lists and seating charts, and despite setting the lists in a smaller, two-column format (this compact format is also easier to scan through for a particular show). Nearly half the book is brand new material. Contents: Set Lists -- set lists for 1965 - 1995, including many newly-discovered lists Songs Played - information on the songs the Dead have performed Discography - the Dead on vinyl, in print, and on video Table - a yearly table of the songs played Statistics - extensive statistics on the songs played Played/Not Played - a look at how the Dead's playlist evolved Every Time Played - complete cross-reference by song, a favorite Places Played - cross-reference by venue Feedback - our exhaustive survey of the best of the Dead on tape Deadhead Survey - demographic survey of Deadheads Timings - timings of classic Dead tapes Reviews - over 400 concert and tape reviews, featuring many new live reviews from the early 70's DeadBase '95: Timings '95 -- complete timings for every show Photos '95 -- every stand is represented on 32 pages Feedback '95 -- an extensive survey covering the Grateful Dead and Deadhead culture in 1995 Reviews '95 -- every concert covered, some with three or four opinions Odds & Ends -- an eclectic assortment of square-peg information We prefer that you mail us a money order or check -- there is plenty of time for checks to clear, and credit cards cost us. We do also take Visa and Mastercard (please remember the expiration date). For credit card orders, our policy is to charge cards upon receipt of the order to give you the lowest edition number possible. If you do not care about the edition number, and would prefer that we do not charge your card until the books return from the printers, please make this clear in your order.
