The rear cover of Dick's Picks, Vol. 24 carries the following warning;

CAVEAT EMPTOR
Dick's Picks Volume 24 was mastered from the original 2 track analog source tapes recorded at 7.5 IPS. Some minor sonic anomalies remain, but as much as is humanly and mechanically possible has been done to make this recording as good as it can be. Enjoy.

Dick's Picks differs from our From The Vault series in that we simply did not have access to complete shows (nor the modern mixing capabilities afforded by multitrack tapes) But we think the historical value and musical quality of these tapes more than compensates for any technical anomalies... In other words what you hear is what you get. And what you get ain't bad!

Dick's Picks Vol. 24 was originally only available by mail order from Grateful Dead Merchandising and other selected outlets. It was released through regular retail distributors in September 2004.

Dick's Picks 24 was made available as a digital download from Grateful Dead Productions in November, 2005

For information about other releases that include music from this period see the 1974 section of the Dead by Date page.
