The rear cover of Dick's Picks 6 carries the following message.

Caveat Emptor:

This compact disc has been digitally remastered directly from the original metal cassette. It is a snapshot of history, not a modern professional recording, and may therefore exhibit some technical anomalies and the unavoidable effects of the ravages of time.

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 6 was made available as a download from Grateful Dead Productions in November, 2005

Dick's Picks 6 was released for the regular retail market by Real Gone Music in June 2015.
