In this, our first mailing, we are pleased to announce that DeadBase X

has finally gone to the printers. 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.
