Grateful Dead, The Arista Years 2-CD Set
An excellent retrospective of the "Arista Years," starting with Terrapin Station (1977), through Without a Net (1990).
I feel there are at least 2 reasons to have this.
Since it's been remastered, it's basically going to make a great party record!; better than you could do on cassette.
It's of course going to be a great gift for those friends and relatives of ours who are interested in the Dead, but unfamiliar with them.
