THE BETTYS RESTORATION PROJECT
Upon recognizing that the Betty tapes were Dolby and DBX encoded I gave out samples of the reencoded tape samples to the inner circle. When I got the original tapes to decode I decided to make safety copies with nothing decoded. It seemed to me that the technology would eventually improve and someday better copies could yet be made. I had a Japanese musician friend send me a Sony D-10 pro DAT deck at a wholesale price, there were no versions of this deck in the States at this point of time. Thus, I made copies with no decoding along with the decoded versions on PCM Beta. The versions I sent out to collectors at this point in 1987 were from the Beta sources decoded. I wore out a lot of decks making copies.
Being a long time friend of Dick Latvala I told him about Betty's tapes being auctioned off. He thought at first I was full of shit. At that time I tried to get the tapes back to the Dead... I'm glad that eventually that happened. Meanwhile my DAT copies sat in their boxes. I made a very few copies of those tapes for a couple friends. Now in 2021 Matt Smith has gone to great lengths to repair and playback these DAT's. I thank him greatly for his hard work in striving for the greatest fidelity offered in these tapes. Turn up the volume and dance to these new copies you crazy hippies, I know I am. Oh yes, there is more music to come from Matt and I.

This has turned out to be a restoration project as DAT tapes from 1987 have turned out to be extremely fragile. I’ve painstakingly repaired and spliced numerous tapes for them in order to play. I manually rewind instead of using the deck just to insure the tape won’t snap and sometimes they’ve snapped just doing that. What I’m hearing is IMHO the best sounding transfers of the Betty’s. Incredibly clean with crisp highs and better low end.
