Enclosure
Included with the release is a single sheet folded in half, yielding a four-page enclosure. The front duplicates the cover of the CD, and the back is mostly black, with a white stripe across the bottom above a circular grey outline of a skull with the number 13 inside.
Inside the enclosure, the page on the left contains a single black-and-white photograph of the band on stage, taken looking down on them from an elevated position. The page on the right lists the contents of and credits for the release.[ 5]
Caveat emptor
Each volume of Dick's Picks has its own "caveat emptor " label, advising the listener of the sound quality of the recording. The one for Volume 13 reads:
"This release was digitally remastered directly from the original cassette tapes. It is a snapshot of history, not a modern professional recording, and may therefore exhibit some minor technical anomalies and the unavoidable effects of the ravages of time."
