Enclosure

The release includes two sheets of paper stapled together in the middle, yielding an eight-page enclosure. The front duplicates the cover of the CD and the back shows the outline of a white circular stealie superimposed on a color photograph of the prairie with a fence stretching out into the distance and a tornado forming in the sky above it.

The first two pages inside the enclosure feature a

penultimate page contains a single black-and-white photo of the band on stage backed by a color photo showing lightning bolts, and the last page 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 19 reads:

"Despite a rather skeevy ouverture, the sound quality of this release quickly settles into a nice, warm groove. Listen closely, however, for you may just find that your mind will be blown by the music contained herein."
