JonathanBonham Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I have in my possession, what I believe to be a rare LZ live vinyl. It has a black front cover with a picture of Robert Plant on the front, he is wearing a red and black outfit with flower and cherry patterns all over it. The back cover is black with two red lines around the sides. It reads: LED ZEPPELIN BBC CONCERT SIDE I COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN DAZED AND CONFUSED GOING TO CALIFORNIA SIDE II STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN WHAT IS AND WHAT NEVER SHOULD BE WHOLE LOTTA LOVE/MEDLEY Produced by Monique Corriveau Designed by Michel Vermeer IMAGE DISC INC. 6062 Cote de Liesse, St. Laurent, P,Q, H4T IE5 Limited Edition 1000 Copies I have scoured the internet to find information on this but can't find anything so I thought I'd come on here to see if anyone could offer up any advice. I'm looking for an approximate value to help me decide whether I should listen to it or sell it :-) Its double sealed, no date, mint condition except for a small bend at one corner which I presume is more to do with the tight wrapping of the seal rather than being mishandled. I've had it for about 6 months and its seen nothing but the utmost care from me. It was purchased in a famous music store in San Francisco ;-) Looking forward to hearing some info!

swandown Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 It's a re-press of the old TMQ bootleg "BBC Broadcast". You don't need to listen to it, as all the song can easily be found elsewhere. I'm not sure about the value. On the one hand, it's pretty rare. But on the other hand, it's not an "original" pressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hi JB, I own an original as well, having purchased it circa 1988. Very nice item with current market value of $40-$100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanBonham Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks for the info swandown and SteveAJones Reckon I'll hold onto it for a while then, especially if I can get the tracks on the internet to get a listen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks for the info swandown and SteveAJones Reckon I'll hold onto it for a while then, especially if I can get the tracks on the internet to get a listen! Led Zeppelin's BBC radio performances are arguably their most bootlegged material. It would be a shame to needlessly devalue your collector's item by breaking the seal and playing it when the material is readily accessible elsewhere.

JonathanBonham Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thats what I meant I'll be able to listen to the content online instead of breaking the seal to listen to the record. It means I can keep it as is for a while longer and then maybe consider selling. Thanks for your help and I appreciate the concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Shep Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 i also have an lp called Kashmir with side one No Quarter and Tangerine side two is 1. Kashmir 2 Going To California 3 That's The Way and 4 is Woodstock.same producer credits. This sounds like a different release of the single LP 'Earl's Court' vinyl I picked up in the 70s (for which there was later a 'part two'). The track order is identical. Is there someone repeatedly yelling 'Manchester' during the preamble to Tangerine? If so, this is it - it's from 24.5.75 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
