Copyright claims on youtube possibly hinting at new release
Pb! replied to June72's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
It may have something to do with the recent UK (European?) copyright laws that declare any sound recording becomes public domain if there isn't a physical release of it within 50 years after it is made. -
Better yet, tell us what's etched in the trailout.

This likely was the incident that made Mike hate bootleggers.

HI - I have an interesting Led Zeppelin Acetate..
Pb! replied to Phonostage's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
The red flags for me are the 'unreleased' and 'from the yet to be released...' text on the labels. No cutting technician or whoever would write anything subjective like that on a legitimate acetate. -
The thinner cover with the darker brown is later - If it has a catalog # 8236, it's from the early to mid-seventies; if it's 19128, its from 1977 or later.

III and IV are original first pressings. With II, check the fine print at the bottom of the label - if the address is 1841 Broadway, it's a first. If it's Rockefeller Plaza, It would date to 1974. If it is a first, ; check the run-out etchings on both sides. If you see 'RL' then you can buy 500 lottery tickets and win a billion dollars.

I'm sure I started a thread about this... the only responses I got mentioned the Puff Daddy song from Godzilla...

Items you can't convince yourself to buy

I will never justify paying the going rate for the 70 LP 'The Final Option', especially since I have all but 4 of the individual titles that make up the set.- 113 replies

I have been told (on this forum I believe) that the girl on the back cover was also the model on the front cover of 'Houses'.

I have heard the same thing about the 'ATCO'-style label press http://www.vjez.com/zep/default.asp?pagina=us33 . I have both and if the mixes have differences, I didn't notice them. The test pressing is mono, but is just a 'fold-down' of the stereo version. The 'ATCO' version has a pause between Black Mountainside and Communication Breakdown while the standard edition doesn't. There was a big discussion on the Steve Hoffman board that has needle drops for comparison. -
I think that is worth at least $200.

That is right about the time and price I got my copy, from a seller in Italy whose Ebay store had nothing but new bootlegs.

I am surprised how many people think this bootleg release is legitimate; here is a current Ebay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-ZEPPELIN-BBC-TRANSCRIPTION-DBL-LP-STOKE-1973-INSERT-NEAR-MINT-/191415495459?pt=UK_Records&hash=item2c9140ab23 Of course, it is two loonies fighting out but their feedback numbers show they ought to know better. There are also arguments on Discogs about this, with the people arguing that it's 'official' obviously being sellers wanting to maintain the inflated values. I was wondering if anyone here knows more about the origin of this. I have not seen itmentioned in any guidebook and always assumed it was released in the mid to late 90's. ?

I thought the article mistaking the Firm's drummer for the Midnight Oil singer was amusing, plus itlet me dimiss the rest of it without having to read it.

Has anyone got a copy of Destroyer 4 album box set
Pb! replied to Coxneil's topic in Led Zeppelin Master Forum
'Destroyer is 4/27/77'. There are 2 versions, both use the DRGM label. The 'first' edition is from Europe and is supposed to have superior sound but all the 'Plantations' are edited out. This has the blue cover with a close-up of Jimmy. The US edition is inferior and has several variations; the most valuable are the plastic case version and one that came on colored vinyl. 'THE Destroyer' is 4/28 and shows the battle scene on the cover. It is an audience recording. I got this info from Robert Godwin's collector's guide - anyone even slightly interested should seek it out. I don't know what your internet problem is but if you google Led +Zeppelin +Destroyer you should get pages of hits. Here is a site that tracks eBay sales: http://collectorsfrenzy.com/search?q=led+zeppelin+destroyer&search-button= -
The Rockefeller Plaza address on the first dates it from 1973-1976. The 2nd is from 1977 or later.
