    Hi 

     

    Ive just  bought a German Pressing from 1975 I think which has side 3 label on both side 3 and side 4. Has anyone else come across this ?  I understand there are plenty of mispressings of tis but is thisone specifically rare? Can't find any mention of it on Discogs 

    If it's just the wrong label, there is not much of a value boost; maybe $10-15 more than the usual going rate

  2. Way back in the early 80' my local station (KZEW) did an A TO Z marathon and advertised they would omit a few songs and promised a prize if you could name one. I won a small poster of the Knebworth pic of them in a field. The first song they played was 'All My Love' so it obviously was not difficult.

  3. I live in Fort Worth and know several people who went to the May 1977 concert, and they all mentioned the band played Kashmir for a few minutes, and then Jimmy had a problem with his guitar so they switched it out or fixed it and started over again from the beginning. The entire tape has since surfaced and it didn't happen.

  4. There is a 90's era pressing of 'Houses' that plays Green Day on one side (https://www.discogs.com/release/7184799-Green-Day-Led-Zeppelin-Dookie-Houses-Of-The-Holy); apparently someone paid $1000 for it but that is definitely an outlier - the expected value for an error like this is maybe around $200.

    I have picked up a couple over the years - another 'Houses' that plays Tonto's Expanding Headband on one side: 

    https://www.discogs.com/release/7767506-Led-Zeppelin-Houses-Of-The-Holy

    And a Trini Lopez record that plays Led Zeppelin II on one side - https://www.discogs.com/release/5713503-Trini-Lopez-Led-Zeppelin-Greatest-Hits

  5. At least a hundred (I will buy it for that), but it's hard to gauge. I have a US copy of Houses where one side is Tonto's Expanding Headband: https://www.discogs.com/Led-Zeppelin-Houses-Of-The-Holy/release/7767506 .

    I also have a German Trini Lopez album with one side that plays Led Zeppelin II: https://www.discogs.com/Trini-Lopez-Led-Zeppelin-Greatest-Hits/release/5713503 .

    Unfortunately I don't remember how much I paid for either, but probably right around $100.

    Stupid question, but how could you tell a fake ? A while back I bought the black 77’ shirt, a Hanes shirt, I’ve washed it at east 5-6 times. Usually bad counterfeit clothes don’t even have the right “cut”. and get holes and start to fade quickly..

    Easiest way to tell is the tag. The first reproductions of the shirt came around the late 80's (I think). and the design on the front was significantly larger than on the original. Also some had tour dates on the back, while the OGs were blank. This site has a bit of information:   https://www.defunkd.com/blog/2010/02/16/hanes/

  7. In this pic, you can see the catalog # is SS2 201, and the tiny number on the bottom starts with ST and ends in PR. I assume ST stands for Stereo. The PR tells you the specific pressing plant (Presswell) 

    that manufactured the record. Some companies don't specify that on the label but do in the run-out etching in the vinyl between the playing surface and the label itself, usually with little symbols. The CRC on the left side refers to Columbia Record Club, which is a mail-order only club here in the USA.
