  1. Almost impossible if there is nothing inscribed in the dead wax of those white label pressings. It looks like a mid to late 1980s knock off of a previously available Blueberry Hill title. Pressing a bootleg of a bootleg on vinyl with white labels with a cheap cover slick thrown in to jazz it up was a fairly common practice at the time.

    The only thing that is inscribed in the dead wax is the matrix numbers and "BP". Since I only paid about $35 for it I am quite happy. A trip through the record cleaner and it should be good to go.

    Show identified as 09-04-1970 Inglewood (blueberry hill) thanks to the plantation "who threw the firecracker, you want to be locked up, you should be locked up." Or something like that. There appears to be some printing on the label, it's almost completely gone.

    What Is And What Should Never Be

    I've yet to nail down a source, that will take a little bit more work.

  3. Today while searching for pictures was the first time I have seen the arena before the repainting. I really like how it looked in 1968. I kinda laugh at the paint job too, but I can't imagine it being any other way, or it not being in the skyline of downtown Long Beach in it's current state. It's getting rather dull though, they need to touch it up again. Apparently the top is now painted as well, which it wasn't in the above picture.

  4. I thought I'd do a quick summary of the Long Beach Arena in Long Beach, California. I make an annual "pilgrimage" of sorts to the arena for the Fred Hall fishing and boat show. Being in the arena is pretty damn awesome, and quite amazing to stand in the middle of it and think about the awesome shows that Led Zeppelin put on here, usually with "L.A. Drone" and "Immigrant Song" from How The West Was Won blasting in my headphones. ;)

    From the Arena Website: http://cc.visitlongbeach.com/arena/

    Long Beach Arena

    The exterior of the Arena is covered by the world’s largest mural, “Planet Ocean”, which features a fabulous array of marine life by internationally renowned environmental artist, Wyland. The Long Beach Arena is a magnificent focal point to the dramatic Long Beach skyline.

    The Arena seats 13,500 and has 46,000 square feet of exhibit space. The Arena concourse has 29,000 square feet of exhibit space. The Arena Lobby has 19,000 square feet of additional space.

  5. I collect any and all 8-track tapes. Some of my recent acquisitions...

    DSCF4433.jpg

    Top row: The first is Australian; the others are from Italy.

    Bottom row: The first is from Argentina, then the U.K. and a Record Club of America issue.

    Sweet little colltection of Zep there, I like Italian IV tape. I have around 60 8-track tapes, mostly 70's pop stuff and some rock. I've replaced all of the pressure pads and sensing foil, they actually can sound pretty good. The only Zeppelin ones I've found for cheap are HOTH and IV. I just can't bring myself to spend $8-$15 on an 8-track.

  6. Wow, that much?! I'm glad I got mine for the price I did then!

    Yeah. The prices on Zeppelin vinyl are ridiculous, kinda the norm with bootlegs though. And I love how everything is *rare*. They pressed tons of them, they aren't all rare and worth $20 a piece. I just pulled my copy of LZ IV, was surprised to see it was a Porky, Peko Duck, and that side two has a scuff running through the whole side. <_<.

    Achilles Last Stand, that vinyl haul is great for the price. How you managed to do that on ebay amazes me.

  7. I just saw one of those film can ones on ebay after having seen it for the first time here, that set looks really cool. Do you happen to remember what is on that one? I'm slowly trying to build a vinyl Zeppelin bootleg archive to listen to. Even if they are already transferred to digital, there's just something different about hearing them on vinyl.

    Anyway, Zeppelin memorabilia I collect? My latest acquisition is a Led Zeppelin I picture disc. I overpaid by about 30%...but I wanted it. Sound quality is a little below average, but I still like it anyway.

  8. Before my time:

    Flintstones

    Tom and Jerry

    Looney Toons (specifically Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner & Sylvester and Tweety)

    Mickey Mouse (early ones ie. not the last 20 years)

    During my time 1991-now

    The Simpsons (the early seasons)

    King of The Hill

    X-Men (90's animated series)

    Batman (same as above)

    Hey Arnold

  9. I went to see Heartbreaker, a tribute band, sometime in 2006 or 2007. A week or so before I started to listen to Zep the first time so that I could get a feel for the music before the show. Completely taken by them instantly. I haven't really listened to anything else since. I just recently finally listened to all of ITTOD for the first time....never again.
