It ain't slander if it's true, AA- everybody here at .com, Royal Orleans and Dogs Of Doom KNOWS that "Zepster1979" and "Argenteum Astrum" are one and the motherfucking same! How long do you plan on keeping up this pathetic facade, AA? Does making money off of Led Zeppelin recordings really mean that much to you? Is it yer only source of income? Remember, pal, you've been on my personal shitlist for thirteen years for how you fucked up Freezer's Baton Rouge '77 tape coming out- if I live to be 100 I will never let you live that down. Give it up, yer alias isn't fooling ANYBODY. No matter what alias you post under, AA, yer name has been mud within the Zeppelin community for over a decade. WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Since you asked, I may as well share with everyone the email you sent under your Argenteum Astrum alias this morning (not to mention, Paul, that only the last 20 minutes of this show is new and "unhearded" - so much for false advertising). I hope Gerry Olsen's kindness and our hard work getting this stuff out for free brings a nice profit for yourself and T2K!
I reported you to the admins for a false slander my person. It is not the first time I was attributed to that guy and I have enough.
I also asked mods for further movements as I treated this as an unfair move and willing to get a full charges clearing from you.

While it is of course unsurprising to see our liberations being bootlegged, can't say I'm not embarrassed to see T2K jumping on this bandwagon so quickly. Disgusting.
Where did u see that?

In this case, yes.

There are two audience tapes of this show. The better quality one was used for the Krishna LP and circulated as a full tape in relatively poor quality until an superior version was shared in 2010. This is what was used for the T2K release, which they falsely claimed was from the master tape. A poor quality alternate source also circulates. The "half a minute clip" you're referring to is not the pro footage, but from an 8mm film. About 20 to 30 minutes of pro footage is confirmed to exist.
Completely wrong!

T2K’s release is identical in sound quality and content to the previous unknown gen that circulated. It’s not an upgrade and certainly not a master tape. weedwacker’s mix is the best using low gen sources for this date, which was uploaded by ZepHead315 here:
Completely wrong, dude. I have a copy of supposed master tape and it does sound better and brighter than any past copy. Comments over.

This is outdated title. T2K had released this in upgraded quality, reported to be from real master.

I'd say that EV is now starting getting funds again, selling the old stuff. Nothing to complain though, as they are eventually in a position of purchasing a new soundboard due next year.

Good luck with your service. is it a crime selling something that was bootlegged by someone else? I even shouldn't ask because I know the answer.

Tell that again - change your gear, and we can talk. I am not saying that T2K's remasters are fantastic - as everything in this matter it's just a personal taste - but it's clear that you even cannot tell the difference between two copys of the same tape per our discussion related to the Boston show, where we compared two low gen recordings taken from a single source.
I don't care much about your opinion. I am more thinking of how stubborn you're are if you're still trying to fight with something that's obvious, that's all. As said, everything in this matter is strictly subjective but if you even cannot invest some $ to upgrade your equipment, then it's a complete waste of time explaining you of how important that thing is when it comes for examining the quality of recording. I have checked few of your "reviews" and seems like you're still complaining about almost everything that has been done also by some users.
You may ignore my opinion, but you did the same with the others. It tells everything. Good luck with your fight. I have no doubts that some teenagers would come up eventually and you both can start some exclusive groups of complainers.

Just heard the Detroit 7/12/73 release by Tarantura 2000.
Again, terrible. The bass frequencies on the very lowest end of the spectrum have been jacked up again, which creates this awful low-end rumble across the entire recording, just like they did on the Bath and Boston "Enigma" remasters.
Don't take my word for it. Go to Black Beauty, and compare the main source to the JEMS version from the master. Night and day. One sounds natural, and faithful to the source. The other sounds like someone just discovered how to use a low quality equalizer and cranked up all the wrong frequencies.
With the new source, sounds like they dropped the left channel and did the same thing. Cranked up the low-end to oblivion.
If you're so upset with what you've heard, why don't you prepare your own version? We all we'll be much grateful to hear something that sounds better than this, true as that. However, I have some feeling saying that you can only criticize everything that hasn't met your personal taste, and you're trying to persuade everyone that your opinion is the most valuable.
Do your own remaster and show your abilities. I am not in a position of judge anyone's work except of what I tend to think about of what I have heard but since I am not the only one who was quite satisfied with these remasters, I am quite sure that you're still missing the point of that discussion.
Once again: do your own version and let us know about that. You can ever contact the label and offer your skills. Do this and don't waste your time.

You have some shitty taste then, but it's nothing strange as usually you're treating people like this since ages.
Do you wanna that Baton Rouge, huh? No fuckin' way! There's no chances to get that tape because ... i don't have it. And even if I could come up and get that tape, I wouldn't share this with you because of some obvious reasons. You're a restitutionary loser, true as that.

Let me remind you how this all got started.....
Poor pluribus....if you could only get chance to get some appropriate gear to listen to that set loud...but this is what it is - some compact computer speakers and iPhone in the hand and here we have a final statement from forum's expert. You should stay where you were before, dude. You have absolutely no idea of how the master was leaked out and you only repeating of other people have said.
True as that.

I’ve watched this thread, and other threads involving yourself, with a degree of astonishment.
Do you want to just chill out mate?
Whatever the issue, there really isn’t any need for the way you consistently address people on this forum. It’s way past disrespectful.
I suppose I should brace myself for a caustic response.
Oh really? Calling me a bootlegger isn't disrespectful?

Zepster is promoting his own crap lol. Explains why he throws a crybaby fit when people ask for boot links. Afraid he'll lose money.
Because guys like you wants everything for free. This is what I think. We all know that labels like EV have had to pay some serious cash for uncirculated tapes. Then assholes like you are yelling everywhere just because you cannot get these tapes for free. Are you so stupid to not understand that even fuckin' bootleggers have to pay for something? This is the real world we're living in. It's called capitalism. I hate it but what I can do to change it? Cryin' all around for a free download? Calling bootleg buyers a bastards because they don't wanna share with anything with you? There were rhetorical questions because you completely don't understand this. And this is the reason why I'll still calling you a dumb.

11 hours ago, pluribus said:I spend more than my share on bootlegs, believe me. I have since the beginning. It's expected that the labels will always boast about this release or that one. No Label/Lighthouse has released plenty of clones, but they've also released numerous upgrades and new sources. Graf Zeppelin makes updated mixes using lowgens and best available copies, to good effect, but some aren't that good. Empress Valley has the soundboards, but makes plenty of clones, including their Moonchild label. That's all part of the game of bootlegs. They all have good releases, and they all do money grabs.
What makes no sense to me is when people shill for a bootleg company that consistently makes inferior product. Release after release after release. Out of dozens and dozens of titles, Tarantura 2000 has released only two that have been worth anything: No Use Gneco (10/3/72) and Live in the Fairly Tale (9/29/71 Mr Peach source), and both were ruined by the same overdone mastering that is on every single one of their other titles.
Your AA site gets a lot of traffic from Zeppelin fans, I'm sure. The fact that you constantly promote Tarantura 2000 releases, even when everyone else in the world knows that they are junk...well, it's not hard to put 2+2 together why.
Since we're quoting Brannon's site now, don't forget this one, at the bottom of the Tarantura 2000 page: "The original Tarantura ceased in 1997. Since 1999, the name is being used/abused for these series of titles."
You're really stupid and stubborn guy. Not only you cannot hear the difference between sources but also calling me AA, which is false.
I am also not promoting this label. Lots of their products are crappy, but few of them were.are quite good, and this including latest Bath and Boston sets.
And if you're so informed, why you're repeating something that isn't true? The original Tarantura ceased in 1997, that's the fact. One of the owners started EV, which is fact too but the other one returned to game in 1999, so he/she couldn't abuse the name of their own label, you idiot!
This is the biggest proof you're completely dumb child with absolutely no knowledge about bootlegs and labels.And tell you what, I wish to contact them to see some uncirculated stuff released. Really. Maybe this is the best part of this silly discussion to see your faces abashed.

Ah, now I get it. You’re “Enigma”, right? Detailing out a bad EQ job doesn’t make it sound any better. The cut in the 2nd gen before Thank You is not present on the IQ and Le-Mon bootlegs from the 90s, and not because of some made up cut-and-paste excuse. The fact that those bootlegs are not cut at that spot, and the T2K “Master” is, proves that it’s not a genuine release (as usual). On top of which, T2K/You went through the trouble of patching the beginning of the organ solo from Source 2 on this “Master”, yet forgot to patch the intro from Source 2 or the small cut in How Many More Times near the end. This shouldn’t surprise anyone with any knowledge of Tarantura 2000. Every release is a joke. And when they get the rare opportunity to release a potential upgrade, they ruin it with that horrible “mastering”.
I am CIA agent telling you I got everything and this including Jimmy's unreleased solo album with plenty of black masses and other tunes. Jeez, I cannot imagine talking to you anymore. People like you will always finding something to complain. No matter of how good the thing is, it's always not enough good for your taste. With such stubborn attitude you won't be able to be happy even with legit stuff. And I don't need to work to any label. I am enough satisfied I can get some sets and eventually resell them for a good price and make my low budget more efficient.
Wish you good luck with your continuing fight. Bye.
For those of you, who are still interested in details, here's a short quote from Bootledz, where we can read that all titles prior to T2K have cut before Organ Solo and the beginning of it is also corrupted on all pre-2009 titles. (A valid link containing that part of the show, taken from IQ and low gen sets, shows it clearly: https://mega.nz/folder/0VgxjYQY#vyXdZRrSoijp1FFGmV0tag). A worth note is that Sadly, there are two cuts during the beginning of Thank You. Prior releases of this are uncut. No surprise here, as often masters liberated years after are corrupted or damaged over the years and low gen copies made earlier are bit more complete, so indeed - the new T2K is cut here as well as all post-2009 sets.IQ and Le-Mon are strictly from source one, are the cd earliest releases of this show, and are poorer quality than all subsequent releases. IQ repeats about 2 minutes of tape at the end of disc one. Le-Mon repeats a different 2 minute section. Both titles are missing the first 8 seconds of the organ solo. Le-Mon's title sounds a tiny bit louder and clearer than IQ, but both have some awful background noise in places.
EV's first release of this show was in 2001 and was quickly followed with a reissue, reusing the same cds. Source one is the foundation and a second source is introduced to fill gaps. It doesn't have the two minute repeats and the poor background noise problems. Two unnecessary splices are made - one during the end of Since and the other during the second minute of Whole Lotta Love. It's source one is in improved quality over IQ and Le-Mon.
EV's 2005 reissue and the third and fourth cds of their 2010 reissue use the same tape from 2001. These reissues use new discs.
EV's cds one and two from their 2010 title offer an upgraded version of source one. This makes the introduction available, a little more tape/music at cuts, and a lot more tape after Moby and after the show. Sadly, there are two cuts during the beginning of Thank You. Prior releases of this are uncut. The second cut removes a second of tape during a distant air horn blast.
Wendy and 2010's "The Boy Next Door" are two source mixes, using the latest upgraded tape as the foundation and using source two to fill the gaps. Both titles are cut during the beginning of Thank You. Wendy has a pair of cuts, with the later displacing the air horn with an edit of some kind. Boy just has one cut in this area and splices out to the next higher generation of this tape for two seconds. Both titles have good sound, but Wendy's sound may be found to be less preferable.
Boleskine uses the latest upgraded tape as it's foundation and then uses the other source just to fill the gap in the start of the organ solo. It too is cut during the beginning of Thank You, and has edits lasting several seconds. The air horn is removed here too. It's sound is fairly similar to the other recent releases.
The 2015 no label title "Boy Next Door" reissues the audio found on the 2010 issue.
The 2018 no label title "Bath Festival of Blues & Progressive Music '70" reissues the audio found on their original title and adds in two bonus tracks from an LP source.
EV's 2019 "Bath Festival" title is a reissue, reusing discs from their 2010 release "Bath Festival 1970."
Tarantura2000's "Bath of the Blues" consists of two subtitles containing the show, "Raw Transfer" and "Final Mixdown." Both are identical mixes bases on the first source. Unlike most mixes from this label, no tape is missing at the splices and the sound is not over done. -

Whaddya know, I also just gave a listen to the newest Tarantura 2000 release "Some Other Guyz", of both sources for Boston 1970, which AA lists "has been said that the quality is much better than any past title."
Surprise, both sources on that title are worse than all previous titles. Same overdone EQ, this time introducing this awful hiss on top of both versions of the show. The 2nd gen of Source 1 and the 1st gen of Source 2 both sound much better, and have been around for years. What is it with that label? At some point, this has got to be a deliberate maneuver to mess with people. Title after title is just awful. Harsh EQ, overly tweaked sound, false claims of being from the masters, etc. Even when they do have access to a new source, they still butcher it (No Use Gneco, Live In the Fairly Tale). What's even more bizarre is that Tarantura 2000 already released Source 2 of the Boston 70 show 15 years ago in their "Wreckage In Boston" box. At least that version back then was closer to the 1st gen of Source 2. And yet, these are supposedly "much better than any past title".
Dude, your reviews should be placed on the main page of some local paper LOL You have a truly bargain way of speaking.
Overdone EQ? Fuck! I couldn't find any, even when I played it loud. I did a short comparison between this and low gen - again no sign of that harsh top end anywhere. A tiny, heavily compressed and dehissed sound from their past title is better? Are you sure that your ears aren't plenty of wax? Or maybe your gear needs some fix?Tell ya what - buy some decent tube amp, good quality speakers and some decent A/D converter, then we can continue.

It wasn’t the master. That’s a fact, proven by spectral analysis matching it to the 2nd gen that came out in 2009, just with the bass frequencies ridiculously cranked up. Seek no further proof than the cut right before Thank You that they patched with the alternate source. This section is complete on the old Bath CD bootlegs of the main source. Only the 2nd gen had a cut at that spot. This is not rocket science.
Obviously you have an interest in seeing Tarantura 2000 titles sold. No surprise. This is also why you downplay all of the other labels on your site, right? When Lighthouse or Graf Zeppelin release a title, the review says “No new content” or “Nothing new to offer”. Whenever Tarantura 2000 have a title, it’s a “Huge Upgrade”. And yet all of their titles are garbage.
Yes, it is. The spectral analysis has been done on 44.1/16 rate, which gives a similar results. The master is achieved in 24/96 and T2K likely dehissed this a bit, thus it's very similar to the 2nd gen but that's all.
Not only bass freq's have been cranked up, but also top shrill that was presented throughout was gently removed and polished, finally. The mid freq's are in much better balance. But yet, you won't detect this until you get a good quality gear. All the cuts achieved on 2nd gen are also visible on master, nothing strange here as 2nd gen is a copy. The older titles aren't complete. Again, if you or anyone, who did that comparison, would only get some good gear and have some smart ears, you could detect that that small section is repeated from other part of Thank You. All of my low gen copies dated as pre-2009 have that cut, thus it's just impossible to think that any older CDs are complete here.
Sure, I am interesting to see a good mastering. Obviously, it is a step further in something that we've been waiting for a long time. Truly, I do not care if this is T2K, EV or a fan made product. Praising on a good thing isn't a violation. Wanna do something better? Grab the tape, buy some gear and do your own remaster. As for now, the only garbage is your constant rambling. -

I doubt that it will be any good. I had hopes that they had changed their ways with releasing legitimate releases, but the Bath 1970 boxset turned out to not really be from the master tape after all. And the “Enigma” mastering sounded like they just turned the bass up as high as it would go. The low gen Bath source sounds much better.
Poor pluribus....if you could only get chance to get some appropriate gear to listen to that set loud...but this is what it is - some compact computer speakers and iPhone in the hand and here we have a final statement from forum's expert.

To be honest with you, you fucker, I know most of the bootleggers personally. I've been visiting Japan three times and met all of them, listened to some very interesting stories of how that market has been working for years. I could supply them with lots of recordings I have in my possession but this is the last thing I would dream about 'coz once sold or shared, these tapes will be no longer as valuable as they are now.
To tell you something more, I have Indy & Baton Rouge 77, as well as many other rare stuff and I can assure you that because of fact I haven't sold them out, I could get more uncirculated stuff instead. Simple as that.
So, you cunt, you have absolutely no knowledge of how the things are going really. You're like a small boy, yelling "gimme more" all the time but nobody listen to you.
