Yep, but once opened it becomes a bit fiddly and the individual cd's will be prone to scratches. I think I will get some protective inner CD sleeves. Other than that, it IS a great compilation. Second pressing run is sold out now. Curious if a third batch will be released (with a price increase to 50 bucks?)
Agree about separating them to avoid scratches. I have some sleeves with flaps I can use or maybe transparents with round bottoms. Did not know that there was a second pressing run. Maybe they will use different artwork.

Is there not printing on the discs? Is it hard to sort out which disc is which?
There's printing on each disc by year. All 15 are stacked with a plastic disc protector plus paper backing both top and bottom wrapped in hard plastic to keep it together.

Looks like I got one! Got the invoice, paid for the set and have a tracking number!
I'm really excited about receiving it. Pretty sure it's going to be on constant play when it arrives.
Congrats... Down to two in stock. Good little compilation when you don't want to break out a particular show.

Anyone getting this from Amazon? Dave Lewis reviewed it - looks interesting. Interviews and other cuts left in.
Looks nice...only sold through Amazon UK. Definite completist piece.

Who are the "W.T.H. Twins", I wonder...anybody we know?
Always thought it stood for What The Hell Twins? Other than that, don't know...

As of today, there are only five copies left and I hope you get one of them.

Man, that looks amazing!
It's well worth the tag...even if it is now at $38.

Just want to mention EVSD: they just released a 15-cd box - a mere 2000 yen - with the work done by “nakedeye25” and upped on DIME 3 months ago: “Evolution Is Timing”.
Exactly the same songs, cd’s and song separation on those cd’s.
Someone at EVSD has done an incredible job... 😜
Picked it up for $25 plus EMS postage... Very nice, well done compilation by nakedeye25. Interesting that it does not contain Moby Dick or the Over The Top from 1977.

From one of the Earls Court gigs:
"John comes from a circus family...my God, how come a family can be so heavy!"

There's a Winston Remaster of the Cleveland 4-27-77 show. Surprised they haven't put it out yet even if it has been released so many times over.

Just ordered the two Seattle shows. Can't wait for them to arrive. How do they sound?
Both sound excellent. The 21st has audience fills where there were cuts in the soundboard only releases notably the introduction. Likely a clone of The Treachery Of The Long Knives.
Great way to get both without spending too much...
Enjoy and cheers.

Picked up Tokyo 9/23-24/71, Osaka 9/29/71 (soundboard), Seattle 3/17 & 21/75 (soundboards)... Another interesting bit is The Song Remains The Same 2 DVD set that is noted to be a Fan Edition. Taking into account the EMS charge...comes out to roughly over $15 a set. Not shabby.
Oh and got a freebie of that Rolling Stones 1 CD of studio outtakes 1970-1974.

Kashmir ends after the first time the crowd hear the song
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK"
There's a novel you could write from the Montreal kids chatter lol
During the bow solo... One guy says "We're in trouble!" then the other says "Down home fiddle!"

All the non-Winston Remaster releases are re-issues of the Godfather titles... The American Return is an example.

One of the 1975 Los Angeles gigs...one guy yelling "Are you still crazy!?" to the band.

Arigatou Osaka...very natural sounding. The fills of the second source in the gaps is very well done. Not as jarring transitions like in Empress Valley's You Were There In Spirits. The latter though is a bit more upfront and brighter. Winston's Remaster is easier on the ears.
-
Listened to the first disc of Badgeholders.... In comparison to Eddie, the sound is more expansive and extending out across the speakers. Both are clean. Excellent overall. For new collectors or those on a tight budget, the Moonchilds are good bang for the buck. At least they use the appropriate year pics for their artwork.
On another note, I picked up The Rolling Stones "KBFH" title. Superb stereo...best release of the 1973 FM broadcast I have on other discs.
-
Rose Palace, Pasadena 1969. Anaheim 1970. The latter I know the someone who has it. Had a few convos with him back in the mid-1990's. Looking back, he was a total self-important tool.
Supposedly two nights of Cincinnati 1977 is out there complete...

Sampled Winston's Listen To This Eddie version... Impressive with a three dimensional quality to it with excellent balance and separation. You feel like you are there with the band dead center in the mix. I haven't listened to New Orleans 1973 (The Drag Queen) in a long time. Seamless integration of the audience tape with the soundboard. Overall clean sounding though the board mix sounds thin and a bit garbled.

I must say that the bootleg LPs being sold on eBay are now priced more than twice and in some cases three times as much as they were before.

Came across this thread...
My first Led-Zeppelin bootleg was a 2 LP set called "Flying High" on the White Knight label. Color cover, wrong date listed as it was the Fillmore West, San Francisco 4/27/69. I purchased it from a mail order place in North Carolina that sold such things. $15 was a lot then for a kid. 35 years later, I still have it and then some...
My first CD was "On Tour" which I believe was the first ever release on such a format. Gatefold papercase sleeve, 2 disc set...sourced from the Zurich 1980 soundboard. Again, mail order from a place in Vegas. $75 bones back then. Yes, I still have that too.
From those...all hell broke loose. Still haven't stopped.

Los Angeles circa 1978... This cat [who looked like a cross between Boston’s Tom Scholz and Aerosmith’s Brad Whitford] was playing on his one channel tape recorder "Custard Pie" and "Kashmir" in succession in school. Intriguing I thought...serious, heavy mantra stuff. At that time, I was into music but not as heavy. I liked The Beatles unaware of any other bands. Listened to an 8-track of KISS at a friend’s house. Cool. Besides those, it was typical pop fare on the AM radio.
Then this lovely vision of a girl Leticia Sloan befriended me. Wow. She invited me to hang about at her folks’ house. Hormones at Mach V speed! Got there, she and I decided to rifle through her older brother’s LP collection. There it was… Physical Graffiti in all its sublime presence. Die cut windows with the peep-hole pics. We decided to give it a spin. That was all she wrote. I was hooked. Totally forgot about her at that moment awash in the band’s mind altering sonics. Good thing, older bro was a friend but we did handle the goods with utmost care.
Went out to get their catalog starting with "The Song Remains The Same" soundtrack making the trip with my buddy Jaime to a local Licorice Pizza record store [anyone remember those?]. He was big into the band as well. My first mag of them was Circus with the front cover asking "Led-Zeppelin: Are They Still Rock’s Prime Quartet?" which I nabbed at a Safeway. Another pivotal figure in my life was this Australian transfer student Andrew who showed me this three page catalog that sold bootlegs out of North Carolina. At the time, the band just finished their four 1979 gigs in Copenhagen and Knebworth. Hey now…what are these things?
I fiddled about enough coin to pick up an LP called "Flying High" which was a 2 LP set recorded at The Fillmore West on 4/27/69. Soundboard of the band at their embryonic primal best. A few months later, it was "Montreal ‘75" a desultory recording but perfectly captured the delirious manic vibe of the audience. Loved those hilarious in between song patter from the recording party. From my collecting fervor took off and hasn’t waned since. Now, it is a nice, healthy little horde that I have assembled. Heck, I even still have several long boxes full of cassettes that covered my collecting period between the LPs and the eventual proliferation of that digital medium...the CD.
To this day, I still have all of the items I mentioned and then some… It has been a serious love affair that still burns bright. Obsession? Nah...not in a sense that I try to collect everything but maybe it is because my wallet won’t let me. Things like relationships, a place to live and needing to eat gets in the way. Maybe if I ever hit the lottery.
To this day...my hat’s off to Tish, Jamie and Andrew wherever they all are who ushered me to this very satisfying and endearing musical journey with my number one favorite band.

Ben Affleck...
Affleck, a longtime Led Zeppelin fan, admits he was desperate to use the track and vigorously pursued the British rockers to win permission, but they asked him to make a very specific change.
The film showed actor Tate Donovan putting the needle on a record, and Affleck was asked to change the shot to show the needle being placed on the correct spot on the vinyl to correspond to the song's position on 1971 album Led Zeppelin IV.
Affleck agreed and he headed back to the editing suit in order to make the band happy.
He tells the Los Angeles Times, "Zeppelin, to me, is the greatest rock 'n' roll band. People say, 'The Beatles, the Stones.' No. It's Zeppelin... So not only did we have to pay for the song, we had to pay for an effects shot. You have to appreciate their attention to detail, though."

THE second Zeppelin bootleg on vinyl I purchased. Not the 1975 World Tour first pressing but the Montreal '75 color cover version. A secondhand copy at a local record shop sells for $90 + tax. Crazy... The concert itself was fun to listen to with the absurd commentary in between songs. At least they shut it so as not to intrude during the performance. The version of Trampled Underfoot on this night really cooked!

Thank you for clarifying... So my copy could be first pressing technically. Just housed all the discs on sleeves with flaps. Snug fit but a bit over including the tracksheet.
