Please excuse me, this is my first post. What brought me here was to find if anyone has claimed #1 on any of the sets.
I would like to share...
My journey began at Record Theatre when the first three albums were release, I was disappointed that Led Zeppelin & Led Zeppelin II Super Deluxe were sold...so was my hopes for the collection. So I purchased the standard deluxe editions (1-3) to crave my satisfaction.
Fast forward to mid-December, I was Christmas shopping for my wife and daughter at B-st B-y, I decided to stop by the music aisle and noticed that IV was available for deluxe but HotH was sold out for the deluxe version, I wandered to the next aisle and saw that they had both IV & HotH for Super Deluxe first press. Needless to say Merry Christmas to me. I thought at least I have those as first press editions. Continuing my holiday shopping, I wandered down the plaza a few stores down to the big name book store (B-rnes n Nob-e) and they had all five, first press, I could not resist and scooped up I-III (I could not believe the first 2 albums were still available in stores). They all have the sticker on the front and the tag on the back stating first press of 30,000. To this day I cannot bring myself to open (although I want to). In addition to my unopened Super Deluxe sets, I decided to buy deluxe editions to listen to.
After reading these stories about the horror that fans have endured I feel extremely fortunate, I just hope the wagon-wheel keeps rolling for me and I can secure Physical.
Just wanted to share... Man, I love these albums.
