Today I was reading a dutch site on which a guy stated "...Bonzo or John Heineken, which were nicknames, sadly died in 1980...". As for now I've been a huge Led Zeppelin - and especially John Bonham - fan for over 45 years, but I've never ever heard Bonham being called John Heineken. I know he liked the beer but giving him this nickname? Never heard of. Anybody?

No, I'm sorry, I haven't read or heard anything about improvements for the other dates. On the other hand all the shows will be mastered by "Enigma" (whoever he'll be?) and he's doing a great job on Tarantura releases ever since "Bath of the Blues".

I'm also the owner of the EVSD - The Overture box-set. The reason why I wanted The Campaign box-set is because of the Ukiyo-e covers with the zeppelin photoshopped into. As beautiful as all the different covers used for Black Dog 928 (6 covers), Immigrant Song 929 (6 covers) and Stairway To Heaven 928 (5 covers) Empress Valley 2018 releases. Black Dog: Immigrant Song: Stairway To Heaven: Yes, I know 2 missing on the photo's; the 6th BD and IS covers were released in 2019, after I've made these pictures.

Japan '71 cd's in color:

I'll be buying Odense for sure and probably also the upcoming '71 box-set. I've always wanted "The Campaign" box-set so badly, but on the rare occasion it is for sale on https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp is easily goes for $ 1,800.- and I think that's just a bit too much!

According to Takashi (CD Museum Pb) the Kurofune set (Black Ship, Japan '71) is gonna have 17 discs

They won't be put together. This was posted 12-24-2021 as a teaser and last week the jacket of the 9-23 concert was posted and it stated So Tarantura is working on this release for over 5 months. Only may 16th last Tarantura announced the release of the discovered Odense show.

I think the release is within a few weeks. I think it's gonna be a real expensive one considering previous box/cd numbering: "Two And A Half Finger Show": TCD-216, 217 and next release "Good Times, Jimmy's Got The Blues": TCD-226, 227 according to http://www.bootledz.com/labels/tarantura2000.htm So, quite a few numbers missing. CD Museum Pb is tweeting some photo's:

These photo's remind of what could have been...Thanks, both of you. I still feel so stupid, not going to the concert... I made plans for a holiday in Spain, 4 or 5 months before. The trip was quite expensive, so not going to Spain was no option. Besides the money spent I was assuming I would get another chance in the near future. How wrong could I be...!

Given the "photo-possibilities" (no cellphones, a SLR-camera would be impossible to get inside when you're not press) back in the 80's, these are really some great shots!!

I'm sorry to read your wife passed away some time ago. My wife passed away 6 weeks ago (02-04) after a nearly 6 year struggle against ovarian cancer. I can understand you have some disagreement or arguments with other people but I would NEVER THINK of using the death of my wife in a fight with someone. I think you passed a line with that comment. The death of a beloved one can never be compared to the the 'loss' (or not sharing) of a bootleg recording (if any). To me it seems you have a personal vendetta with Zepster. You two seem to be the toro and the matador in a corrida. Whenever someone of you says something, the other one jumps on the train and the fight begins. Give it a rest! Both of you! What's all the hustle worth?

That announcement started the thread 02-19...😜

Latest from Niwa (feb. 8th): Hi, We are making a list for February stock. It does not cover all of our inventory, but we will add it little by little. There is a list of Empress Valley Led Zeppelin and Others, Moonchild Records. If you would like to distribute the list, please contact us. I look forward to working with you. Thanks Niwa I haven't heard since...

I didn't mean a LTTE box set (didn't mention it either) but the release of the original LTTE version in a special EvH cover, the flat transfer and the mastered edition sold as a 3-piece set

After teasing us some 10 days ago with this: Today there's a new tweet from @yuminori0616, seems EVSD is doing the same as with LTTE few weeks ago:

All of the above is true! And Niwa using FedEx is a huge improvement: ordered 11-14, received yesterday 18th...

According to FedEx mine is arriving tomorrow, at the moment at ROISSY CHARLES DE GAULLE airport, France

Today on twitter: the box is completed with "Candy Store Rock" which seems to me a little odd 'cause it was never played live (according to: http://www.ledzeppelin-reference.com/geekbaseweb/songlistpage.aspx?toggle=3&sort=0 )

My tweet: https://twitter.com/bonzo61/status/1323669390102061056 and this link: https://twitter.com/yuminori0616/status/1324001357456531458

Not on this one but rumour has it that Tarantura2000 is releasing both newly mixed “Long Beach Arena Shows”, 1975-03-11 & 12

Tonight on Twitter @cdmuseumpb: "Mastering of Led Zeppelin 6 CD box is completed, and sound quality check is completed. The release is in October. A talented engineer will spend a lot of time mastering. I don't compromise."

...but we want to make money and sell as much as possible, that's why we're exaggerating it a bit. 😂😂 and that's why we're releasing it in 2 different formats, one with the audience which we've released before: 3 times "Deep Throat", twice "Pareidolia Paradigm". And we have another label - Moonchild - which also released the 1975-03-24 show ("Get back to L.A.")

apparently just 2 different copies, according to Blimp_Life on twitter:
