    Are you sure that the white splash vinyl indicates that there is a Swingin´Pig release? Is it confirmed that the LPs of the original RSR release are black? I think I haven´t seen pictures of black LPs yet.

    Also, I haven´t seen a photo of a box with the Swingin`Pig logo either.

    There is the original release 148 x 70 lps and 2 x 72 lps . I am referring obviously to the Final Option . Now I have seen lots of pictures of this set . Then I read years ago that The Swinging Pig label issued a copy . Try as I might I have never seen a picture of the Swinging Pig issue . When I tried checking online the usual pictures of the original release appear . So my questions are  - 

    a ) did Swinging Pig release a copy of the original ?

    b ) anyone reading this do they have the Swinging Pig set and if so can they provide some pictures 

    c ) how do you tell the difference between the two sets ? 

    Never heard of a Swingin`Pig release.

    IMO the soundquality of the Final Option Box is outdated for a long time.

    Thank you so much for the information! Can´t wait to buy the vinyl.

    Btw, if you love the Private Eyes album on vinyl,  I really have to recommend the Speakers Corner Records release of the year 2017. Speakers Corner used the master tapes, remastered them in a gentle, brilliant way and kept the whole manufacturing process pure analogue. I have first pressings and a promo copy in NM, but the Speakers Corner version sounds second to none.

    The real kick in the balls would be Jerry Garcia greeting you at the pearly gates with a big grin and, "welcome my son, come on in, the Dead concert is about to begin. They made us the house band up here. Groovy baby"

     

    Well, if St.Peter provides some class A acid I´ll give it a try.

    But I think I am better off with the house band a few floors south, with Bonzo on the drums.....

    Was I seeing things or did Paul and Gene change their makeup slightly? Is that due to a copyright or licensing thing? 

    Neither! Haven´t you seen current pictures of Gene and Paul lately? Mr. $$ is getting fatter & poor Paul is getting older.

    Btw, I will never accept that the youngsters use the makeup designs of Peter and Ace. They were not able/allowed to create their own masks, so why don´t they use the makeup designs of Mr. Carr & Mr./Mrs. Vincent?

    For anyone still following this thread, thanks for all of the great advice. I used the opportunity to have a conversation with my wife about the Crosley she gave me. (It was fine.) Last week, after much research, I purchased a Pro Ject Debut Carbon Esprit TT (scores points for longest name), with an acrylic platter, auto speed control, and an Ortofon Red cartridge. (I may upgrade to Blue, but right now, the Red suits me.) I paired it with powered speakers from Klipsch, The Fives. The system sounds awesome to me and looks even better. You might be surprised to hear how much sound (rich, warm, full) these small speakers produce. I’ve decided to now search for the Classic Records reissues for all Zep titles. Man, they are expensive! I’m kicking myself for not doing this sooner, when what (I think) went for $30 now goes for $400 and greater! I’ll return with reports on sound quality, should anyone be interested. Thanks again. 

    Bravo, you made a good decision to purchase the Pro-Ject turntable!

    About the vinyl: I bought LZ I - Houses Of The Holy on Classic Records 200 gram round about 2002, the price was $ 45 each. The pressing quality is excellent & they sound incredible, no doubt. Also, I have the 2014 remasters and I think they sound quite good, too. Considering the extreme high prices for the Classic Records I would recommend you to try the 2014 remasters first, guess you won´t be unhappy with them.

    Not to badmouth Maradona, but wasn’t he a coke head, I heard?

    Yes, he ruined his health with coke & booze.

    Honestly, nothing to get excited about- just think of our beloved boys of Led Zeppelin & Black Sabbath. A lot of coke/heroin user & passionate booze hounds among them, eh?

  8. In consideration of the fact that Jimmy is turning 77 soon it is most unlikely he will tour again, and I am fine with that.

    Maybe he remembers his promise to release several  previously unreleased live concerts within the next 10 years. Ouch!!!- sorry, only 8 years left........how time flies, Mr. Page.

     

  9. 1. 29th Osaka

    2. 23rd Tokyo

    3. 28th Osaka & 24th Tokyo tied for third place

    5. 27th Hiroshima

    My wish list for the 50th anniversary: An official release (complete shows, best of Japan- whatever), finally. The complete 929 SB with Plantations by EV. Any hint for the existence of SBs of 923 & 924. A new uncirculated AUD source of 924 with superior soundquality.

    AMEN

    R.I.P Uriah Heep  keyboard player Ken Hensley. 

    So sad about this. From 1990 to 2005 I saw Uriah Heep about 10 times, all good shows. I was lucky to see just one Ken Hensley concert, this was the best "Uriah Heep gig" I ever saw, by a mile.

    Just a quick hello to everyone from Newcastle upon Tyne in the UK. I hope everyone is well in these strange times. 

    My greatest love is The Beatles, but Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones and many others are right up there with them.

    I look forward to posting here.

    All the very best

    Sgt Pepper.

    Welcome Sgt Pepper! What a formidable guy this General Babington was.

    A few quick suggestions off the top of my head:

    2/19

    2/25

    6/09

    6/18

    6/22

    6/25

    10/02

    10/09

    12/03

    No doubt. all good recommendations for 72 shows with VG - EX AUD recordings. Except one show: I haven´t found a decent sounding boot of the 6/22 San Bernardino show yet. I had the Winston Remaster and an EV release, both with terrible sound. I really don´t understand why this source is rated VG, the source for the 9/19/70 MSG evening show is rated Good to VG and the boots are so much better sounding than the Berdu boots. Am I missing something?
