Heart was incredible 1970s until mid-1980s. And didn't Peter Grant once say "Barracuda" (which is basically Zeps' "Achilles Last Stand") was the (paraphrasing here) best Zeppelin song they never recorded?

"When I step out, strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like Barry White"
Not to toot my own horn, but back in the early daze of "the Internets," most lyric sites had that line as "she wears her cloak like fairy white," or something similar to that. I figured Planty wouldn't write that, so I took a listen to Royal Orleans and heard the correct line. I emailed a few of those lyric sites, and eventually the Barry White line became the standard.
So, I'm, like, taking credit for that, man....😁

Right on, bro.

Beatles's producer George Martin once said he thought the White Album should have been a single album. I think there was a lot of filler/crap on that album.
1968 was not a year of peace and happiness (RFK/MLK assassinations, police riot at Democratic Convention in Chicago, Viet Nam war protests, riots in France, the Prague Spring, etc.). So, the album should reflect a more serious, harder edge (like the Stones did with "Beggar's Banquet").
Imagine (sorry for the pun) how great it would be as a single album EVEN WHEN YOU INCLUDE "HEY JUDE" and the "REVOLUTION" single, both of which were recorded around the same time.
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:
- Revolution (single version)
- Hey Jude
- Glass Onion ("looking through the bent back tulips (two lips???), to see how the other half lives..."?
- While My Guitar Gently Weeps
- Yer Blues
- Helter Skelter
- Back in the USSR (only because it leads into...)
- ...Dear Prudence
- Everybody's Got Something To Hide (except for me and my monkey) THE MONKEES?? Nope, dope.
- Happiness is a Warm Gun
- Birthday
- Cry Baby Cry
- Savoy Truffle
- Don't Pass Me By (the obligatory Ringo song -- don't get me wrong, I think Ringo is great!)
- Blackbird
- ...and for a bit o' fun in the run off, just a small snippet that says, "Number nine, number nine, number nine...

I remember hearing the single version on AM radio, with the cut coming before the psychedelic freak-out mid-section around 1:20 or so...

Not a 1st issue pictured, yours has the Warner logo in the rim text.
Pictured here is a first-press US release, with "Strawberry" in the run-off (upper right-hand corner of picture).

Not necessarily. I have several boots on Vinyl (showing my age) that were just white covers with some bad photostat copy taped onto it saying what it was (and a few times with incorrect tracks listed!).
Just give us what the tracks are and The Experts here can help you out..

Okay, let's just say the Zepps did a single version of Physical Graffiti, with only songs recorded in 1974(***).
In which order would you place the tracks for Side 1 and Side 2?
HERE'S MY HUMBLE OPINION that I think would sound pretty cool WITH OR WITHOUT some liquid or chemical or herbal enhancement:
***(and I am gonna cheat by having the LP start with "Bron-Yr-Aur," so f--- me if y'all's ain't be cool wit' dat!...🤗).SIDE ONE:
bron-yr-aur
trampled under foot
wanton song
kashmir
ten years goneSIDE TWO:
custard pie
in my time of dying
in the light
sick againWHAT IS YOUR VERSION?

What do you think is Jimmy's finest piece of work post Zep?
The Death Wish 2 soundtrack. I must be in the minority about this recording. Rocking, ethereal, sublime, nicely done.

One of his best solo albums. Interestingly, it will be over 30 minutes per side of vinyl. Does that mean it will be a quieter than most albums?

Oh boy... 'Whole Lotta Love' Berlin 1980 is in a class by itself; that freak-out jam session is a thing of beauty, Jonesy playing bass like Jimmy plays guitar, it's magisterial... almost as if they (subconsciously) knew it was the last hurrah for them and they gave it their all one last time... it's magnificent even if the rest of that show was spotty, alas...
Oh man, I TOTALLY AGREE with your description! What a great freak-out jam indeed by The Four Lads!!

The Jonesy rune/symbol is exactly how it is on the album with the circle thickness varying, not a constant thickness.

I'd like to know both the meaning&reason Bonham chose the 3 interlocking rings symbols?.
Another reason, I'm JUST GUESSING HERE, that it looks somewhat like a Drum Set from view at drum seat?

Those midnight showings were the best. That and Floyd's "Live at Pompeii," -- albeit, a different mood.
As for one of the TSRTS showings, a buddy's girlfriend fell asleep during Dazed & Confused, only to wake up near the end of the song to say to us seriously, "Didn't they play this song already?"
Beer bottles rolling down the aisles. Beer cans being popped open. A near-contact high from all the legal and illegal things being smoked. People screaming at the very beginning to "Turn it up! Turn It Up!! TURN IT UP!!!!" (One night the projectionist did that for just a little bit, and Peter Grant's gangster car driving by made everyone's seat rumble it was so loud!!) It eventually got so bad that for future midnight showings, police were checking theatre goers before they bought tickets.

HTWWW 2018 Blu-Ray Headphone Review
As each song begins, a still picture is displayed for the entirety of the song, and looks to be matched to each song that's playing. (...) I never owned the 2003 edition, so any 2003/2018 comparisons will have to come from someone else.
Yes, I have the 2003 Blu-Ray, and it did the same thing with a still photo that changes once the next song begins. I'll have to order a copy seeing everyone here is digging the new sound!

Back in the day, this was the original (1976) version of the "Celebration Day" song that appeared on The Song Remains The Same soundtrack, the difference from current version happens around 2:25, a version I find more appealing -- but was probably scrapped due to video restrictions.
-
Opinions are like rear ends: Everyone's got one, and here's mine:
- Inconsistency of Robert Plant's lyric writing. His lyrics range from cosmic highs to generic school boy scribblings. Too many of the songs are written about him losing his woman and/or love. Not expecting him to be Bob Dylan, but he never really wrote anything meaningfully deep. "We just want it to be about the music, maaaan."
- Speaking of Percy, some of his lyrics were indecipherable anyway, especially later on. Lockjaw from too much coca?
- The Companion Discs. I understand a lot of the stuff was already out there illegally, but most of the songs sound 98% like the original release. Would liked to have hear more songs in their embryonic stages (see The Beatles "Anthology" discs).
- No audio releases of complete concerts, say from 1975 or even 1980. Who cares if they weren't perfect sounding?
- Not putting "The Rover" on the Houses of the Holy album instead of "D'yer Mak'er."
Traveling Riverside Blues Promo
in Led Zeppelin Master Forum

Not the video, but the SONG itself I remember FOR THE FIRST TIME HEARING at a gig of an ex-roadie of Jimmy Page's (Joe Jammer). The club was noisy but the radio station playing over the din of the crowd was playing a song that sounded VERY ZEP LIKE. I thought maybe I had too much to drink the next day, but the next afternoon the same radio station played "Traveling Riverside Blues" and then and there I knew it was a newly uncovered Zep song someone "found" (this would have been the late 1980s, before the box set). I realize it was on the BBC back in 1969, but here it the U.S., it was something new to behold!
