    8.7lbs? Can that be right? That's about 4kg. Aren't Les Paul's supposed to be notoriously heavy? If these have been designed to be much lighter than the originals, what effect will that have on the sound? Not criticising - genuinely interested in how these things work. Excuse my ignorance - I'm a drummer, so I don't actually know anything about music. 😉 

    I think they generally weigh about this, 8 - 9 pounds is about normal. They often make them lighter now, with chambered bodies for the folk who can’t hack them. Pesobnally I like a heavy guitar

    The price it sold for is on the website. If you take a minute to read the whole thing it gives you loads of info. 

    I read the post and saw the price but replied too quickly to make myself clear. I was wondering what their current value is, unless the £20k price is the current price rather than their original price. Thanks for your link, much appreciated.

     

     

  3. Do you know that Donovan pretty much invented Led Zeppelin? Along with the Beatles and many other things. Only last night I saw a documentary on him where he claimed that on Sunshine Superman he had not only Page & Jones but Bonham too playing on it and Page was making a lot of notes and how it was pretty much the blueprint for Zeppelin’s whole style 

    It can’t be denied that Donovan certainly has been around but Jesus, no one loves him as much as himself

    I haven't noticed either of those. Do you have timestamps?

    No sorry. I became aware of these two examples (TYG & MMH) many years ago when someone on the old forum posted a list of these kind of quirks and I checked them out. Headphones are required for both. The unplugging of the jack in TYG is easy to hear but only if you know to listen for it. It’s either after the first or second solo. I haven’t heard it myself for many years so I may check it out at the weekend

    Still can't quite believe that Kevin Shirley not only thought that he could improve Bonham's drum sound (!), but that he could faff about with the recording to make the drumming tighter!? Huh? The absolute deluded cheek of the bastd. Still remember the relief back in 2018 when Shirley said that he wasn't involved in any live releases that may have been planned for Zeppelin's 50th anniversary. Honestly, I'd sooner have no new live album than one that Kevin Shirley'd ruined!

    I agree but presumably Page signed it off, so he’s no better.

    the worst edited album I’ve ever heard in my life. I’m 57 and have never heard anything as shit as the edits in NQ, WLL and D&C. They might not have been able to do much with the film bu that’s no reason to fuck up the accompanying album
