[Zeppelin Mysteries Hosted by Steve A. Jones]

I don't know about the original tapes being returned to him, but I do know that he contacted a collector in the Zepp community who had copies of most (if not all) of the stolen tapes ( but was NOT involved in the theft). He invited this collector down to Abbey Road studios for a weekend (with said tapes) so that he could make copies of these tapes again for his collection. He was extremely nice, kind and generous to the collector and their spouse.

Thanks for that, Knebby!

Great thread.

I read with interest on an earlier page (page nine I think), which possibly refers to some of Jimmy's stolen tapes being returned to him, after an earlier & infamous theft.

This is the first I've heard of this.

Does anyone know which tapes were returned, and how this came about? Just curious, that's all.

Thanks!

Give it a rest Cactus, it's already boring!

How silly.

Can we now get back to the original aim of Steve's thread, and put all this childish B***ks of who knows more than the next person to bed?

I come on this forum for fun and to gain a bit more insight into Zeppelin.

There are many knowledgeable people on this forum, but only a few of them bother to post. I find that sad.

[ELP Thread]

ELP? Love 'em. Bonkers, overblown, pompous, insane. What more could anyone want from a prog band?

Anyone else heard that Palmer is expected to link up with Emerson and Lake for touring plans after the current Asia cycle is wrapped up? A source on ELP Digest reckons this came from Palmer himself.

I shall be very keen to see that!

[Is Burn like a candle better than HTWWW?]

Yes and No...

Yes: HTWWW is better in sound quality an delivers the "perfectionism" of what Led Zeppelin was about to project while playing. It really takes you like it was played yesterday.

No: The bootlegs always offers "AS-IS" policy in what happened and what was played. Also, the sound quality drops a lot, but you get that atmoshpere that the "crowd fade in & out" between songs doesn't. You get unadultered and unedited songs, plus material not released officially. Also, you won't get the "Knife of Perfectionism" by Jimmy Page.

Amen to that, really!

This is me and my delightful other half (just engaged, folks! ) pictured at our friends' wedding in April 2007. I'm the less-glamorous one wearing the suit, before you ask...

[The Peter Green Thread]

Not too many artists are worthy of the accolades accorded to them, but Greeny is one of them.

I love Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac!
