  1. I had to go with In Through The Outdoor. Coming in a brown paper bag, interactive water colors, 6 different covers. The 6 different covers all have perspectives from each person in the room. Overall, simply amazing. The main reason is that I have always thought that the album cover matches the mood of the album fairly well.

    I agree

  2. well, it seems that here in Italy there are a few interesting places:

    a camping (camp site)

    Camping Led Zeppelin

    a restaurant

    Ristorante Zeppelin

    a travel agency

    http://www.zeppelin.it

    a web company

    Zeppelin Group

    and I remember well a cars / trains models store in Milan (Zeppelin - Viale Premuda)

    Please note that finding Led Zeppelin is not exactly the same as finding Zeppelin, because of the blimp story ...

    So I'll consider valid on this thread the camping only ... and that's name it's absolutely naive for a camping!

  3. Hi this is my

    I am collecting all the In through the outdoor covers on vinyl and I have 1 cover (or back cover) that is driving me crazy. I saw it recently in the black bound cd set where they show all the cover and back cover imagery but don't really give any liner notes to which matches with which/ I did a wikipedia search and saw all the covers and this piece was NOT one of them....

    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    (my apologies if this isn't the correct spot for this post...I wasn't sure if this would be considered trivia)

    I think it's a joke or you didn't check it carefully.

    This is the back cover of the japanese / european CD (vinyl-like reissue) 7567 92443 5.

    :blink:

    (and please, forget about wikipedia ...)

    once again the 6 covers

    Ok, here we go.

    The diamond album, as written at least, was the one with the secret message at the end ... and the owner was unbelievably stupid (let me say it, please).

    There's no connections between the diamond and the colored (purple) album, because the purple is a some kind of limited UK edition.

    This one figured above is a different one, is a mispressed dark violet and not the original purple pressing.

    It was murmured of a white (IV) album, as written on the Lewis' book but I've never heard or seen one (who has one out there?).

    It seems a mistake (by the writer) and not a real released album.

    Let me say also that all these albums have nothing in common with all the counterfeit colored albums that we can see on ebay (during the last two years, I mean).

    One official colored album known: the purple UK pressing.

    That's it.

    If there are more infos around there ... well, I don't know any.

  5. Nice pic Luke B)

    That looks like the type of place I want to be in right now!

    yessssss! unfortunately I'm not there again, too :boohoo:

    not in the best shape :yay: as during my 'rocker' era (I guess page 12 of this thread) ... but you know, I'm old :blink:

  6. relaxing somewhere in the world, probably Santo Domingo

    (this is a fake picture, I wasn't sleeping at all just acting ... :rolleyes: and thinking "yeah, I've to do some kind of led zeppelin discography on line" )

  7. Counterfeit? This album looks old. If they did a counterfeit it's a damn good one. :lol:

    Regardless, I love collecting stuff like this. Another oddity for the growing collection.

    yeah, I understand you: this is why there are soooo many colored vinyls in these days.

    There's a market for them and it seems that it doesn't matter if they are original or counterfeit. The really disappointing point is that the correct selling price is 10Euro (that's what I paid during a record fair, past year) but some people is ready to pay more and more and more ...

    I remember I didn't buy the triple colored vinyl of the O2 gig for 70Euro because I know someone else was selling it for 50 Euro: now on ebay is offered for 150 Euro or Pounds and that's a totally waste of money.

    Anyway, I put a new section on my discographies with a long list of counterfeit items: as usual, I didn't expect sooo many and ... more to come, for sure. :angry:

    I'm pretty sure I forgot a couple of faken single sleeves but I don't know where I saved the images ... :(

  8. Yeah I thought so too. :)

    I just picked it up on eBay a couple of days ago. The album was printed in Isreal... or at least that's where it came from. I should have it next week sometime and I'll post pics of it.

    Doubt I'll give it a spin because I have the recent release of III on 200gram vinyl. THAT sounds incredible.

    :blink:

    it's a counterfeit item (all the recent colored vinyls are so)

    the only original is the purple / pink IV from UK

  9. I don't have any autographs. I collect a little bit of everything when it comes to Zep though. I'm really close to having all their albums on first pressing. I only need LZ1, but I can't find an affordable copy of it. I'm not made of money and can't afford a few hundred for a first pressing of LZ1.

    A few hundreds? what kind of 1st album are you talking about?

    For that price I only know the UK turquoise (because it's fashonable not rare) and, of course, the US test pressing white label.

    Even the US 'purple' label is not more than 150$ (and it's pretty rare in vg conditions).

    B)

  10. They actually released that as a single (even for a minute)? Boy, thats news to me. 7"'s are my thing. If what you say is true, I have a new quest.

    that's the rumor ...

    but no original copy ever surfaced the market or ebay ( :D ) and I know nobody who have ever seen a copy

    but there's a catalog number SSk 19421 :rolleyes:

    Beware of the recent counterfeit copies sold for 10£ (more or less)
