SteveAJones Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 A 45 rpm two-sided metal acetate test copy of Led Zeppelin's "Your Time is Gonna Come" has fetched $3600 on online auction site eBay after 40 bids. The bluesy track was from the band's self-titled 1969 debut album, and the item formerly belonged to a DJ who worked in the U.K. and South Africa, according to its Austin, Texas-based seller. Quote
kenog Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Austin, Texas-based seller? It wasn't Robert by any chance, trying to raise a few quid?

Glyn Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 Here's the original ebay auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-ZEPPELIN-2-sided-7-metal-ACETATE-Atlantic-Your-Time-Is-Gonna-Come-/111038681056?pt=Music_on_Vinyl&hash=item19da6bcfe0&nma=true&si=8YEv72ycjIfu%252BFQAHXlwMItUVWQ%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 It says the "the great guitar instrumental (on the flip side) from the first album that I don't know the name of the song", so I guess it's "Black Mountain Side" Quote
Pb! Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 There is some controversy regarding this seller and the authenticity of the acetates he's selling. It appears one German guy was unhappy with his Bob Dylan item, but that's the only neg in his feedback. Quote
Janvier Posted May 27, 2013 Posted May 27, 2013 I find it somewhat ironic that it says "sample record not for sale". Quote
The Only Way To Fly Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Dang! I wish I would have seen this. I check eBay for new zeppelin everyday! Cool investment piece... Quote
Silverseas Posted June 3, 2013 Posted June 3, 2013 You just need to be extremely careful on FleaBay. Lots of people wanting to rip you off. Make sure to check their ID history and obviously their ratings. Quote
