There isn't one as far as a I know, aside from what I have compiled on my own. Essentially, they were officially licensed to produce posters, calendars and t-shirts. Myth Gem, as a I recall, was a subsidiary of Bill Graham's Winterland Productions. I doubt very much the band or their attorneys still retain the original licensing documents on file. Anything Bill Graham had on file was likely destroyed in May 1985.

zeplz71 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A guide for all official merchandise post-1980 would be interesting. I was looking up Mythgem on google and shows it's a Led Zeppelin owned corporation. Bill Graham would only have been granted a licence for a certain time to produce merchandise through Winterland, which I'm sure is how it works to this day with current licensee companies.

Makes sense, they (Myth Gem, Ltd) were/are a royalties collection company as opposed to a manufacturer of merchandise. Essentially a licensing agency. If I recall correctly, one of the Myth Gem, Ltd posters I have there are two versions, one with a Winterland Productions licensing credit at the bottom and one without. I don't recall any official Led Zeppelin merchandise post-1980 until the incorporation of Myth Gem, Ltd. on 6th March 1984. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvlz2 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 (edited) The black light poster on the right of this picture is from Myth Gem LTD and was released in 1997. It's called Earth Rift. Edited July 23, 2023 by luvlz2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
