Michael Fry Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I've been trying to collect rips or rip my own copies of all the mono Zep I can find. Yes, I know they are fold-downs but still would be nice to have a complete collection. These are the few proving rather elusive: 1) the Brazil or Australian mono Led Zeppelin I 2) the Mexican mono Led Zeppelin IV 3) the rare mono promo single of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You + Dazed And Confused released back in January 69 4) the mono promo of Over The Hills And Far Away 5) and the mono promo of Hot Dog. Anyone able to help? I have the following in case anyone wants a link: 01) Good Times Bad Times (mono single) 02) Communication Breakdown (mono single) 03) Whole Lotta Love (mono single) 04) Whole Lotta Love (mono single edit) 05) Living Loving Maid (mono single) 06) Gallows Pole (mono unedited promo) - with an extra 10 secs at 3'55 that were edited out of the album version 07) Black Dog (mono promo edit) 08) Stairway To Heaven (mono promo) 09) Rock And Roll (mono promo) 10) D'yer Mak'er (mono promo edit) 11) Trampled Under Foot (mono promo edit) 12) Candy Store Rock (mono promo) 13) Led Zeppelin II (mono promo) 14) Led Zeppelin III (mono promo) 15) and Houses Of The Holy (mono promo) Just let me know - happy to share - but some help completing it as an archive would be fantastic!

right-there Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Hi Michael. What a fascinating byway to wander down. In 2024 we have so many technological options it's good to be reminded that mono was once all there was, but the thrill of laying down hard cash (another refugee from times gone by???) to pick up the latest Zep music, and then watching that stylus arm lower onto vinyl, a beat, and "whoaaa!!!". That first note/opening riff heard thrill still lives in a not so distant byway in my memory, and clearly yours, too. Good luck, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Nice collection you've got going! I'm curious, have you tried searching online archives or forums dedicated to Zeppelin collectors? You might find some leads on the elusive ones you're missing. Would love to get my hands on that Gallows Pole mono promo with the extra 10 secs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched on all the archives and sites I can think of but no luck yet, not even Royal Orleans. Yeah, those extra 10 secs are pretty damn good!

Glad you're so Interested. Lots of people do not have the same love of mono as me. I do sorta get why!🤣 Do you know of anywhere I might not have looked? Tried YT, Soulseek, BlackBeauty, Myzuka.club, Royal Orleans, Israbox, archive.org. I'm outta ideas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an unusual track choice for an EP with 3 hard rockers on! Such a shame you can't rip your best quality LZ1. Thanks for all the extra info though. I'm learning a lot!
