DoubleNecker Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 I inherieted most of my stuff, but I'm glad I have. I'd take vinyl over a cd any day. Well, most of my vinyls I bought for very cheap. Lot of excellent condition (overall) for 99 cents and $2.99. Some of the others cost more which are in plastic sleeves. I'd take a CD anyday, since I don't have the turntable set up and you can't take a turntable with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the others cost more which are in plastic sleeves. I'd take a CD anyday, since I don't have the turntable set up and you can't take a turntable with you. I get a lot of mine for really cheap, except the collectable stuff. I got my Zeppelin first pressings off ebay for about 100 for 8 of them, then I got Coda for 20, and I still haven't found Led Zeppelin 1 with a price tag I can afford.

LukeTheDuke Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Nice website. I didn't realise that the turquoise lettering led zep 1 is not so rare. I had always heard (or got the impression that) it was really rare. Edit: BTW thanks for sharing the pics well we can discuss about the meaning of "rare"; personally I consider a record rare if you can see / find a copy on a 10 years basys or it's well known that less than 100 / 200 copies circulated: that's rare! the turquoise is highly demanded, mostly from newbie and non Zep collectors so the price still grows more than the right one; that's a record for not more than 100£ but in near mint conditions. Don't forget that it supposed to be the first pressing so, for sure, not a limited edition (considering the success of the band coming from US). There are sooo many rare records from Singapore, Thailand, african countries, south american countries that are sooo hard to find ... but they rarely sell for very high prices the first promo test pressing of the US album is rare but I've seen more copies than I've ever thought was possible ... ! and with at least two different labels ...

Devil's Haircut Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Somebody drew in and corrected the timing for HMMT from 3:30 to 8:30 in that second set below. I wonder who was responsible for the initial mistake on that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zkman2002 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 ive got over 20 feet of vinyl, i know this because ive measured them to build dual custom album racks with arms that will come over the tops to hold turn tables. the first prototype didnt meet expectations lol and has been scraped, phase 2 is coming along nicely with a projected finish date of spring 09. these have to be super heavy duty to hold all the weight, as im using wood for the construction. why didnt i just stick to building bird houses?

Devil's Haircut Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I wonder who was originally responsible for the mis-timing on the label? I didn't notice that. I wonder too who corrected it. Ha....never realized why it was initially posted as 3:30 on the album, I know the vinyl had that listed, I'm not sure about cds. I don't have my cd booklet handy...but, here's something... "How Many More Times" (Page, Jones, Bonham) – 8:28 (listed as 3:30 on record sleeve deliberately by Jimmy Page in order to trick radio stations into playing the song.) touche ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_(album) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I have a copy of LZ II with a gold sticker that says certified gold record. Probably one of the first pressings. Got it at a tag sale. Lots of Zep bootlegs. I'd say around 300 total albums (not just bootlegs) Many 12" singles, including a lot of Robert's from the 80's, The Firm's Radioactive mix. I love that version. I'd have to really loook through it to see what rarities I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
