Notes Re: Vinyl analogue to FLAC transfers

Well, I can post it right now, if you don't mind and were intending to do it anyway.
Seemed like the question had already been answered, though.
Here are the cliff's notes to save bandwidth, if anybody wants the full details
I can edit the post.
This info came from Robert Godwin's
"The Illustrated Collector's Guide To Led Zeppelin" 3rd Edition;
1990 Robert Godwin Canada
(as well as a few of my own notes based on pieces in my collection)

The blue bg with Jimmy in sunglasses and white suit playing the doubleneck.
I knew that one immediately.

"For Badge Holders Only"
L.A. Forum 1977/06/23
LP Label: Ruthless Rhymes
Company: Dragonfly
Matrix Numbers: RE ONE TWO THREE FOUR

S1: SA, NBFBM, OTHAFA, Black Country Woman; S2: SIBLY, TYG, BOE
S3: GTC, WS/BMSide/Kashmir, TU; S4: STH, WLLove/RnR*
*with special guest Keith Moon (doing something er other)

Colored vinyl = reissue but only 100 ltd ed.
also
Original Masters Re-issue Series, Matrix Numbers: BH1 1-4 = re-issue, different plates
(Robert Godwin doesn't mention any dragonfly lp labels in the 3rd edition)
I'm pretty sure this is an AUD recording.
-------------------------------

"Destroyer"
I'm not 100% certain of the jacket you describe, but this should be the SBD Destroyer.
They played Cleveland two nights in a row in 77 and both boots
are commonly known as some variation of 'Destroyer'.
The SBD is available for the first night, 4/27.
If the matrix numbers are DRGM 505 A-H you've got the US issued SBD Destroyer.
Robert Godwin says that audience noise has been added to the recording.
I don't have this one, so that's all I can say.

"Black Country Woman" is left off the set list on the jacket.
It should open S7.

First issue came in a carrying case of some sort.
Re-issue has no case and further re-issues are yellow and black.
There is colored vinyl as well.
R.Godwin says that the colored vinyl has the same Mtx numbers as the European issue.
The only difference being that one has crowd noise 'piped in' and the other doesn't.
Again, I'm only retyping (and slightly rephrasing) what I've read here.

FWIW the second show is generally regarded as a superior performance, but
save the whole band getting totally lost in Kashmir
(a---nd a few sticky fingers episodes here and there)

it's not as bad as some people make it out to be.
------------------------------------------------------------------

The sepia one is "Zoso80". I recognized this one right off the bat as well.
Mannheim Germany 1980/07/02
'Train Kept a Rollin' is on the record, but not listed.
It should come at the end of side 2 after SIBLY.

Though most of the 1980 shows are SBD, this one sounds like an AUD to me,
but it's a really good recording.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Eye Thank Yew" could actually be stuff from TSRTS soundtrack
recorded at MSG 1973/07/27.
OR
could be the re-issue of "Swiss Made".

alg's matrix numbers match the latter.
In this case it would be a
SBD
from Zurich Switzerland 1980/06/29.

I don't own this record, but This show is widely available.
It was the first Zep boot tape I ever got
(many years after buying a thin sounding lp version of Earl's Court... nice cover, though)
There have been several re-issues of the CD titled "Tour Over Europe 1980" even.

Robert Godwin points out that the cheap pirating* of not only the movie soundtrack
but also of the original "Eye Thank Yew" jacket is also detectable by a sticker that
covered the original song titles.

*my words


Again, if anyone wants this typed up in a more systematic fashion I can always
edit this post and include full setlists.
