My dear young friend,

You are ABSOLUTELY never going to be a low-gen Led Zeppelin collector...



Have you never heard the term...."THAT WHICH PASSES FOR THE MASTER"....?

A Led Zep low-gen collector in Burbank coined that one.

It was a standard LZ low-gen term, until the advent of B/T and lying about generations became de rigueur.



good golly, young Spencer, you need to do a bit more study on the history of the hobby.



(However, Reggie, you are a goddam genius, for your neat and sussinct phrasing of the obvious....although it probably won't make you any friends among the trolls.)
