***Official Led Zeppelin Thread***

Now that it's clear there is no intention of releasing any more live shows in the deluxe version like they did for Led Zeppelin I, I have totally lost interest in these reissues. I don't want a bunch of rough version of LZ songs on vinyl that bad. I'm pretty disappointed that they didn't keep doing that. I was so happy to have that first one with live show included and thought they'd keep doing it at least for some of them.

Agreed.

AGREE-2.

I think they should've added a live show with each remaster like they did with LZ-1 too.

1. Physical Graffiti (only recently heard this one for the first time, instant favourite)

Houses of the Holy

Is that an official thing? The V for Houses of the Holy? I have never heard or seen it called that before.

Same.
I assumed he meant Houses of the Holy but everything after IV was titled.

Yes....because the name doesn't appear on the album.  It was originally called "Five" or V (by my clan at least)

Remember that In Through the Out Door came in a paper bag.....I still have all of that vinyl

Yes, and that paper bag had some kind of watercolour feature on it if memory serves, wherein if you painted it with water, it would turn into full colour. Is that right? Or was it the actual jacket that did that? One or the other... I think either way it was only a limited number that had the feature? But not totally sure. And I'm also not sure if any of the early reissues replicated it either. I have seen one of them in a record store, but someone had already "painted" it (which is essentially considered "ruined" from a collector's standpoint, lol).

I don't have this, Coda, or Presence on vinyl (need to fix that!)

From the Wiki entry on the album regarding the cover:

The original album featured an unusual gimmick: the album had an outer sleeve which was made to look like a plain brown paper bag (reminiscent of similarly packaged bootleg album sleeves with the title rubber-stamped on it), and the inner sleeve featured black and white line artwork which, if washed with water, would become permanently fully coloured. There were also six different sleeves featuring a different pair of photos (one on each side), and the external brown paper sleeve meant that it was impossible for record buyers to tell which sleeve they were getting.[9][a] The pictures all depicted the same scene in a bar (in which a man burns a Dear John letter), and each photo was taken from the separate point of view of someone who appeared in the other photos. The walls are covered with thousands of yellowed business cards and dollar bills.[citation needed] The photo session in a London studio was meant to look like a re-creation of the Old Absinthe House, in New Orleans, Louisiana.[9]

crazy....wasn't aware of that

LZ III had a real cool picture wheel in it

Facebook banned the Houses of the Holy artwork. What crap.

I only know because I posted the album a while back, and I recently got a message from Facebook that my image was graphic and had been banned.

Well, look at Facebook, acting like they have morals or something. Meanwhile, your data is being mined and sold to 3rd parties at an alarming rate and your privacy is being hacked. What a bunch of nitwits.
