Does anyone know if the U.S. album covers on the non RL Zep 2's are from the same tree as the RL's ?? Next question please!!

Edited 10 months agoOK folks if you can't get your hands on an RL pressing its not all doom and gloom as there are a bunch of other great pressings up for grabs:
UK A2/B2 pressings or PYE
Spanish Hispavox 1969-1981 pressings, specifically the ones cut by Marta Alvear. The best ones are usually the A7/B7, A8/B8 (considered the best), A9/B9, and A7/Bp5
1977 US reissues with the SD 19127 cut by George Piros (@t/GP in deadwax). Either the Monarch or Presswell pressings will do as long as they have a ST-A-691671/2-X
Late 70's Canadian Pressing with -JAMF stamped in deadwax
1979 German reissue with [GEMA] box on both sides of the label
1980 French reissue
Ones to avoid: Any non-RL US copy released between 1969-1975, supposedly cut from a cassette dub. -
Any help with a version that do not exist on Discdog. Atlantic–588198 1969. All that I find from 1969 also have the addition ATL-SD 8236, both on cover and on label, doesn´t exist on my copy. "Gema" is also missing on the label. On the left there are two other ref numbers, the top one is 0654319 S 2, the lower number is 0654600 S 2. The deadwax number written by hand, is ST-A-691672, and stamped numbering 0654319S2 and 06543371S1. The gatefold has the ref 588 198, and printed by E. J. Day & Co, London W1. Lots of it is correct according to 1969 but what version is this?

I have a copy I couldn't find (I went through every single LP, may have missed it though)
Australian Pressing, Festival Records, Green labels (not green and red), Stereo - SAL/933615 & Monaural - AL/33615
Side A on the record is a blank label - no tracklist. It has the Atlantic logo across the middle and the publishing information around the outer circle, but no Side 1 or any tracklist or titles present
I may have missed that copy somewhere, so apologies if I did, but I couldn't find it anywhere -
Can anyone direct me to the correct version please.
I cannot find a combination of
Label:-
Orange/Plum labels
Made in Gt. Britain
588198
Side B Baldwin credits
with sleeve:-
Gatefold
Gothic Print Finishers Ltd
I've trawled through all 40+ UK versions and none match Red/Plum with Baldwin with Gothic
Thank you

Now go hug atrain spotter. -
Hello there,
I have a copy led zeppelin
Side One 3. is Killing Floor (Burnett) on label. and Lemon Song on the gatefold cover
Side Two 2. Livin' Lovin' Maid (She's Just a Woman) on the label Livin' Lovin' Maid (She's a Woman) on the gatefold cover.
Matrix / Runout (A-side runout stamped ): 588 198 A // 6 ∇ 420 11 13
Matrix / Runout (B-side runout stamped ): 588 198 ∇ B 4 11 14
This can be considered the first press? -
I wonder if someone can help. I have a copy with the matrix's 558 198 A / B without numbers. These are etched not stamped. The song list features 'The Lemon Song' and also 'Livin' Lovin' Maid (She's A Woman)'. Clealy not the 'Wreck' version, but matrix suggests a very early pressing. Looking to sell it as was part of my fathers private collection, but want to know more about this release before I list it. Any info much appreciated. -
So "Living Loving Maid" or "Livin' Lovin' Maid"? Which is it? It seems to be split down the middle within the listings here. Anymore have a number for Page or Plant and can ask them? Either way, (She's Just A Woman)!
