CD Bootleg Discography

      This chapter is dedicated to give a detailed description of the most significant CD labels involved in publicing Led Zeppelin's bootlegs. It contains not only professional labeled silvers, but also some professional and fan-made CD-R labels which used to produce (or still do) CD-Rs. I excluded many low budget labels and almost all of compilations, mostly due to the fact they do not show important value for most of the collectors and very often are reissues of material released.

      I especially focused on those CD labels, that publish Led Zeppelin's music only: Antrabata Reference Master (ARM), Immigrant (IM), Image Quality (IQ), Last Stand Disc (LSD), The Diagrams Of Led Zeppelin (TDOLZ), Watch Tower (WT), Wendy Records and a couple more. Many of titles published by those CD labels are priceless for Zeppelin's fans, because they contain material that hasn't been published before and was rarely (or never) reissued on other albums. The most significant of them is TDOLZ which has published many worth-getting titles.

      A separate category is dedicated to those CD labels, which, due to a very limited edition and horrendal prices, are wanted by many collectioners; CD labels like Akashic, Empress Valley Supreme Disc, Tarantura or Tarantura2000 may be mentioned here. The interest that they arouse is caused not only by the unique music material they contain, but also by the most beautiful cover designs. Especially Empress Valley may be praised for having published many tapes that are really hard to find or are rarely reissued.

      The last category is dedicated to previously mentioned CD-R labels, which are very often home-made, with amateur graphic designs (with the exception of Beelzebub Records, that issues its records in gatefold card sleeves, similar to professional issues). They often contain the same material as on professionally labeled CDs but due to their lower price and modern equalization are highly appreciated by many of collectors.

      The task of acquiring most of these pieces is a dauting and very expensive proposition, even for the well-connected collector. Without advocating the sale of this kind of product, I listed below those CD labels that I feel are worth searching out plus some that are worth mentioning due to their historical importance. The list is alphabetical and containing very detailed informations about every title.

      In the case of sound quality I've given similar rating system as on vinyl albums though I haven't mentioned detailed recording characteristics. Most of CDs have sound equalized a lot due to the professional mastering job so You must remember that original tapes have far worse sound than their CD reissues. Only few earliest CD labels released their titles in a similar quality as original tapes.
