Special thanks to "tt" for compiling the best sources!

"Featuring for the first time the best available sources with the rare encores "Gallow's Pole" and Eddie Cochrane's "Weekend", this new compilation finds Led Zeppelin near the peak of its concert history, marching across their homeland during the Winter of 1971, with the soon-to-be famous fourth album just hitting the record stores.

The scene is St. Matthew's Baths in Ipswich and the concert is being held on temporary flooring over the swimming pool, a situation not lost upon Robert Plant as he comments: "I don't know whether the 12-foot end's this one or that one. God help us! I'm sure you must have had a Town Hall! It's gonna be a silly night tonight. We'd like you all to feel at home. Just think of the drop beneath you and the drop that might come eventually!"

Those concert-goers, perhaps because of their precarious position, were rewarded with one of the most historic shows in Zeppelin's history. Now, almost 30 years later, sit back and enjoy a night at the "Gallow's Pool"."



Lineage: My CDRs (thanks to Patrick!) > EAC (secure mode, offset corrected) > WAV > FLACFrontend > FLAC level 6

Scans, flac fingerprints and shn tool txt included.

Note: Disc 1 track 8 had a glitch (presumably introduced when copying on CDR) which Jim was so kind to fix for me, thanks buddy!

Enjoy
