Origin:
Back in the 80s and 90s, I used to do a lot of "tape trading". For the younglings, let grandpa explain: Before the internet, if you wanted music a friend had, that friend had to record his music onto a cassette.

Now, most people did "tape trading" for live music. I did tape trades for DJ service and white label mixes. Grandpa time again: You young kids have it easy, with your Serato and sample packs. In the "olden days" of the 80s, you would buy illicitly pressed "white label" limited records, where someone with a lot of recording equipment would do a homemade remix, and then get it pressed up on a limited run record, usually with a white label.

On a cassette, years ago, I got a weird Led Zeppelin megamix. It had no info. Other than knowing it was Led Zeppelin, I had no idea who did the mix, or even if it was available on anything other than a cassette.

Going through DATs, I found that back in the 90s I tried to clean up the cassette, and transferred it to digital tape (DAT). It still sounded pretty crummy. I was going to upload that recording here, but then after many minutes of Googling, I finally found what the mix was! It was a bootleg 7" single! A few bucks on Discogs later, and bam!

Trying to actually find this mix anywhere online is damn near impossible. It simply does not exist on the popular third party social media sites.

Now it exists online. Like it? Go search out the 7" single for yourself. Don't like it? Leave this page. Rather do your own mix? Buy some Led Zeppelin CDs (as vinyl SUCKS), and do your own mix. :)
