****NOTE I AM NOT RUNNING THIS TREE PLEASE READ ENTIRE MSG FOR FURTHER INFO****

Since I'm a sucker for the artform produced by Led Zeppelin, I'd
thought I'd roll out a Tree in the middle of doing 4 leaves worth of
that great tome of work, FTLOFBO!

So here goes. The following is an amalgamation of emails that forms
the history behind this Tree and how Wayne Catalde sourced the tapes
for Winston's remastering

The tapes used came from a member of the LZtrees group, Wayne
Catalde. Now the majority of the set has a gen history of: Mike
Millard Master=> Maxell XLII C-90s=>1st gen not marked=>CDR.
Andy also used an alt source to fill in the TYG cut. It was taken
from a DAT that had the complete alt TYG source, Andy can confirm it
is from the 6/21/77 night.
No problem.. Andy told Wayne that alot of people will think he just
ripped off Genuine Masters. These are totally different than the
Master>VHS source GM used.
Andy and Wayne both did some research and both felt that Waynes
tapes held the best sounding version of this great show so with that
in
mind Wayne wanted to get it out to the fans.

The person Wayne got the tapes from worked at a tape outlet that
Millard bought his supplies from. I guess they made a deal, Free
blank tapes for Millards recordings. I have worked with alot of
Millard low gens, Mike always marked them in some way.. these have
not been marked.

I transfered the Cassettes using a Nakamichi BX300 into my computer
using a ECHO MIA soundcard and Samplitude 7 Professional. I cleaned
them up using Sound Forge 6 and Enhanced them using Samplitude. They
were transfered and remastered @ 44100 hz at 24bit.

I also used an alt source to fill in the TYG cut. The person that
lent me that wants to remain anonymous.
We elected to stay away from the "LTTE" titles and would like to
keep it to "Mike the Mike tribute series" with full credit going to
Wayne.

>From what Wayne was told when the show was given to him in the mid
80's is that these tapes are first generation taken right from
Mike's master.

So you must go to the LZ_Trees Yahoo group:
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/LZ_Trees/ and sign up if you
aren't already a member.
Once there click on the Databse link on the left of the page, seek
out the Forum table and add your details. There are a couple of
examples on what is required of you when you fill it out.

Artwork can be found in the 'Files' section.

All methods of distribution are catered for as per my previous Trees.

I'll leave this run for 14 days hence.

A call to arms: I would like 2-3 European Branches and 4-6 USA
Branches to contact me after signing on if they wish to act as
Seeders to help distribute this. Once you are comitted I can get
your discs to you to avoid delays once the structure is posted.

Well hopefully that covers it, enjoy everybody.

Cheers,
Les.
