    I just bought this set used and I’m amazed there’s no sleeve notes like the CD versions have.

        GrooveWelds
        Amazing Boxset!! Nice production of the sleeves and insert, the music is the very sharp, the boys are playing at there best in these sessions. Nice mixing and mastering, overall a very good value!!

          Does anybody can confirm that in THIS RE-issue the '71er Whole Lotta Love Version was cut 7 Minutes from Medley?!

            For the pedants out there, it's only missing:
            - White Summer/Black Mountain Side - 23.4.1970
            Jimmy probably considers this a solo performance, but it would have been nice to have

              Awesome set, but still missing:
              - What Is And What Should Never Be 19.3.1969
              - White Summer/Black Mountain Side - 23.4.1970 (although I reckon Jimmy might consider this a solo performance)
