WPCR-13142 (fake) : 2009-01-01 This fake Led Zeppelin 40th Anniversary appears to be made in China. You would find it hard to pick a sealed copy of this as being anything other than than the real deal. Inside it is also remarkably similar but has some significant, obvious differences in packaging including: (a) the CD comes in a flimsy loose fitting bag (b) Physical Graffiti has no cut out windows and (c) III (3) has no turning wheel. The CDs also have the tell tale extra ring in the middle but this is much better disguised than usual. Unusually for fakes these have the catalogue number and an IFPI code (CC 303) on the silver side of the disc. |

anon-queen-opera : Home made box featuring art work from Queen's "A Night At The Opera". Images for this box were anonymously donated to the MiniLPs site along with the assurance that only a few of these were made for close friends. |
