    If you happen to have an outer sleeve with the sticker or even just the promo sticker, please reach out to me. Looking for the sticker for my copy. Thanks.

      I just saw a copy kind of similar to this sell on ebay, mono, with white DJ hype sticker, and same label, but it was on Blue translucent vinyl, not black... That said, it seems like an obvious bootleg.

        It's worth noting that it was nothing but a fold-down mix of the stereo master. Not a particularly bad sounding one, but some songs make it very apparent (Whole Lotta Love is basically pure bass). Out of the fold-down Zeppelin records, this is one of the worse sounding ones.

          How does it sound compare to the regular RL cut? Did he master this? Thank you

                Is it only the promo which has the "Stereo" imprint ?
                Because in that case I have that release but without the decal, I might be wrong though
