Regardless of the date, that's a great find. I paid $3.79 for an original Japanese 45 in 1978 or '79. That was pretty pricey back then but that was the only way I could get the song.

Cool Find! Your LZ collection just became a bit more complete, and it was a bit that isn't the easiest to find, either. Congratulations!

Was this 45 only pressed in Japan, or elsewhere, too? What is in the deadwax area? I know people pay premiums for RL pressings of some LZ LPs, but are there differences in this 45?

It's always fun when an LP comes with an unexpected bonus. This thread makes me wonder what "hidden treasures" may be tucked away in the sleeves of my latest batch of LPs. Have to start cleaning them soon!

. . . there are many copies of this "45 to found in the Amazon marketplace, with varying prices of course. (Also have seen more than a few on Alibris which has a very decent amount of used/new vinyl in their marketplace; not anywhere near the amount at Amazon though)

There was a US pressing of this. Very good sounding when you can find a nice example. The Japanese had better surfaces (very low noise)

Great find but I was expecting you would say you found a joint.

Going through some albums a year or so ago I noticed one was kinda thick
in the middle. Opened it up to find a dozen or so girlie centerfolds from the late 70's.

I figured some would think I found some Columbian Gold or Jamaican Red, don't know which find would of been better but I'll stick with the 45. Is "mint" an unplayed perfect record? Cause that is what I strongly believe this to be, but I have to spin it cause the grooves look so inviting.

That looks like what I have.

The sound is phenomenal. Best version of "Immigrant Song" I've ever laid ears on, missing that "hotness" on the LP.

I have an original US "Do What Thou Whilst" deadwax LP of III and the Classic Records LP. The 45 is just stunning.

Back on topic, my copy of Zeppelin III had the same 45 in it too.
