This is taken from the import release of the former Soviet Union's semi-official released vinyl series of foreign artists who were widely bootlegged and / or pirated there. In trying to calm the black market for smuggled sounds from abroad, they decided to press their own albums and make some money for themselves. It's a very odd "best-of" compilation with a few tracks from the third and fourth Led Zeppelin albums. It was released in 1988 along with several other artists titles packaged in the same way.

This is a fairly good sounding record, considering it was pressed halfway around the world and has travelled a long way stuffed in someone's luggage to get over to this side of the world.
