Led Zeppelin - MUDSLIDE
TRADE MARK OF QUALITY TMOQ 71040
Mega Rare Led Zeppelin Live MUDSLIDE LP. According to the Led Zeppelin boot bible this was pressed (Orange vinyl) in a run of only 150!!!
Information I gathered about the Orange vinyl LP.
Focusing on a March 21, 1970 show at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada, Mudslide was among the more highly regarded bootleg LPs by Led Zeppelin that surfaced in the 1970s. The original version came from Trademark of Quality, one of the 1970s' top bootleg labels. Vinyl reissues of Mudslide were subsequently provided by Mushroom and other bootleggers, and in 1998, the illicit OMS label came out with a CD version titled The Ultimate Mudslide. It's easy to understand why collectors held the old Mudslide LP in such high regard -- the sound quality is excellent, and Zeppelin is triumphant on gems that include "Heartbreaker," "Communication Breakdown," "Whole Lotta Love," and "Since I've Been Loving You." Unfortunately, the songs are out of order on this LP -- something that OMS claimed to correct when it put out The Ultimate Mudslide. But even so, Mudslide is a bootleg that serious Zeppelin fans were thrilled to acquire. Because vinyl versions of Mudslide are incredibly difficult to find now, collectors should keep an eye out for the OMS reissue.
An american dealer has said that the last Orange Vinyl Mudslide went in the USA for $825 dollars

My album is the orange vinyl with the foiled sticker Trade Mark of Quality on the front and from what information I have been able to gather there were only 150 presses made. I did not use any noise reduction or equalization on the rip, so this is exactly how it sounds. This album has only been played 3 times since it was given to me back in the mid 70's, once by my cousin and She bought it brand new and the other by me when I copied to audio tape back when I first received it, any pops you hear are few. Its been sitting in my collection until now and ripped for CD. This is a side1 and side2 rip with no track separations keeping the live continuity going. I have included along with the Flac the MP3 and some scans of the cover and LP sides.
Enjoy fellow Led Zeppelin Lovers.
To the sunny hills of long ago!
