There's a place in Norfolk, VA that usually carries their stuff. Small 
shop, caters to collectors, and they are willing to do mail order, 
although you'll probably have to send money first. Probably worth giving 
them a call. Even if they don't have it, they may very well be able to 
get it. One of the owners once told me he knows someone with warehouses 
of out of print stuff. Of course, it's now been about 3 years since the 
last time I called them. Soon as I get money again, I should probably 
give them a call myself.

Owners are pretty cool people, too. If I lived down there, I could 
easily see myself just hanging out at the place. :-)
KN> I only really started to grok Zep in the 1990's, once I realized the
KN> drums were supposed to sound like that and
I was relatively ambivalent about them until a friend suggested we see 
them in concert back in 75. My first concert, ever. In St. Louis, on the 
Physical Graffiti tour. First time I ever heard anything off the album 
was at that show. When Kashmir started, I remember looking around, 
wondering where they hid the orchestra. :-) I came away from that 3-1/2 
hour non-stop show a very dedicated Led Zeppelin fan and extremely glad 
my friend had had such an excellent idea. 
KN> play like that, and even he can't do it right every time. But when
KN> it works, as it did when I saw him, it's absolutely mindblowing.
Yep, and the band as a whole was definitely on that night in St. Louis. 
I saw them a second time in 77, up in Chicago. That show was terrible 
and cancelled after about a half hour. To date, I still haven't seen a 
show to match, much less surpass, that night in St. Louis, however.
