Hello,
I got this gem through a vine here on TTD.
Thanks to everyone involved in making it available (especially GDLZ, the person who started the vine on TTD). It is one true piece of music. Some tracks are really worth a listen (and more) others will just be for completist (studio chatters and stufs like that), but all in all it's the second best way to discover Led Zeppelin : during recording sessions (the best way being live in your living room). It's so amazing, I can't help but sharing it.
Anyway, if it all goes well (meaning if I respected the TTD rules and I don't have to work to much to seed this one) I will very probably seed more. So stay tuned.
Enjoy !!!!! (listen to it as loud as you can, don't recode to lossless, don't make anyone pay for it, share 'till the end of days and by god, stop picking your nose ;-))
P.S. : I included ST5 an FFP Checksum (made with TLH), MD5 Checksums were there when I got it, so I left them.

Comments included when I got it: Japanese bootleg. Deluxe cardboard box with a photo of the burning Hindenberg on the front cover. The discs are packaged in white sleeves with the clear window on the front to allow easy identification. Also included is a four-fold insert with the track listing.
"This box was released in May 2007. It contains everything on Antrabata's "Sessions", Midas Touch's "Brutal Artistry" and "Brutal Artistry II", and Empress Valley's "The Lost Mixes EP Voume 1". Antrabata and the Midas Touch both titles were all three released in 1997, and Empress Valley in 2001. Scorpio doesn't include any of the new material released during the six years prior to it's release. Going back even further, they also excluded the extra 36 minutes of Battle of Evermore outtakes that's only found on TDOLZ's "Sessions" title from 1997. There is some minor material making it's debut. The first disc's track 13 has an extra half minute in the end over prior releases. Disc ten's tracks 7-14 provide an extra 17 minutes of studio room floor edit pieces for Ten Years Gone and Boogie With Stu. Scorpio's material was closely sequenced chronologically. They were careful to not miss the few bits of tape before/after tracks that have commonly been missed by others. The tapes are excellent quality, with the only exception being some static halfway through Stairway To Heaven on the final disc."
