The material on the companion disc presents a portal to the time of the recording of Led Zeppelin. It is a selection of work in progress with rough mixes, backing tracks, alternate versions and new material recorded at the time
Runouts are entirely etched and where Optimal Media GmbH's "faintly inscribed "geometric" marks" appear, these are mirrored:
Variant 2: Side A '-=1', Side B '△+1', Side C '==1', Side D 'T=1'
Variant 3: Side A '1=-', Side B '▽+V', Side C '⟘+V', Side D '11△'
Variant 4: Side A '++', Side B 'V/\/\', Side C 'II/\', Side D 'V++'
Due to the nature of the hand etching, it can sometimes appear that there is a space between the letters and numbers of the Optimal Media GmbH identifiers. However, as per the Optimal Media GmbH label page, their runout scheme "is in fact always without spaces."
