Buying Artwork

["Nathan Hevensone" <nhevensone@xxxxxxxxx>]

With the recent release of the supremely pointless Rhino Led Zeppelin
40th Anniversary box set, I have been doing a lot of searches for
artwork.

You know, I have the albums, insofar as I have all their studio albums
(Coda included) as used vinyl records (some scratched, though) and I
have the Complete Studio Recordings box set.  I also have TSRTS on CD
and DVD, both the original and remastered release, I have the BBC
Sessions and How the West Was Won, I have the 2-Disc DVD, and I have
some of the singles on CD.'

But you know what I want?  You know what I'd LOVE?

Artwork!  I'd love to get the rest of the "In Through the Out Door"
vinyl sleeves, but I don't need that many vinyl copies of "In Through
the Out Door".  I'd love to get the Led Zeppelin Japan sleeves, the
1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation sleeves, etc.  Sure, I need to get NEW
vinyl (and 2 copies of each, one for play, and one for collection),
and yes, I need "The Song Remains the Same" on vinyl.  But I'd love
the artwork.

And not just for vinyl sleeves, but for CDs and bootlegs, too.  I have
some CDs (not Zep) that have different artwork versions, but I only
have one version because I bought the CD.  So why I can't I just get
the other versions of the artwork, since I already have the CD?

And what about Bootlegs?  I've bought two silvers total.  I don't need
to buy anymore because I pretty much have most of what their is for
Led Zeppelin at this point, thanks to trading, torrenting (when I
could torrent), and direct downloads.  I would LOVE the artwork and
cases as they came from those Japanese labels, though.  Why can't I
just get the cases and artwork?  Why does it HAVE to come with the
music?

Personally, I feel artwork and cases and vinyl sleeves and such should
be sold separately from the music.  Not in all cases, of course... I
mean, just as an option.  Maybe an online store that just sells
artwork, and a separate one that sells bootleg artwork.

Do either of these stores or markets exist?  Can anyone point me to one?

If not, what are your thoughts on the idea in general (in other words,
I'm kinda hoping to start a discussion on the idea, here... :D)?
