A bit pricey for me, and I hardly listen to LZ these days. I think they have fallen into the "past their use-by-date" in my mind. Still, thanks for the headsup.

Jake, you can't say that. It's like saying that cycling is past it's use by date. None of these things will ever happen.

[eman]

Do we know whose mastering these yet ?

 

Bit pricey for me too. 

 

I think they're doing the first 3 ?  Why not 4 I wonder ?

 

Might see what the extras are on the others and maybe pick one to invest in if I'm convinced.

Hackneyed. Like Stairway to Heaven.   

[Jake]

Interestingly, the thread over at SHF is now on page 41 before anyone has their hands on the releases. 41 pages of speculation and waffle. Classic.

[Chill3]

Jake WTF !

 

Might be Jake is getting old and past use by date

*If* this is part of Page's remastered rereleases, all Zep albums are getting the treatment, just not all released at the same time. Edited March 13, 2014 by LuzArt

How do we find out *if* it is Page mastered ?

I haven't actually heard any Page re-mastering myself but have read a lot of negative comments .

Yeah, wasn't the Mothership a Page remaster? By all accounts he is pretty deaf and this is a major problem. (I could be wrong on all counts, just going from my dodgy memory).

I'll await further information about this reissue before I pre order.

 

I love Led Zeppelin 1, it's a classic debut album.

He's lost his mojo since he left QLD, not his fault ; )

If it is Page remastered, stay well away as any decent he has ever done died when Bohnam died..  

 

If it is someone like Chris Bellman, rock on and buy it.

Looks like it was Page.   : (

Should have got Bob Ludwig!

Some more info here. http://www.ledzeppelin.com/buy/

There's 3 buying options for each : super deluxe, deluxe, original. Not sure of prices cos it links through to JBHifi and there's nothing up yet.

[mondie]

Reading on another forum the mastering was done by the same fellow who did Celebration day and Mothership, supervised by Jimmy Page but not done by him. Don't have either of those LP's so dunno if this is potentially good or bad

The link took me to Amazon. Super Deluxe box is $134.75US.

I don't have them either Simon, but I recall Mothership being panned.

Of course, I would have to hear them for myself. Might get Physical Graffiti when it comes out.

Here is a link showing what the companion discs will contain for each of the first three albums:

I have Celebration Day on Vinyl, CD and Bluray and I think the recording/mixing is pretty good for a live album.

I have also seen comments canning the recording ... so again different strokes for different folks.

 

Also have all of Led Zeppelin's studio albums that I bought back in the day (my favorite band growing up) however I have not had a chance to compare Celebratin Day to any of my old Zeppelin albums as they are (all my old record collection) all still packed away in a cupboard that I cant easily get to.

 

I would really be interested so see how the recording quality of my original LZ albums stack up to some of these 180/200g remastered/reissued that are commanding many hundereds of dollars each.

 

The recording quality/SQ would have to be stellar in comparison to the originals to be worth the over 1000% price premium being asked.

[metal beat]

Plenty of choices here.  from $25 to $140.        Luckily I have the Classic reissues, so no need to buy any more copies.

Well, the weight for one will have no positive effect on the sound quality for a start. Mastering FTW.

Looking forward to getting my hands on the single albums again, to replace mine that were nicked years ago. Also looking forward to an adjustment in the stoopid prices that ANY second hand copies currently get.
