I received the same response from both stores which was “all Led Zeppelin recordings are horrible”
The 2014 remasters are...ok.
The Barry Diament remasters from the 90s are pretty good but sadly Barry didn’t get to do Led Zep IV.
The rest aren’t worth talking about and let’s not even get started on the infamous Mothership compilation!
Led Zep are just another one of many artists whose best sound is still to be found on vinyl, but we can always hope that things might change one day.
If you want a chuckle check out the Dynamic Range Database and you’ll find one of the highest rated Pop recordings on there to be the 1952 Fred Astaire Story!
You can’t blame digital. It’s a great format no doubt, but one that you might feel is being criminally misused if you regard sound quality as important.
