Classic Records Zep series ?


Classics' site isn't working for me, but it appears in poking around that the first 4 Zep re-issues are available in both 180 and 200g vinyl -- with the expected price differentials.

Is this correct, and is this just working the: 1) re-issue market, and: 2) the heavier-is-better angle? Kinda like that stuped 89 octane gasoline?

Chatting with the nice fellow at Elusive Disc revealed that the 180's were the first release of the Quiex formulation. The current 200's are the Quiex SV-P. Allegedly to match the thickness of early Blue Note LP's.

There's little I won't do, but fiddling with VTA on a per-Lp-basis is not gonna happen. Hopefully, I have a VTA tolerant cart that will allow a comprimise position.

Ignoring the artist, the $30 re-issue price also bothers me no end.
