Led Zeppelin-newly remastered

The new Led Zeppelin compilation sees the first remastering of their material for 17 years or so.

Oh and it sounds great,clarity and thump to the fore as Zep sound better than they ever did on CD.
Mothership was mastered by John Davis.

I guess the biggest bone of contention on this double CD is the choice of tracks, every serious Zep fan is going to find several favourites missing.

Lets hope this will lead to each studio album getting state of the art Redbook remastering.

I was at my local Barnes/Noble recently and they had Mothership packaged in cardboard w/DVD and a CD only version
which was packaged in standard plastic case. However, I noticed the Cd only version had the rounded
edges like I usually have seen exclusively on Sacd's.
Just on a whim, could this be a hybrid Sacd. Anyone feel
these surpass the page remasters sound wise.

I guess its time to dust these off for another listen,
my system has changed considerably since last listen to the 10 CD box. My recollection is that I was not at all
satisfied, but I will listen again and try to elaborate
on that. My Zep vinyl has been treating me well though.
Most all classic records 180 & 200 gram.
