Zeppelin on vinyl


I just noticed that Acoustic Sounds is listing all the Led Zeppelin reissues by Classic Records as "limited stock." Anyone know what's up? I assume that they are going out of print. Shall I assume further that they are to be replaced by something newer, better, more expensive? Thanks.

Licensing rights expired. Universal (the license holder, IIRC) is now issuing a lot of vinyl directly but no word of new reissues of the LZ titles Classic has issued.

As an example, see the new Warner Brothers web site: Because Sound Matters.

The LPs issued so far by Because Sound Matters have received very good reports. At least some are being mastered by Steve Hoffman and Kevin Grey. However, I wouldn't assume that all vinyl issued by one or another Universal subsidiary will be of the same quality as these coming from Because Sound Matters.

Jaybo, thanks for the correction about Warner Music. I never can keep straight which labels are owned by which of the major conglomerate record companies these days.
