Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3

For giggles I compared my std pressing of 2, cat. # SD19127 with the 180G Classic. According to Discogs the std press is a First Press. I usually prefer Std pressings, but not here. The Classic is much more fleshed out, and open. Really not even close. I was going to take out my 200G Classic, but I wasn't up for it tonight. Classic did a great job. I have never heard the RL or a First UK, but I'm real happy w/ the Classic.

the Stairway 45rpm is supposed to be superb. I am envious of that.

I have the Classic 1,2,3,4 and PG. No need for me to search anymore:-)

enjoy yours :-)

IMO, it is safe to assume that remastered from the original masters really means, a digital remaster of a 24 bit copy of the original analog tapes. I see no evidence that they are using the analog master for this reissue and cutting a lacquer from the remastered (in analog) master tapes. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Nothing is going to beat the CR issues which were mastered from the analog masters...no digital in the chain.

the bonus material is ho hum
1 new track and 3 outtakes

no Hey Hey What Can I Do bundles with the III second disc

hopefull they do a good job and maybe the Classics Records prices go down some

if they mine the outtakes on Physical Graffitti
"Swan Song" early "In the Light" that will be worth buying

I heard you the first time. I totally disagree. Sorry about that.
