The New Led Zeppelin releases


Hey Guys,

So I just bought the Jimmy Page produced lp of the Song Remains the Same and the CD version of Mothership.

I will start first with the Song Remains the Same. Jimmy Page has done an amazing job with this LP. I have never been a fan of this album until I got this version. I am not kidding when I say that I feel like I am at the concert when I put this album on. It's that good. You really have that "I'm there" feeling instead of "I am listening to a record"

Now on to Mothership on CD. This is one of the best digital recordings I have ever heard. It sounds the closest to LP as I have ever heard. Having said that when I compare each song to my Classic Records version on LP the LP version is still a good 40% better. That's still damn impressive given that it is my opinion that the best CD's only give you about 50% of what an lp will give you.

I can't wait to hear Mothership on lp and the eventual re-issue of all the albums with Jimmy Page producing them.

Jimmy Page, you are still "The Man" even after all of these years!

I just purchased Led Zepplin III last week. It has the pin-wheel cover just like the original. Plus today I purchased Led Zepplen II (Both 200 Gram) and Led Zepplin IV (180 Gram)
Don't worry There are still Zep Fans around
Actually, I was very interested in this post and kept on checking back over the past 24 hours to see what others had to say. When there finally wasn't much of anything, I simply went to Acoustic Sounds and ordered the vinyl of "The Song Remains the Same." I first heard this recording on, I'm thinking, a Radio Shack turntable the year it was released, which was the year I was graduated from high school. I loved the band back then, and I still love 'em today, though I'm betting that this recording sounds a bit better on my record spinner of today. Thanks for reminding me that I wanted to hear this again. -- Howard
Howard, the recording is going to blow your mind. I can't believe how good it sounds. If I was younger I would light up a "fattie" and hold up a lighter in the living room.
