| My LED ZEP 2 pressing anything special PS- probably a late 70's reissue Specialty Records. Scroll down in the Discogs release info on the album and you'll see it, I think. Note that in the comments re 'pulling' the RL from the market due to tracking concerns, discogs says the replaceme... | |
| My LED ZEP 2 pressing anything special First press in the U.S. should probably be a Sterling with interlocking small 'ss'- that's what you typically see on the 'RL' cuts, and presumably on the issues that came out after the RL got pulled. I think Czarivey is right about the catalog num... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Act, no not yet. The releases are in batches, the first, released at the beginning of June 2014, was the first three albums in various formats and combination packages with optional extras, bonus tracks, etc. Page had announced all this over a yea... | |
| Phase Linear 700 & 400 series II I had the original 700, and it did zap out, sent back to the factory- this was circa 1973 or so, and worked ok after that and sold it to go to tube stuff. My recollection was that the 400 (original version, i don't know about the series II) sounde... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Fjn- easiest way is to look on the label of the record- the Monarch's are distinguished by an 'MO' suffix after the catalog number. There are other indicia as well. There are several places on the web that discuss how to identify a Monarch, which ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I don't have any Classic pressings of LZII, but the Classic 45 of LZ 1 is an impressive listen; the Classic 33's of 1 and III are very good, though I still prefer the older Piros/Monarch remaster of LZ1 to the Classic 33 of that album. I did break... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl NB. "quite" should be "quick" in the above posting; I don't get why the 'edit post' function doesn't work!#$^*:) | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Thanks for the kinds words, Jeff. I haven't gotten around to III yet, but I did a quite comparison of LZ II which I just posted on the Hoffman forum. Here it is verbatim, omitting the picture:I just compared a very clean 'RL' SS/narrow side two (P... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Moryoga: to your point, and as more grist for bitchin,' after all the controversy over the Beatles vinyl set released a couple years ago derived from a digital master, they are now being released as mono pressings, purportedly straight analog, no ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl A few quick observations on listening to the first two tracks of LZ 1, admittedly a 'once through' with each of the different records mentioned below.The new vinyl sounds very good, quiet and has no apparent digital artifacts that stand out- somet... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Mike: I have never heard the Classic (either 33 or 45) of LZ II. At this point in the game, I'd probably just go for the 45 if it was find-able. My comments re the 'RL' really don't lean toward 'fuzzy' but I can understand 'muddy': at least on the... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Moryoga: I think the 'muddy' sound of LZII (at least on several tracks) is due to the huge amount of crude processing done when the album was originally assembled- you can hear the overdubs and the layering of different tracks- it is very evident ... | |
| What time do you wear? And what watch do you carry in your wallet, Albert? :) | |
| What time do you wear? Out of all the watches I've owned over the years, fancy and non-fancy, my go to is a big ol' Panerai, simple, with black face, white hands, i've replaced the tan leather strap several times from wear; I crashed on a motorcycle wearing this watch 1... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I won't mention Iron Butterfly. Rock on. :) |
