June 3rd Led Zeppelin

[SimplyOrange]

Here's the three 2CD Deluxe editions, they have a booklet with some photos I have never seen before.
They have done a really nice job of the artwork.

They have even included the spinning wheel, which actually spins in the cover, pretty cool......

I'm going out this morning to buy the Super Boxed 2nd album Vinyl edition with the 72 page book and the HD download code......way overpriced, but Led Zeppelin's music has and still is such an important and integral part of my life, I can't not have it!!

I got the guitar player magazine which has a neat interview with Jimmy......

I caved and bought all three on CD (Deluxe Editions). BarnesandNoble.com is having a promotion, something like 'buy two and get the third off'. So I got all three for around 29.99 plus tax if anyone's interested. They normally sell for $14.99 each.

Okay, so i went and bought the Super Deluxe edition Box set of Led Zep II
today.....

The vinyl sounds AMAZING, I love it, they have really excelled with the mastering on the vinyl. It is THAT bloody good!!!:thmbsp:

I am currently downloading the HD file of the album (96khz/24bit).
Its got about 20mins to go and then I'll have a listen to that.......

I have to say, I am so relieved now I have heard it all.....they really have done such a great job of preserving what Led Zeppelin was all about....

Brilliant!! and the book that comes with the box set is really cool, it has a lot of pictures I have never seen before, and I thought I had seen them all!!

I'm the first to get all skeptical when it comes to Led Zeppelin, and I must say I was horrified at the mixing and mastering of the 2007 O2 London show....

So I went carefully here, got the CD's first, was blown away by that, so I simply had to get the Super Deluxe edition of Led ZepII, I mean, I just love them, the music and all things Zeppelin.....

I was really blown away by the vinyl, it was like hearing the album for the first time again.....

Don't pass on it, if you are a Zep head, get in there and taste it, the companion discs with the working versions of the Led Zep II and III albums is so raw and awesome, I love it, I had my system fully cranked today!!!

I havent looked at all the diferent sets and offerings, which one shoud I get?

I guess you havent been seeing my BT listings?

Not sure if you're a digital guy or analogue, but there's formats for all......

You can get just the original album remastered, in CD or Vinyl.

Then there's the deluxe set which is the album + the companion disc. The companion audio for the first album is a live concert in Paris 1969, the audio is okay, but its cool to hear the band so on fire, they must have been scary to see live back then....
The companion discs for the other albums are alternate versions of the songs on the albums, some working versions with no vocals, there is some really nice fresh stuff the second album, the alternate whole lotta love is off the chart, as is the ramble on and something called La La on the Led Zep II companion disc
The third album companion disc is the same, it has working versions and a few ideas that never made it on the album, ultra fat version of Out on the tiles, and a raw as all hell version on Since I've been loving you which will have the hairs on the back of your neck standing up....

If you are a musician like myself, you'll love the companion discs, so you should get the deluxe versions....(I seem to remember you are a muso)

There is the SUPER deluxe set which has the LP's (180g), the CD's and a CODE to download the High Definition version (24bit/96khz)....
Now i bought this version of II, and the vinyl blew me away, its so bloody good.....
BUT, the high def audio is another thing altogether, holy crap its another level again!!
Just finished listening to it through my multitrack recording program, which replays faithfully without coloration....
Yeah, I had my mouth wide open in awe a couple of times, it was like the band was in the living room with me!!

there's the SUPER deluxe Led Zep II box set there......with the book which has a bunch of awesome pics

the two LP's

and the two CD's with the card which has the code for the HD download

I can't wait for IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti which is next.......Oh my god I may explode!!

Kev, take control man lol. Now you've got me excited about my set I reserved here in Montreal they will available on on Monday

Thanks for that. I just ordered from BN and saved over $10. I will not get them on release day but that is no biggie.

Ya Kev is supper stoked about this.:ntwrthy:

I see now that each album comes with its own box set, nothing with all three together. I have also heard, to be released the 2nd or the 3rd, I can't see them doing it here in the states on a Monday or Tuesday. Plus Kev has bought his on the 1st so I don't know. One of my local RS has been always selling me new releases just prior too if he has it. So today I will see what he has and if it's avalibal.

 

[turbomustang]

this is a question for those that are pre ordering from Amazon -I really want to pre order all three box sets ,my question is do they charge your card immediately or when they ship on release date ?

 

[stoutblock]

Sounds like I will have to make more room in my Expedits...

A bit of Zep trivia:

June 3 marks the anniversary of their disastrous, rained-out and riotous concert in Tampa, Florida on the 1977 tour.

That's the first thought that entered my head when I saw the thread title. I was there. They played 3 songs, and it wasn't until the last one the mix was dialed in.

I don't blame them for stopping. It was raining, and the shelter above the stage was leaking badly. No wireless mics/guitar transmitters in those days; they could easily have been electrocuted.

I should have known it would be disastrous... we were teargassed buying tickets at The Orange Bowl by the City of Miami police!

What do you think about the 24/96 downloads?

No problem :yes:

 

[Gregoire]

I remember like it was yesterday...

If you remember it, you didn't do it right!

 

[Chubba]

Kevin,do you know if the vinyl is analog or digital based?

 

[lanwanman195]

Just ordered the Deluxe CD sets from www.bn.com with the buy 2 get 3rd free deal. All 3 for 32.xx including tax and free shipping. Now I can just pick up the standard record albums and save a pretty good chunk of cash. That will make the boss happy.

I'm curious to see how much difference there is between these and the 1990 CD box set I have.

 

[kevzep]

Kevin,do you know if the vinyl is analog or digital based?

That's a very good question, we'd all love to think the vinyl is analogue all the way, but sadly, I would think the original tapes were most likely digitized, pretty standard practice.
But that said, its how they treat it for vinyl presentation, and I have to say the vinyl is really nice, you know some vinyl remasters Iv'e heard just sound like CD's, but its certainly not the case here, it seems they've given a lot of attention to how it performs in vinyl format....

I was going to buy the sets like that too, but the lure of the high definition audio download was too much to resist.....
And the book is awesome, it has a lot of pictures I have never seen before, and nicely presented too.....if you're into that sort of thing....which I am....
I think the Super Deluxe edition box set is very pricey, but I had to try it, I wanted to hear the high definition audio.....and I'm glad I did....
I'm just deciding whether I just get the vinyl of I and III or whether I just bit the bullet and get the Super Deluxe of I and III........

I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how much better and more "Led Zeppelin" sounding these remasters are...
I've deleted my I, II, and III 1993 remaster box set from my library now, the new ones sound so damn good.....

I can't wait for the next release.....:thmbsp:

I hope they can fix up the fourth album, because that is a particularly shitty sounding album.....especially the tracks they recorded at Headly Grange...

 

[bluesky]

Wish I had something that I could just keep repackaging and reselling, and reselling, and reselling, and reselling, and reselling, and reselling, and reselling, and reselling ...

Which zep music is the best music? The Original LPs work just fine. 'Sound of an era'.

But then again...maybe it's just me.

Guess the newer, newer, newer, newer, newer, newer, newest, box set is good for someone who doesn't have any zep or is just starting out on zep.

It 'better' sound outrageous.
