Me too.
I remember when saw the roadshow release of the picture Cleopatra in, oh, 1963 or so, at the State Lake theater in the Loop. When the overture music was playing the sound of a sistrum was startling clear from stage right. When I listen to the blu-ray disc now I can barely hear the thing. Now, were I remastering or remixing this recording I might bring the sistrum up where I can hear it which would mean that to someone with better ears it would be much louder than in the original mix, a mix which I assume was intended by Alex North and the Fox sound department (arguably the best sound and music departments in Hollywood).
But Kevzep and 427 say this problem was addressed by Page by relying on his experience and on others, presumably younger.
I saw this movie when it came out too and a 30 year old Elizabeth had this 12 year old panting. She was almost old enough to be my mother.

I just opened my albums about 2 1/2 hrs ago.( My wife bought me all 3 lps for my birthday.) I have listened to I and II,and just started III. I, like many here,am a huge Zeppelin fan. After listening,in my opinion,the remasters came out wonderful! They have a much richer sound than the originals. I am very much looking forward to the rest of the albums be remastered. And by the way,thank you Mr.Page!

I didn't presume anything let alone even heard it yet so presumption would be left to you at this point. I wasn't going to even get it, I had a similar opinion as you do. But that was a predetermined judgment without a sampling. So I'll hear if it is better, different, weird or what on my own. Not assuming what has been done can't be better or old is original and that's the best. It might be, it might be old and degraded along with our hearing.

:yes:
I called early in the week at my favorite local RS he wasn't getting his until Friday so I asked him to save me all three Supper Box Sets
I think he only was only able to get one or two sets one for him and saved a set for me or just me.
I'm the only one walking out the store with these until they ship more.
These are going to be hard to get very soon. In fact he said III is a very short press so they are not keeping up with demand out the gate. In September look for IV, V and House's to be out. With the high praise these are getting don't expect the next volumes to last long. These boxes are really heavy and a very nice elegant touch using linen on the boxes.

My note to Amazon customer service about shipping delays paid off. Seems they are putting all others ahead of those of us who pre-ordered and chose free shipping. Got em in 1 day after I asked.
From Amazon CS...
"Hello,
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding about when your order would ship.
Upon checking your order, I've found that you've selected Free Shipping as your Shipping Speed, and this is why your order was not shipped right away.

I just checked a local record store online (Dearborn Music) and the prices really aren't too bad for the remastered discs, especially if you opt out of all the added outtakes. $21.99 LP, $13.99 CD. They show as in stock too.
You can get .mp3 downloads for $9.99, but what's the point??? I guess I don't get why folks would pay more for a better sounding lesser format????
OK, I do. Convenience...

Let's see, 9.99 for a digital download, or $13.99 for the CD and make your own of whatever flavor you want. I think I'll take the CD, please! (actually, I took the LP's!)

So on HDTracks they have the Deluxe Edition and Remasters for I, II, and III. The Deluxe Editions have the bonus tracks and cost around $30 for any of the three. The Remasters have the original studio tracks only and cost around $20 for any of the three. Just to be clear, if outright fidelity of the original studio cuts is priority (comparing among ALL available formats) it's the 96/24 Remasters one wants...correct?
Thanks,
Michael

I guess in theory IF you have something to put all that fidelity out.

The three super boxes showed up yesterday. Beautiful sets and I've had time to listen to the III vinyl partially. Sounds good but I need to spend more time with it. I own the Classic Records 200g releases of all the Zeppelin plus various original pressings including a RL II.

Indeed. :thmbsp:
I think I might be able to pull it off. :scratch2:
