Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3


Available on preorder through Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds. Remastered by Jimmy Page on Atlantic label. The fact they are available packaged with a CD is kind of a red flag for me. Hopefully they are sourced from the best available masters, and there is NO NO NO digital in the chain. Slab weighs 180 grams, $24.99 US!

Mothership is compressed? Uh, I don't think do. What would Jimmy Page hope to achieve? Do you think he caved to corporate big shots? Lol

"The CD."

I heard you the first time. I totally disagree. Sorry about that.
I thought Jimmy Page said this is the first time the original tapes have been digitally remastered since twenty years ago. That would seem to suggest this will be a new digital remastering of the original analog tapes. Am I missing something?
Does anyone know, wasn't Mothership just a taste of these albums that are slowly being released? I kinda doubt Jimmy Page would do an entirely new remastering compared to the one for Mothership six or seven years ago.
Low rider, thanks for the info, I finally have the new Led Zep II CD and will have a listen this morning.
