@thebrokenrecord I just bought a VG+ on Discogs of the exact same pressing (at least based on description) I have. Since I liked the sound I figured I’d start there. I might give the Japanese pressing a try at some point as well. The RL is out of the question for me unless I accidentally stumble upon it on garage sale or some flea market which is near zero chance as I don’t do those.
Led Zeppelin II on vinyl
How good or bad are the remastered versions?
This in example…

I know it’s a digital remaster. Worth getting or should I hunt down a reasonably priced (if there is such a thing) US 1969 pressing?
Any thoughts from Zeppelin fans? What versions are good sounding? Not looking to pay obscene amounts of money for this…thanks!

@truebluephil what are the other copies you’re comparing the MoFi to?

@audphile1 Assuming the people behind this latest pressing have access to the original master tapes, and assuming those tapes are still in good condition, I personally have no issue with the fact there is a digital step in the process. Newer technology allows things like removal of the slightest amount of tape flutter and other unwanted noise (from what I have read). Using all the technology that's available today, shouldn't they be able to produce a vinyl product that surpasses anything produced in the past? There's a reason we're all not still watching old tube TVs. Why should recorded music be any different. If the source material is still great, I say bring it on. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. Cheers. |
