Led Zeppelin-newly remastered

Visited my local music shop and saw it on the counter, then came home and saw this thread !

Like you said, there's way too many good tunes for a comp, but it's a fortunate start.

I'll go for the 1st, 2nd and Houses of the Holy when they get released.

Found this: it comes in several package types.

I am guessing for Zeppelin`s 40th anniversary Atlantic will reissue Zeppelin`s catalouge remastered with studio outtakes as bonus tracks.Page has said in interviews he wants to release the outtake material.There has been wide speculation the 1970 Bath festival and 5 nights multitracked from Japan 1971 will see the light of day sooner than later.All of these have leaked as bootlegs and fueled greater demand for the real thing.

It appears, from the MODERNGUITAR link above, that the Page's early '90s digital transfers of the analog masters will be used for the various Mothership digital and vinyl offerings. I'm wondering which source was used for the Classic records reissues. The Classic Zep. 1, 2, 3 releases were OK, while Houses of the Holy was truly dreadful. It would be simply incredible and truly exciting to get Zeppelin's catalog remastered from the original analog masters by, say, Steve Hoffman and pressed with a high level of QC by RTI.

The 180g 4 lp limited edition box set, remastered half speed at RTI by Stan Ricker is now due for release on 31 March 2008.
