Led Zeppelin-newly remastered

The new Led Zeppelin compilation sees the first remastering of their material for 17 years or so.

Oh and it sounds great,clarity and thump to the fore as Zep sound better than they ever did on CD.
Mothership was mastered by John Davis.

I guess the biggest bone of contention on this double CD is the choice of tracks, every serious Zep fan is going to find several favourites missing.

Lets hope this will lead to each studio album getting state of the art Redbook remastering.

The Page re-masters were darn good. I just listened to one of the cd's from the box set, it sounded really good. They are not recorded at a really high sound level so you have to turn the volume up a little. If the new re-masters are better, gee whoopee I'll buy.

I could not tell (if any) much improvement of the new Mothership CD's to the Page remasters

so what about the "soundtrack to song remains the same" remaster with 6 additional songs...also mastered at half speed...i think this is the one to get here...live music, and quality production/pressing? the last zep box set, with the kind of yellow/orange cover, and eacg cd cover was black with a print on it... was that mastered by page? just picked that up on vinyl...curious to the presentation.

Mothership.The cynical side of me says why? mostly the same songs as Earlier days, latter days, so I have read. So why? a bigger tweak of the old EQ?. Kerching went the cash register.
Roll on the next tweak cd set. One for the must haves only methinks.
