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!

I'm ok with digital remasters, but only if the original analogue tapes were used at some point to create a new master using modern equipment. Then they can keep remastering as digital technology evolves.

My 1969 Atlantic Zeppelin is MINT.
Had classic records copy and decided to keep an original.

The 2nd LPs are unreleased companion audio which include studio outtakes of songs from each of the studio albums as well as previously unheard compositions...

The 3rd LPs are live concerts that more than likely are embarrassing i.e. hard to listen to - really for completists...
