Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3

I purchased the 24-bit version of LZ 3 from HD tracks. There was a bit more background noise as compared to the boxed-set CD pressings of a few years back, but there was a lot more palpable energy.

Whart...I'm getting errors trying to link to Steve Hoffman.

I forgot about the LZ "Remasters" Box set from 1992, so it's very possible you are correct that earlier remasters were used. There was a lot of excitement back then when LZ was finally remastered.

Low, sorry, I've been on an iPad and those aren't really hyperlinks. You'd
have to copy and paste the whole data set in to get to the threads. But, if
you do a couple searches on the Hoffman site itself, with respect to LZ CDs
and remasters, I think you'll find the threads. PS: If I understand the
process, they would have used the same digital transfers but the mastering
for Mothership was different than the Marino CDs from what I read. I'm
gonna stick to vinyl, it's easier for my antediluvian brain to process
(figuratively speaking).

Well, I'm stating the obvious here, but the vinyl was cut from the higher res digital masters, so yeah, they should sound better than the cds, which are dumbed down to 16/44.

By the way, I'm digging my copy of III more and more as time goes on.
