Led Zep Reissue on vinyl

Great description Whart. Very similar to what I heard on my system. An audio friend is coming over later with the Classic Records to evaluate again.

Good job Whart.
Favorite Band!
Been listening to the I, II, and III (Classic Records) for years!
Overall "very good" condition, especially I and III which are closer to mint minus.
Reissues coming my way this week!
Will compare, evaluate, and post with personal opinion.

I look forward to your review, Kiko.

one must realize these tapes already lost HALF of information after over 40 years. analogue mastering is simply no-go or no way for successful release-remaster and so any of further re-issues. classic records reissue to me is very 'down south'. today's releases are solid C vs. original US or UK releases. Mo-Fi sucks all the way on all of releases and all albums of LZ or it's just i don't like the way mo-fi sounds on almost all of records they've made.

.

You are talking out your arse. 50% of info lost on the tape masters ? That is the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard. MoFi only released LZ2. I have RL, Classic 45 and 33 rpm, RL and 1st issue plum and orange UK LZ 2. They all have their benefits and sound great as long as you have great condition of each version.

I don't have any Classic pressings of LZII, but the Classic 45 of LZ 1 is an impressive listen; the Classic 33's of 1 and III are very good, though I still prefer the older Piros/Monarch remaster of LZ1 to the Classic 33 of that album.
I did break down and buy a first UK of LZIII (early, with the Peter Grant credit), so I'll be able to do a comparo of the new record against a Classic (33) of III and the UK first pretty soon.
I guess for ZoSo, et al, we'll just have to wait and see.
Fremer's review of LZII is online, if any of you are interested.
