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

Is this the same as what was mentioned in the modernguitars web article, or yet another (different) vinyl release?

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

Anyone maybe know what the quality of Page's original digital transfer was at the time? I'm guessing 16/44.1, so I'm wondering if the remastering will be more of making it sound different rather than better.

I hope the half-speed versions by RTI/Stan Ricker are better than other titles they have done. I am not a fan of the MFSL titles SR did and the Steely Dan Aja is a joke. The only one I like is the ZZ Top Tres Hombres.

Tonyptony -- I'm assuming it's the same as listed on modernguitar website -- the date of release has slipped into 2008.
Fbhifi -- couldn't say for sure -- as I can't seem to find definitive information on which masters.
Rlawry -- Couldn't agree more.
