Least compressed

Looking for recomendations for least compressed (wide dynamic range) rock - in particular Zeppelin. Only recomendations of cds that are readily available (i.e. via amazon) - not worth time and effort to me to look for hard to find gems. Aerosmith - etc also welcome. Please identify as precisely as possible.

Owner of a Lonely Heart by Yes is a nice mix but try Midnight Oil Earth Sun and Moon or INXS

For something recent check out Booker T and the Drive by Truckers with Neil Young - Potato Hole - Pound it Out.

The latest ACDC - Black Ice is good too.

Shadorne: "Frozen Wasteland" very nice; lyrics are spot on. I do have Black Ice and just recieved the Aerosmith box. Agree, some of the better remasters of rock.

Check out other masters by Doug Sax here

The Aerosmith version is this one - it was originally done for SACD.

I agree with Midnight Oil's Earth Sun and Moon. I use that as my reference disc, especially Song 7, which has some of the best slam ever. I also like Neil Young's "Eldorado" and "Complex Sessions" (two "to the trade" CDs that can be found on eBay), Booker T's Potato Hole (amazing production), Willie Nelson's Teatro, Santana's first album (in original vinyl--can turn that one to "10"), Paul Kelly's May 1992 and his recent downloadable "A - Z",
