led zeppelin.

so as i'm sure many led zeppelin fans have done, i have been waiting patiently for a "real" box set to come along, or at the very least, fully remastered individual releases. the mid-90's "remasters" sets sounded way better than the original CD's, but still horrible by today's standards. the "complete studio recordings" was the same quality but way overpriced and lacking "the song remains the same" (shit, but still part of the catalogue).

so i heard about this new box set and got excited. but then, led zeppelin took a shit on me again. as it turns out, this box is apparently fully remastered, and the packaging looks great with mini-LP replica sleeves and all. however, there are ZERO bonus tracks. not even the extra tracks they JUST released on "the song remains the same" reissue. not even the 4 from the other box sets. zip.

also bullshit, apparently the japanese release is SHM, better quality but buying imports here costs twice as much.

led zeppelin really shit the bed on this one.

so fancy packaging, A+. content, C-. overall, B.

probably not getting this one. at least not while it's $150 dollars.

still waiting for the beatles remasters.
