(9.3 MB WAV file)</a> 1. Barry Diament's mastering on the original CD 2. Remastered LZ II 3. Mothership 4. Classic Records LZ II LP Listen to the kick and bass and how the low end thins out as the clip progresses. Also the continuing increase in the upper mids makes it sound a bit sharp. This new release makes me love Barry's version even more! I’ve compiled four versions so you can hear the differences and judge for yourself.

All my feelings about that band aside, that artwork is great, I'd love to have it as a poster. I am partial to black and red :) I’m with you on Led Zeppelin in general, and I’ll also say that while most bands are influenced by blues, Led Zeppelin basically just appropriated and ripped off the blues.

These Zep masterpieces have finally received a proper sonic update that is immediately apparent. All, and I mean all of the British bands, from The Beatles (Chuck Berry, Little Richard)forward, have been inspired by, and thus emulated American blues artists. For my money, Zeppelin did the most with their influences, creating an entirely new genre of music with themselves as the sole occupants. The mistake they made was not giving the proper writing credits on some of the early songs, but the music they created was almost without exception unrecognizable from the sources that inspired them. For example, they should have credited Willie Dixon for some lyrics, but the actual musical composition of Whole Lotta Love is in a separate universe from anything ever even dreamed of by Dixon. Despite some poor judgement on a few early writing credits (I suspect Peter Grant had something to do with it), the overwhelming majority of the Zeppelin canon is totally unique, brilliant and utterly unprecedented, which is why they remain the greatest rock band that ever stepped on a stage. PS I am an old Sabbath fan also. Despite the fact that Zeppelin’s music is best heard in the context of each album, I have to admit that this is still an extraordinary collection.
