Led Zeppelin IV - 2CD Remastered Deluxe Edition (Audio CD)

Customer Review

Of course there are other contenders for this title, such as DEEP PURPLE - MACHINE HEAD, RAINBOW - RISING, LED ZEPPELIN - II, BLACK SABBATH - PARANOID, AEROSMITH - ROCKS, VAN HALEN - I, AC / DC - BACK IN BLACK uswusf This These are all great masterpieces, but somehow perched Led Zeppelin IV for me even a little bit about all the other ....

In Headley Grange recorded, this album was released in 1971 without a name and without lettering album title. It circulated names as Four Symbols or UNTITLED, most commonly, however, Led Zeppelin IV.
The opener BLACK DOG begins with probably typical LED ZEP riff during the breaks to the siren-like vocals of Robert Plant. I do not know how many times this song has already been copied by more recently AC / DC - Rock the House to WHITESNAKE - STILL OF THE NIGHT .... A nice hint is Gary Moore's LED CLONES ....
ROCK AND ROLL is the (what else in the title) anthem par excellence, introduced by a drum thunder of Bonzo, was the song used to be the perfect concert opener.
The Battle of Evermore is a mystical folk number, with Robert Plant is supported vocally by Sandy Denny. Great battle epic, inspired by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
And then of course, Stairway To Heaven, LED ZEPS masterpiece !!! Slow, quiet beginning, this monolithic increases gradually over Bonzo use, to the furious guitar solo by Jimmy Page, and then explode into the electric finale !!! Very, very big screen !!!
MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP begins with John Paul Jones E Piano, with easy wireless trends, very melodic piece.
FOUR STICKS was played by Bonzo 4 drumsticks, each 2 in each hand. Something dodgy number would also fit well on Led Zeppelin III.
Going to California is a gorgeous acoustic number, very aesthetically presented by Robert Plant.
And the grand finale, the Blues Groove Monster When the Levee Breaks (my favorite track). Bonzo's drums sound huge in this piece !!! John Bonham is for me, in addition to Ian Paice and Cozy Powell, the best drummer in the there has ever been.

2 CD Remastered Deluxe Edition
My old Led Zep vinyl records store now for quite some time in the closet. Later I added myself the whole back catalog again on CD. Then in 1990 and finally in 2007 REMASTERS MOTHERSHIP (again Remastering) Of the new 2 CD edition I have now only LED ZEP II and Led Zep IV gained someday is finally enough times .... It is interesting for me but not the re-remastering but of course, the additional CD with alternative versions. BLACK DOG (guitar overdubs) sounds very basic. The Battle of Evermore and Going to California are held purely instrumental. Best I liked the mixes of MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP, FOUR STICKS and When The Levee Breaks (wins in my opinion the most). Overall, you have but to say that the alternative versions are a nice addition, with the original versions of LED ZEP have but then made the right decision.

CONCLUSION: Each hard rock lovers should have at least have a version of Led Zep IV in the closet. Whether the 2 CD edition is absolutely necessary, everyone must decide for themselves, for me it is a nice complement.

Just another thing to LED ZEP:
While other bands like PURPLE and SABBATH have tens of lineup changes behind him, there was LED ZEPPELIN only in the constellation Jimmy Page - Robert Plant - John Paul Jones - JOHN BONHAM. After Bonzo's death they have not hastily recruited a new drummer, but the band disbanded. Perhaps one more reason why the leaden airship a little bit hanging over everyone else ....
