Great Scott!

I just listen to this new edition (one more, but when you love ...).
I still have the hairs bristling arms.
Since remasterings 90s, the technique has really made progress.
From the first bars of Good Times, two observations are necessary:
- As Plant was young! His youthful voice and full of energy is finally fully restored. She clearly foreshadows the great howler coming years.
- Like the guitar sounded good page! Without abusing compression and other studio devices, it is "there", planted in front of your legs apart swinging riffs.
The big problem with this first album of leaded zeppelin is that it was recorded in a small studio in just over a week. Its production - correct - suffered from abuse reverb on some tracks and the mix equalization had always posed question.
To achieve progress brought by this new edition, I advise you to listen Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. This time, the acoustic guitar Page is not a "small scratches ferraillante". We hear metal strings, but the wood of the box and the handle. Reverb is always a little push, but the sound is more defined and therefore more natural.
And all the rest of the album benefits from this kind of progress.
The bass Jones swinging on sub-bass (Dazed!) And the Bonzo battery will eventually win the luster of your downstairs neighbor.
Side "freebie" (not that much), it was a Paris concert recorded by the French radio. This is the single, not very detailed and some fans bootlegs (including myself, I admit) will not be surprised by fried hell of guys in that time. A great concert, recorded not super good, full of crashes (the beginning of Good Times, ouch!), With same lengths (Dazed). But it does not matter. The energy is phenomenal. There are (large) low, there are acute (some screaming) and there is a sacred group is moving!
If only the best Page remasterisait his gang of pirates!

Final question: is it necessary to buy these classics again?
No, if you like Zepp well, but nothing more.
Yes, if you are new to the group. With this remastering, it never sounded so modern.
A thousand times yes, if you are a fan, unconditional, crazy. You will further enrich this skinflint of Pagey, but how resist?
