After constant shifts it is finally here: Led Zeppelin - Mothership; 4LP box, 180g-high quality and strictly limited!
I own every record at different pressures of the band including the first four as British first press on the famous red / maroon label. As these pressures musically and sonically (there were still the master tapes used later copies thereof) other pressures such as orange / green are far superior, I was on the sound of excited Mothership.
The box is made of sturdy cardboard. When you lift the lid, expect 4LP, each fed in on both sides and inner linings own distinct Cover. The cover is / designed black red with photo and that character of an individual member of the band. Enclosed is a booklet that contains information on the origin and evolution of the band, photos, quotes and of course the title. The title list is designed with composition, when and where recorded and mixed on which albums represented and the exact release date! Is a song released as a single, well this Release date is mentioned. The labels are provided with the character of the band members and on the other side once the respective title, composition and length of the songs.
On the turntable, the LPs are like a board. No warped or whatever.
When sound to me are almost the words. Again, the master tapes were used (thankfully) and even digitized to the best rauszuholen. And that's really succeeded. The sound sounding forceful, clear, clean, dynamic, voluminous and very precisely balanced. You do hear every instrument, even individual guitar strings, drums and tanks from the perfect and clean vocals.
Even if it is the almost same as in the previous compilation "Best Of", this is sound on vinyl, a masterpiece! I can every vinyl lover who likes this band only recommend buying this part! You will not regret it musically and especially sound!
