A lot(Most?) of LZ's recordings don't sound very pristine. Especially if you compare them to other contemporaries like The Who and Pink Floyd. I think they did a lot of hasty/off the cuff recordings.

Hello, It seems to me that with each better pair of headphones I buy, more expensive DAC/Amps that I acquire, and better music source that I find, I am only then able to open up Immigrant Song to sound only slightly better? Is it me or does Immigrant Song sound distant, soft and clouded in its master mix? In particular, what is that noise in the first two seconds of the song that sounds like static? Was Immigrant Song's master copy not properly recorded with great equipiment or is it just me being picky? Thanks in advance for your time.
