Great advice. Any recommendations? Thanks

FYI:

Jesus, that sounds amazing, even on my PC! That riff, too. Maybe my favorite of all time, and penned by a bass player, no less. Thanks for sharing that.

Thanks all. This is exactly the info. I needed. I especially appreciate the input on the Crosley. I researched it myself earlier and found no shortage of similar complaints about these products. (A gift from the wife. So, you know.) I will not play anything other than the old beat up records on it. I plan to use the opportunity to dust off my old Technics turntable and my old system and putting those with the new lp purchases in a different listening room. The turntable at the time (late 80s, early 90s) was considered a good one, I think. If anyone knows otherwise, feel free to tell me. Since posting this, I did some more research which led me to the Discogs site. Man, I had no idea how specialized the vinyl industry was. (SK, RL, RP, PS, etc. I have no idea what these mean.) Based upon other information I came across online, I have been focusing on original U.S. releases in NM. (Something I saw on youtube said don't expect to find the second album in better than a VG+, however.) At least one source was of the opinion that vinyl released outside of the US or UK was not as good. If someone thinks otherwise, please tell me. I will also keep an eye out for the Classic Records series. Please feel free to add your two cents. This is very helpful. Thanks.

With streaming services so accessible, like many of you, I suspect, my CDs are long ago boxed up. LPs too. But we all know nothing matches the warm, rich, full sound experience that is vinyl. I thought those days were long gone. (I haven’t seen my Klipsh speakers in so long, I’m not sure I spelled it correctly) Then my wife bought me this kitschy retro Croswell turntable. (No, it’s not my old system. But it serves a purpose.) So I’ve decided to replace my old Zeppelin collection, in its entirety. (I may skip TSRTS.) I purchased my current collection in the 80s and most of those I bought used. They were in pretty bad shape even then. But I was just a kid and the songs, pops, crackles, hums, skips and all, took me places I cannot begin to describe. My question is this. What vinyl format creates the best overall listening experience? I know Page has done reissues of all titles, twice I think. (90s and ‘15?) And I know the 2015 reissues came in deluxe editions. I read some reviews of the 2015 RI of PG that were not good. But most on this forum were favorable. So, if you had the ability to start over (oh so exciting) what format? Original releases, used but NM or VG? The 2015 RIs, new? Something else? I’m less interested in the extra material and bells and whistles that come with the deluxe editions. My main interest is sound quality. I would also appreciate any advice on avoiding scammers. I’ve seen “original pressings” still in shrink wrap (seriously) for prices too good to be true. What else should I watch out for? So, thanks for helping me kick off this journey. Maybe some of you will find it fun/interesting/nostalgic to come along. I hope so.
