Finally, disc returned to store. The 2020 press of LZ IV is a disaster. The side two is ok, but side one is full of "echoes", specially on tracks 2 and 4.

I've listened all the album (2020 press) many times and it sounds really good. The only thing is that echo. To be fair I have to say that this echo is only noticeable when you listen it through headphones with max volume, but hearing that echo caught my attention.

Thanks woz70. please read my last post

The curious thing here is that i've been listening to the 2014 remaster LP and this echo is not present. It's only on the 2020 pressing. Dont know why.

Wow, thanks for the info. I had no idea about that. But this cannot be corredted during the remaster process?

Hi there! Yesterday I bought 2 copies of Led Zeppelin IV (vinyl remaster) in a local store here in Spain. 13€ every copy. 1 copy to be listened, the other to be stored as a backup. I have also a 1982 copy, that preserves an excellent sound quality. But I can notice a difference between my 1982 copy and the new remaster. In the remaster, just at the last words of stairway, I can hear an echo. Just like that: And she's buuuuying a stairway.. way.......... to heaven ven..... Does anybody hear the same thing? This echo is not present in my 1982 copy. It's only the remaster. is it just an echo added in the remastering process? Or it's a pressing error? thanks!!

Nice! Thanks for your reply! Yes, I supposed that this noise is normal, but "The Complete Studio Recordings" are remasters, so I don't know why the engineers didn't erase that noise. Anyway, it sounds great. Now it's time to buy all cd's, and maybe LP too. New LZ fan here. 50 years late...

Hi there! I'm from Spain and my english is so bad, but I'm sure you will understand me. I've never been fan of Led Zeppelin, until now. Let me explain. Last week I bought a Fiio M11 DAP because I wanted to rip all my CD collection into FLAC or ALAC and hear it with a Hi-Res device. Yesterday, talking with a friend about music, he told me: Hey I can share my CD collection with you to rip more CD's, and he lent me "The Complete Studio Recordings". The only song I've ever listened from LZ is Stairway to heaven.... really. Today I've listened Led Zeppelin IV and after that I said: Now I know I'm a LZ fan. I don't understand why I've never been a fan. Absolutely great!! That's the music I love to listen. Now i'm gonna listen the other albums, but I have a question about Led Zeppelin IV: I realize that a background noise is always present. It's something like: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF. It's like the noise from the needle in a turntable when hearing a silent track. Isn't it supposed to be a remastered CD? I've heard both CD and it's ripped version in FLAC, and this noise is always present. For example, if you play Stairway to heaven, the first seconds you can hear this noise.... SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Is this normal? I understand it's a 50 year old album... but I don't know why the engineers didn't fix that in the remaster process. Can someone enlighten me? Thx a lot.
