badgeholder Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I always liked the track order on this set, Jimmy did this himself, right? He did a great job! I especially like disc three, which is almost a best-of-Bonzo collection: Kashmir Trampled Underfoot For Your Life No Quarter Dancingh Days When the Levee Breaks Achilles Last Stand The Song Remains the Same Ten Years Gone In My Time of Dying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deborah J Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I have been listening to this one a lot lately. In fact last night I listened to disc three, but they are all great!!! Love the photos as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean, as I guess so do alot of others, Bonzo the man, with Four Sticks in his Hands was Untouchable. All the Best, Hang-man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpat Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Easily the best CD of the set ... but Jimmy was constrained somewhat by trying to keep things somewhat in TIGHT BUT LOOSE chronological order (especially first two CDs of the four). Wish he included "The Rover" and "Four Sticks." I think he made a mistake by thinking "Ozone Baby" was better than either of those two. But I'm not whiiiiii-ning!! I remember how unbelievable it was that Zep would release a "greatest hits" type set. Unheard of up until then with the release of the crop circles box set.

"Ozone Baby" is good but not as good as "The Rover" and "Four Sticks." I remember borrowing this from my local public library several years ago. It was my introduction to Led Zeppelin (apart from hearing them on the radio). It was a great experience, hearing all those classic tracks in one set. A little overwhelming too! I'm very grateful to my local public library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesyzep Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Are we talking about the 3 disk or 4 disk one? I have the early 1990 3 disk. I think the 4 disk came later but don't know the difference other than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 4 disk came later but don't know the difference other than that. Actually, the 4-disc version came out first, with truncated 3-disc & 2-disc versions released shortly thereafter.

dazedcat Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I bought this box set when it was first issued and to be honest, I really haven't had the urge to buy anything since. I still think the mastering job that Page and George Marino did on this sounds terrific, as close to the original vinly albums as possible. I did buy the two disc set released a year or so after this; the one that contained the Zep tracks that this four CD set didn't have. Page/Marino remastered those as well.

Cecil. Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 For me disk 1 it had Hey Hey What Can I Do. I know everyone and their grandma had heard it! eluded me. Overall the songs, because of running order sometimes took on a different context, after hearing the albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
