For My Life Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 According to this blogger, the expanded Led Zeppelin releases will be the first to be available as lossless 24 bit downloads from iTunes: http://robertmusic.blogspot.no/2014/03/led-zeppelin-and-future-of-hi-res-audio.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Would be interesting, but I find it hard to trust someone who makes such bold claims and offers no proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought this sounded plausible, and seemed in-line with the way Apple/iTunes does things--launching something new with a big act, and who better than LZ? However...as far as I'm concerned, the (supposedly exclusive) inclusion of the HD tracks in the super deluxe sets adds a great deal of appeal to those sets. I could see iTunes being the download mechanism for the tracks (download card sends you to iTunes), but making them available for just $1 more would seem to short-circuit the marketing of the super deluxe sets. AND, making HD tracks available on iTunes on June 3rd for just $1 more than the regular tracks would likely piss off everyone who has pre-ordered the deluxe edition CDs, along the lines of "I paid $17 for the CDs but I could have had HD audio for $30 (or something like that)?"

Tone_Boss Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Well I hope the digital download has nothing to do with Apple as I despise that company and all their proprietary files, cables, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Since no one seems to have posted this here (thanks to Cook for the heads up): "Good Times Bad Times/Communication Breakdown" will be available for download as a pre-order bonus from "iTunes and other digital retailers" tomorrow, says Rolling Stone. A Spanish website (thanks to mick_sh over at SH.tv) claims that we'll get the "Whole Lotta Love" alternate on April 28th. Well I hope the digital download has nothing to do with Apple as I despise that company and all their proprietary files, cables, etc... To each their own. I personally find the anti-Apple movement to be as bad as the cultists themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Spanish link, that seems to confirm that we'll have a new track every two weeks, which is great! Also the Spanish link suggests that the Soundcloud links will only be up for 24 hours, and then the live track will go on sale on iTunes and Amazon as well as streaming on Spotify, which was news to me.

Missed that, as I was only looking for the date! Makes sense to me, in order to capitalize (so-to-speak) on sales and streaming through Spotify, while satisfying people's curiosity/giving them an avenue to listen before purchasing. Seems reasonable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick2632 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Soooo what does everyone think of GTBT/CB?? The quality is certainly there compared to the boot, though the boot has decent quality to begin with. I've listed to that and HMMT and must say that's a great concert to pick from though I would like to have seen Killing Floor in the mix! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I sound like a plant from Atlantic/Rhino/Metropolis, I'm sure, but I really enjoy what they were able to do with "Good Times Bad Times/Communication Breakdown." It sounds more balanced than the versions that I've heard bootlegged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds more balanced than the versions that I've heard bootlegged. Listened to the GTBD/CB track on spotify, It's better than the CDr I have of the Wendy version, but not by a great deal (Have to wait for the disc to do a proper compare on the HiFi. But as expected it's mono (a bit of a pisser). I just hope that the second and third album bonus discs have some content on them that is not already on bootleg, somehow I'm begining to doubt that, just have to wait and see....Roll on 2nd of June.

Technically, it's duophonic...and what did you expect from a show that wasn't multi-tracked? Have some faith... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty ballsy if you ask me, posting a pirate link on the official Zeppelin forum. Just makes it easier for the team to have it taken down, though. EDIT: Someone must have leaked that conference, it isn't included on the Olympia event calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 It was really interesting to hear the Jam Sandwich riff at the end of GTBD/ CB, which of course would appear on the Death Wish 2 soundtrack 13 years later. Other than that, thrilled that we'll be getting these DE's, but I've never met a DE that impressed me much, and I have lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, thrilled that we'll be getting these DE's, but I've never met a DE that impressed me much, and I have lots. In terms of completeness and/or musical enjoyment, so far I've been most impressed by the In the Court of the Crimson King box and The Dark Side of the Moon "Immersion" box set. I'll be more interested, and derive more pleasure, from these boxes because they're Zeppelin, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
