Melcórë Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 That's what I'm afraid of. We'll see though. Why? Don't have the bread? I'll be buying it all up, regardless of price. It's Zeppelin, people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened to The Doors and their 40th anniversary deluxe L.A. Woman box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Its easy to make a case for a price point of $70 When confronted with comparable entertainment content such as Black Ops II which has sold over 37.6 million copies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It depends on what will be included in the box set. If it's only a Blu-ray disc with hi-res audio and a handful of outtakes, then the price shouldn't be above $40 per album. If it's only a standard CD remaster with a handful of outtakes, then the price shouldn't be above $20 per album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be able to hope that the remasters will follow suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, Led Zeppelin has never overpriced anything, including the O2 ticket price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Just need to see what will be included on these released as no specific info is available yet. I don't think they'll gauge us fans on this as Jimmy and co. don't have a history of doing so with Zep releases such as Celebration Day, 2003 dvd and HTWWW. The Page releases on vinyl are a different situation being 180 g. versions and in a limited run. Although, some may argue on that front. We shall see. I would think it will be affordable as they would not want to curb sales on the upcoming releases that may be the last from the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles J. White Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm not sure it's a good idea to be honest. If there are unused songs or bits sitting in a vault perhaps they could be the basis of a new album instead at some point? All of the existing albums are perfect, I'm not sure that changing them is good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the existing albums are perfect, I'm not sure that changing them is good idea. They won't be changed. They'll just be remastered and released with bonus discs of unreleased material. Anyway, if the unreleased songs have been sitting in a vault for 40 odd years, I highly doubt they can be used for a new Led Zeppelin album.

Charles J. White Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I was thinking of it from the point of view that perhaps unused bits or ideas could be worked on in the present. Sometimes an old idea that was never used can lead to a new idea that makes the old bit seem new and interesting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes an old idea that was never used can lead to a new idea that makes the old bit seem new and interesting? That will never happen - not in the context of "Led Zeppelin," at least. Such ideas have probably already been used, anyway: "Swan Song" became "Midnight Moonlight," and I wouldn't be surprised if others (perhaps only riffs, etc.) were fleshed out at other times by the former members. At this point, it's best to take our cues from what bands like King Crimson and Pink Floyd have done: Remastered versions of the albums, plus the cream of the crop (so to speak) of outtakes, with a nice helping of contemporary live tracks. I think the potential here is huge...but I'll restrain my excitement (or disappointment) for when Sam makes an official post on the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also Shake My Tree from Coverdale/Page album is based on unused riff from ITTOD period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
