Ddladner Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Today, I completed my first (physical) collection of Led Zeppelin studio albums. It is gorgeous, and I feel like a queen!! Thank you, Jimmy, for pouring your heart and soul into this phenomenal project for the fans. With the band's amazing talent, and your attention to detail, there is no surprise that this music has stood the test of time. ❤️❤️❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pujols05 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Just pulled the trigger on Presence SDBS from Amazon, $94. Not bad. Will arrive Friday. Had wanted to get the last three all together, but didn't want to miss that price. Also barely noticed they list it as three vinyl. Strange oversight. When it arrives I'll ask where the other vinyl went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bong-Man Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 When it's referred to as "The Bombay Orchestra", I was kind of hoping for something more than a couple beduins playing a one note rubber band and a maxwell house coffee can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pujols05 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I am an Amazon Prime customer and was able to get them to honor the $111.61 price for Coda. I appreciate folks keeping everyone updated on the pricing as 50 dollars is significant. Thanks again. As Coda has still not dropped on Amazon, and as I have Prime, I just tried this. Agent on chat refused, said "We would do it if it was price drop on our website but we strongly do not offer price match for other websites" (I had referenced importcds). Not quite sure what the "price drop on our website" statement means. I even mentioned I was aware of other Prime members getting a price match but it didn't help. I have $220 in Amazon credit; otherwise I'd just go ahead with importcds. One option is that importcds is selling the set on Amazon for $114, but their shipping is slower than dirt. The surprising thing is that from the merch section of ledzeppelin.com, it's $139...although Presence and ITTOD are cheaper on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckjuana Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Amazon for all previous box sets for me has arrived about 10 days after release date. For the last three I went with inportcds and they arrived on the release date. This was posting to Australia. Price was much cheaper, no complaints at all from me.

JTM Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Why did you buy it? To see what it was like, I'll just stick with the 1994 version if I feel like giving it a listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 To see what it was like, I'll just stick with the 1990 version if I feel like giving it a listen. Fair enough, I like this version of the album and love the packaging. Admittedly the companion disc is pretty lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stairway is NOT stolen Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Had a rough day at work (really busy), so I bought the CODA Box set to cheer myself up. It's by far the best of all the companion audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nirvana Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Yes - CODA is by far the best of the companion series. Not even close. "If it keeps on Raining" is worth the price of the discs itself. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sathington Willoughby Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Mothership will be re-released on vinyl and CD using the new remasters.

If anything it gets rid of what most think is the worst mastering job in the catalog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you can tell from my post in the Beatles thread, I'm not exactly on the cutting edge of technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Hermit Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Hmm, that was an unexpected development. If they're going so far as to re-release Mothership with the new remasters, don't be surprised to see a new Definitive Collection box-set in the not too distant future, with the newly-remastered albums presented in mini-LP vinyl replica sleeves like the 2008 set... and if they REALLY want it to be definitive, include HTWWW and BBC Sessions alongside the 2007 edition of TSRTS.Sweet...

The 5.1 for DSOTM is also excellent, but the clarity on WYWH is sublime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5.1 for DSOTM is also excellent, but the clarity on WYWH is sublime. I prefer the Quad versions of TDSOTM and WYWH over the 5.1 mixes, better use of surround sound imo. James Guthrie's 5.1 mixes have a more double stereo feel to them in the main,but the Quad versions are all around your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Guthrie's 5.1 mixes have a more double stereo feel to them in the main,but the Quad versions are all around your head. As do I....WYWH seemed to have a lot of extras on the quad mix (like the background singers coming in before the first verses of SOYCD...extra sounds in the opening of WTTM... ) As to the Mothership redux..that's a shame, I really feel the mastering on those discs were the most superior of all..I feel they are much better than what was done for the box sets (to my ears anyway...wish I could find something actual to back up why I may prefer them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to the Mothership redux..that's a shame, I really feel the mastering on those discs were the most superior of all..I feel they are much better than what was done for the box sets (to my ears anyway...wish I could find something actual to back up why I may prefer them) You might literally be the only person to have ever said that.
