THUNDERZEP Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 My guess is each two disc set will be $19.99. At that price, for a remastered original and a bonus disc,it will be worth there weight in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melcórë Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I now go about once a month on a "burn & return" mission. If I see something I get it, put it in the computer, if I dislike it, I delete it. I'll probably do the same with the new Zeppelin that comes out. Unless if its reasonably priced, with cool extras or comes out on vinyl. Booooooooo...pay for Zeppelin! That form of piracy is way more insidious -- and widespread -- than others.

Cecil. Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm hoping the first one comes out before March arrives... It would be nice to hear something soon, but I don't know if it will be a big news release, or one of those it just appeared today type things.

Melcórë Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Brian Plumridge interviewed John Davis (mastered Celebration Day) who has been outed as the mastering engineer for the forthcoming remasters. Key part (2:27-2:48): "There's stuff that's never been out before, there's-there's new songs that they've found, there's new versions of classics...they've gone back to, uh, the tape source [...] the masters they're using have never been played before, so they just sound so vital as opposed to remastering tracks from tapes that have been played for 20, 30 years." Davis also says that there's a press event set for the February 20th. (Thanks to Cookie and others for the link.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truth and beauty Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I can't see them costing more than $30. And I always thought I was a glass half full person ! ... but I'd change the dollar to a pound sign and then think about multiplying the 30 ... Interesting question though. Will the focus be on vinyl or on downloads/CDs ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting question though. Will the focus be on vinyl or on downloads/CDs ? Here's my reasoning: Think of Celebration Day as having been a test, to measure interest in Led Zeppelin and the many formats in which it was released. The concert was released in several formats -- Blu-Ray (video and audio), DVD, CD, vinyl, and (hi-res/low-res) digital -- and they were all reasonably priced (at least in North America). Assuming Celebration Day was successful enough, I think we'll again see an onslaught of choices -- think CD, vinyl, and (hi-res/iTunes) digital releases.

You could be the "inside man," so-to-speak... The one thing that kind of bugs me about this whole affair is how quiet it's been. I mean...maybe I'm just out of the loop, but isn't this the first time we're getting firm information on who remastered the catalogue? Isn't it weird that we're hearing about a press event (or what-have-you) from the mastering engineer, and not anyone closer to the band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melcórë Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 ...I must be crazy. Did I just miss that news, or did no one know that Davis remastered the catalogue for iTunes? Nice to have confirmation that the MfiT tracks are the remasters, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 It's my pleasure, doing what I can to get the news out. Thanks for the great info James and almost certain confirmation of the press event for these soon to be great releases. These may be unbelievable and beyond what we expected, but who knows and will find out. Keep us informed as always and you have plenty of time to prepare and ask Jimmy the most in depth and proper questions regarding this! Hopefully, he'll be quite open about this and provide some great details. I would expect so, especially regarding an upcoming Zeppelin releases(s). Best of luck to you with this, keep up the great work and look forward to lots of feed and bait from you shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyPhantom Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Great news. Hopefully the (re)confirmation of bonus material, from unheard songs and different versions of previous songs, will help the impatient buggers around here realize that is truly a massive project embarked on by Zep and co. In all seriousness, I could not be more excited. I've been holding off on purchasing the Zeppelin catalog on vinyl specifically so i could have these remasters. And kudos to John Davis, a grammy for his work and the discovery of how truly great Zeppelin was/is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
