Binding: Audio CDBrand: LED ZEPPELIN EAN: 0081227996154 Format: Original recording remastered Label: Atlantic Manufacturer: Atlantic MPN: 081227996154 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Atlantic Release Date: November 13, 2007 Studio: Atlantic Editorial Review: Product Description: \N Amazon.com: For years, as playlists and multidisc players put Led Zeppelin tracks into a mix, there was a perpetual need to adjust the volume when Zep came on. Their tunes languished in the haze of substandard remastering--until now, at least for the 24 tracks on Mothership and the final fullness of the new Song Remains the Same reissue. For its part, Mothership's crisper, warmer audio owes its heft to the troika of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, who helped oversee the mastering, bringing out untold shades even in the throes of "Heartbreaker" and the sinews of "No Quarter." It's an impressive sonic leap. Where tinny high-ends and muffled lows used to co-exist, fatter and louder depths prevail. It's ever more astonishing that Zep got on with just four blokes. You can quibble with the 24 tracks here (where's "The Ocean"?), but the band picked each track here, from the stone-cold locks ("Communication Breakdown" and "Stairway to Heaven," no, duh) to the robust throb of "When the Levee Breaks." As for "The Ocean," you can find that in fantastically full form, along with five other gems on the newly remastered Song Remains the Same, which shows up for 2007's holiday season on DVD, too. Only rarely have four lads from England made so memorable an auditory and visual blast. --Andrew Bartlett More from Led Zeppelin
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - OverdueThe mothership is as grand as its' title. Amazing packaging, has a colorful booklet that let's a fan into the world of Led Zeppelin, and all the vinyls sound epic. Each song in the collection is a classic for both the average fan and a true fan. Rating: - Led Zep setVery satisfied with purchase. Would recommend that Amazon.com try to package vinyl shipments so they don't shake or move in package to prevent damage. Thanks, Norm. Rating: - A must-have for any fan of Led ZeppelinI hesitated for about 2 seconds before spending $60 on a 4-LP box set, but man was it worth it! The remastering quality is top rate - it's not like they just "cleaned up" the originals. Levels, channels and fades have all been reworked. I put on the record and played several tracks simultaneously to the 4-CD box set from 20 yrs ago (switching the input selector back and forth). It's like night and day, you wouldn't believe the improvement if you didn't hear it. Dazed and Confused is the perfect ...

I usually listened to the 4-disc set with the green leaf on black background, but now I listen to Mothership. I hear notes I never heard before and I can almost understand all the words....almost. The sound is much better and is worth the money. If there is a Mothership Two, I will certainly buy that also. Rating:  - A mild improvement over the "Early Days" and "Latter Days" CD'sI already have Led Zeppelin's 10 CD box set, but I still wanted a "Best of" collection for my carousel CD player. I once had their DVD of "Led Zeppelin" but that was just too much of the same thing over and over. What made "Latter Days" so disappointing was that it didn't include the very important Pop charted single of "D'yer Mak'r". A good Led Zeppelin collection can't dismiss that important track. "D'yer Mak'r" is just as important as "Stairway To Heaven." I enjoy listening ... Read More |
