Half-Speed Mastered by Stan Ricker and pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl at RTI.
The legendary group's new comprehensive four-LP collection features 24 songs chosen, sequenced and remastered under the band's direct supervision. The release is part of a global Led Zeppelin event that coincides with their performance at a benefit tribute concert for the late Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun. This four-LP, 180-gram set includes key Zeppelin tracks like "Good Times Bad Times," "Communication Breakdown," "Dazed and Confused," "Whole Lotta Love," "Heartbreaker," "Immigrant Song," "Rock And Roll," "Black Dog," "Stairway To Heaven," "D'Yer Maker," "Kashmir" and "All My Love." Spanning their epic career, the unprecedented collection pulls immortal songs from all eight of the band's classic studio albums, one of the 20th century's most enduring bodies of musical work. Arguably the most influential and innovative rock band ever, Led Zeppelin has sold over 200 million records worldwide. Liner notes are by David Fricke and the cover is designed by noted Los Angeles artist Shepard Fairey.

Too bright, no grunt - not crankable posted on 08/02/2012

| If you have any CDs with these tracks you should not waste your money on this box set. It does not sound any better than the CDs. I have original and other remasters to compare to. In fact I compared it to a beat up old vinyl copy of LZ II and I preferred the old version with all the crackles.
The thing with this box set is that it has been remastered to sound sparkly on small/cheap systems. Bass has been sucked out of it and the mid to highs are ear bleedingly loud. Sure you can hear more detail in the mids & highs, but when you try cranking it up your ears bleed due to the over brightness and the grunt is just not there.
My old beat up LZ II vinyl is totally crank-able and you want to turn it up and then some more because it hits you with that old rock n roll feel.
I'll be flogging this box set on eBay.

Good option compared to hunting down originals posted on 12/24/2011

| First off, as others have stated it is a "digital remaster". Take that as you like.
The point many seem to miss is, finding the "original" or "early" pressings is time consuming, and very expensive. What people will pay for "vintage" is mind blowing today.
If you are looking to add a Zeppelin set to your collection but don't want to overpay out the nose, this is a solid option. But be warned, sound quality is acceptable, not top notch.
I don't regret my purchase. I have Physical Graffiti, I, and Presence on original pressing. A greatest hits of acceptable quality was the best bet for the rest.

| It took roughly 3 seconds to pop the "expectation" bubble about the resurgent vinyl experience. 180 gram vinyl, pristine manufacturing, and "Whole Lotta Love" goes ba-da-ba-da POP! Let's get this straight guys, vinyl records are a flawed medium - always have been and always will be. I have been entering my 600+ LP's into a database (Collectorz.com) and listening to selected records as I progressed. It brought back all of the attendant things about vinyl: no amount of diskwashers, static guns, anti-static mats, $40,000 turntables or $10,000 cartridges will make a vinyl record "silent" between songs or remove the tics and pops that occur at the most aggravating moments. If this is the way that the artists intended you to hear it, then the artists were - I can't think of a proper word meaning "stupid" and "deranged". Anyway, this box set is supurb - FOR A VINYL RELEASE - but give me an SACD or DVD-Audio of the same thing anyday. As an aside: I had not purchased vinyl since 1984.
