Hot Stamper Pressings of the Music of Led Zeppelin Available Now
Houses of the Holy is another one of the very bad records Michael Fremer put on his 2009 Top LP list, while passing over one of Classic’s better titles, the first Led Zeppelin album.
(We don’t like it as much as we used to, but it is still a good record if you get a good pressing of it, something that can never be guaranteed of course. We link to our review of it below.)
Michael Fremer’s web site used to be called called musicangle (now defunct). On this site you would have been able to find a feature called “157 In-Print LPs You Should Own!”
Surprisingly it seems that the link still works. If I had made a list this misguided, it surely would have turned into a “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was talking about” commentary. I would have felt an obligation to correct the record, out of sheer embarrassment at the very least.
But this guy apparently never learns. As far as he’s concerned, what worked in 1982 ain’t broke and don’t need fixing.
