More of the Music of Led Zeppelin
- With two outstanding Double Plus (A++) or BETTER sides, this copy is guaranteed to blow the doors off any other Houses of the Holy you’ve heard
- Side two was sonically very close to our Shootout Winner – you will be shocked at how big and powerful the sound is
- For this album, Mint Minus Minus is as QUIET as we can find them
- Only the pressings mastered by Robert Ludwig have any hope of doing well in our shootouts, and those are the only ones we have ever offered, beginning all the way back in 2006
- Wall to wall, floor to ceiling Led Zeppelin power – this copy delivers like you will not believe, or your money back
- A Better Records Top 100 album (along with 4 other Zep titles), 5 stars in AMG and a true Zeppelin Must Own classic
- The Tubey Magical acoustic guitars here should be a wake up call to everyone that any and all attempts to remaster this album are bound to fail – that sound is gone and it is never coming back
- 5 stars: “Jimmy Page’s riffs rely on ringing, folky hooks as much as they do on thundering blues-rock, giving the album a lighter, more open atmosphere…”
- If you’re a fan of the band, this title from 1973 is clearly one of their best, and inarguably one of their best sounding
This copy has the kind of BIG, BOLD ROCK SOUND that takes this music to places you’ve only dreamed it could go. The HUGE drums on this copy are going to blow your mind — and probably your neighbors’ minds as well.
And what would a Zep record be without bass? Not much, yet this is precisely the area where so many copies fail. Not so here. The bottom end is big and meaty with superb definition, allowing the record to ROCK, just the way the band wanted it to.
The vocals too are tonally correct. None of the phony upper-midrange boost that the Classic Records reissue suffers from is evident on this copy.
The louder Robert Plant screams, the better he sounds and the more I like it.
The Classic Records pressing makes me wince, and Jimmy Page’s remaster is not much better.
