The reason for remastering in the first place is because music recorded in the pre-CD era was transferred to digital in the 90's with awful results. Listen to the first CD press of such bands as Black Sabbath, Rush, Kiss, Pink Floyd, even the holy Beatles! The music sounded far away, almost as if someone had made you a cassette recording of the music off of the masters, minus the hiss. So now we have some bands putting out wonderful remasters which use as little compression as possible and achieving results in sonic performance that match, and in some cases exceed the sound of the original vinyls.
LED ZEPPELIN has achieved this with this box set! I have not done an A/B comparison to the older "Complete Studio Recordings" box set, mastered by Jimmy Page himself, so I will not comment on any improvements that may or may not exist between the 2, but I will say that these new masters sound brilliant! The music actually fills my room, which is something that vinyl has always done, and where digital format music falls short. Yes digital is crystal clear and bright, but to my ears it always lacked DEPTH! The music in this set has that wonderful depth that my vinyl provided me. It is warm and rich and up front. Every nuance is heard. I am completely satisfied with this release in terms of sonic performance.
It appears the CD's here are the same as the Japanese imports, as they still have the Japanese characters printed on the wrapping of the cd's.
If I had to list any negatives, I'd say there's a bit of overkill with the 5 extra "In Through the Out Door" covers and the extra "Led Zeppelin I" cover. Okay, so instead of orange ink, they used blue ink. I didn't really need it. It would have been nice if they had included "How the West Was Won" and "BBC Sessions" instead of those empty CD holders. Then you'd really have the complete LZ.
The music, of course, is awesome. Led Zeppelin really doesn't have a weak track in their entire catalogue. It's well worth the $150. At most other other stores, this box runs around $200+. You also get the new version of "The Song Remains the Same" and an extended "Coda", so that's a bonus too.

Definitely won't be SHM-CD as advertised. Wish I had the information back when I purchased that I have now as I would have definitely sought a refund badly advertised in my opinion. Other things to look out for are no cut outs on physical Graffiti windows and no wheel on zep 3.
Disgusting how people can get away with ripping people off for something that is worthless. I already had everything by Led Zeppelin including the old boxset with the Zeppelin on box with cornfields but just thought this would be a good purchase at the time having all the mini lp replicas in a boxset. Be careful with sellers maybe ask questions before making a purchase is all I'd recommend.
Basically, this set is exactly as it says on the tin: the Definitive Collection; you get all of Led Zeppelin's studio albums in one handy package! You also receive 'The Song Remains The Same' soundtrack (live) album, with bonus tracks!
Now, in terms of presentation, this set is superior to any I've seen before. Each album is presented in its original Vinyl form, albeit replicated, but I, for one, can live with that. For example, on 'Led Zeppelin III', you get the revolving wheel on the front sleeve of the album, which came on the original Vinyl album way back when. The same goes for 'Physical Graffiti'; you get the inserts and the two slips for both discs... depending on how you insert either the inserts or indeed the slips, it will reflect how the album sleeve looks, hence the title 'Physical Graffiti'.
Now, onto the sound, these albums all sound fantastic!!!!!!! I noticed one reviewer felt that these albums showcased the 'Loudness War' in all its glory, please ignore that review because it is a lie!
So, all things considered, purchase this incredible set if you want all of Zeppelin's albums in one superior place. You'll be glad you did, guaranteed!
Turquoise lettered LZ1 cover and also the Orange print sleeve is included along with the 5 sleeves for ITTOD. CD'S sound great and the box doesn't take up too much shelf space. You get the extended versions of TSRTS and Coda.
Whole package is top quality, infact the sleeves are some of the finnest quality CD sleeves that i have seen and are absolute faithfull replicas of the original Vinyl sleeves (Down to texture and paper/plastic inner sleeves). If your a Zep fan then I don't have to give details on the music as we all know it's awesome. Highlights for me though are, Your time is gonna come, Goodtimes, Badtimes, What is and what should never be, Heartbreaker, Immigrant song, Tangerine, Freinds, Rock and roll, When the Levee breaks, Misty mountain hop, No Quater, Over the hills and far away, Achillies last stand, For Your Life, Black country woman, Trampled under foot, In the light, Sick again, Dazed and confused (live), Celebration day (live), Whole lotta love (live), In the evening, All of my love, Southbound saurez. Where gonna groove, wearing and tearing, Travelling riverside blues and even Carouselambra (John Paul Jonses Keyboard driven 10 min+ monster). If you have the cash, Risk it, you can always return it if it isn't the correct and genuine item). 10/10 for everything. Made up.
It's a set the Zep lovers just have to have and probably already got all the CD's.
So you probably don't need it, but you just have to have it, life to short to worry about the cost!!!!!
I would give this set 6 stars if I could.
