This pressing sounds superb. I really enjoyed listening to Zeppelin's weakest album again.
Mine says 1975 on the outer bag instead of 1979. Inner card is for the 2XLP version! |
|
I ordered a Diament 1986 CD but the seller sent this in error. I have the Marino Remasters and the 2007 Remasters. I must say this sounds very good but again the album itself is a pig. I always put it at the bottom of the list. I don't like the synths...

I found this today and it's a variant D. It was still in the original shrink, but opened. Looks unplayed. The shrink caused slight warping of the rear of the sleeve as it tightened over then years. I like the printed labels on these old Polydors.

The date here July 25, 1969 from Juan Les-Pins has been reissued on Live in Europe - The Bootleg Series Vol.2 in 2013 which has a date from the following day too and a Stockholm gig!

Maybe the fade in on One Vision wasn't the ideal way to start the album? AKOM starts it off in a better way!
|
|
I don't see the point of adding "Like I've Never Been Gone (Live)" because it's from 1983. I hate live tracks added to classic albums!
Far Post is better than some album tracks though. |
|
I'm pretty sure I had this gold disc back in 1990. This sounds great. Airy and no big fat compression.
|
|
Presence is an unusual album in the Zeppelin catalog because it’s remained fresh even today. It’s a stripped down affair that sounds like it was jammed out live in the studio. Bonhams drums are sold and less fancy but he’s doing more than he seems....

There's more live material from 1984 and this only has half of it. It's not remastered either.

Great album from 1981 when they were not as popular after the late 70s overkill of Saturday Night Fever. It would be mid 1987 when their next album ESP was released. In the early 80s they wrote for other artists such as Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers,...

This pressing is awesome. The details in the guitar tracks in Achilles Last Stand is great. The sound is clear, bombastic and magnificent. This song is a juggernaut. The chugging rhythm is almost a blueprint for Iron Maiden's chugging rhythm in the...

No Quarter is one of the most incredible tracks ever committed to tape to be pressed on vinyl and later transferred and digitally remastered to every format at the speed of light across the cosmos...

This set has the same disc artwork as the US card hardback long version with the interview disc.
|
|
Nice compilation but "State Of Independence" is a faded at 4:22 compared to the original album version that clocks at over 7 mins.
"He Is Sailing" is also a different shorter mix than the original album version which is 6:47. Great music that fits the... See full review |

It says How Many More Times is 3:30
But it’s actually over 8 minutes? |

Brady's fourth offering from the 80s finds him as a major singer/songwriter in the adult contemporary rock world. Tina Turner covered Paradise is Here the previously year on her Break Every Rule album.
The opening Steal Your Heart Away is a showcase... See full review |

Okay, while it's another Queen compilation we don't really need I will say this, it's a great showcase for the Bob Ludwig remasters and when I bought this back in 2009 I was pretty impressed. The track listing isn't bad but I would have left "Heaven...

It would be nice if they reissued this in a more compact box as the originals are quite expensive now.
|
|
Just different sleeve photos and labels, the inner artwork is the same. Better to buy an original. For fanatics only!

I have this pressing but there's an A4 sheet with Polygram News press release which gives a few paragraphs on the album.
|
|
I think they tried to make it less 80s sounding and tighten up some of the reverbs and effects. They replaced baselines on some tracks too with a different bass player! I like the Original because even though the sound on this is a bit better it seems...

The track Rite Of Man was not on this! Mistake is from 1982, FMO sessions.

Most of these B sides are on the Best of Keane 2 CD version. Great in their own right.

|
I found this today in a pawn shop and it sounds fabulous and warm. John McVie’s bass is plumb and deep. I had an early 90s version at some stage, sold it, I had the 2004 remaster and sold that, and the 2018 Deluxe but this is hard to beat now! The...

I love these old 1983 “target” discs. I found this album today in a pawn shop and Fleetwood Mac 1975 album red/silver Target CD for a few bucks.
|
|
I love Fleetwood Mac and have everything up to Tango. Nothing after that is of interest to me. But this set is just a total exercise in cashing in. If you have the deluxe editions you’ll have this set already. A total waste of time and money....

So this was remastered in 1992? It was then remastered for the DMS in 1994!
Error on rear inlay. No track times for last two tracks just like 1986 issue. They were all removed for the DMS issue! |
|
This was the start of the Bob Ludwig 1/2 Speed back in 2005. He did them all and they were released on CD by 2011.
The vinyl following in 2015 onwards. All the masters were transferred to digital in high resolution files. Clean up were done etc! It’s... See full review |

It was going to be hard to top the 1984 mega blockbuster Reckless but Adams expanded his songwriting and delivered a pretty solid album. The song arrangements are intricate and producer Bob Clearmountain filters Adams voice so it really stands out in...

Can’t believe this is the “Classic Years” and Breaking Hearts isn’t!!! There’s not much substance to this album and his singing often sounds very formulated.
|
|
Beautiful box set with 6 individual coloured discs. Full length cuts that are better than the album version in my opinion.
|
|
I own this ubercool 7" PD! I have them all actually! Great collection pieces!
|
|
Do I smell The Works 40th Anniversary boxset in 2024????
|
|
This sounds fantastic. I have the 1992 remaster and that sounds cold in comparison.
|
|
These orange and grey discs look so cool. The PDO screen prints from the early 80s are awesome. Blue swirl, (vertigo), watermelon, Dick James, Rocket, Charisma rays, etc are stunning.

I once had this in the picture disc boxset that also contained Nursery Crime and Foxtrot. It sounded dull and lifeless. I also have an old vinyl copy.
The artwork on the first CD editions was butchered then the 1994 Definitive series had this... See full review |

As a long time fan of the band, and after buying all the CDs and picking up the vinyl over 33 years I decided to re-examine the Gabriel era. I had this on CD, picture disc in a box set, with Trespass and Nursery Crime but sadly sold it. Anyway those...

Since Genesis proved the world wrong with the success of ATOTT in 1975, their first album after Peter Gabriel left they were on a mission and in late 1976 along came the follow up. It’s a different if less cohesive beast but Banks really shines on...

It’s a pity this collection is top heavy with We Can’t Dance material. More 70s stuff would be better. It’s remixed like the 2008 remasters so it’s a handy demonstration set.
There’s a few deep cuts here too like Inside & Out and Pigeons. There’s the... See full review |

Just bought this so I could hear the early version of Surfs Up, one of Wilson’s greatest songs. Til I Die is great too. I love all the more obscure Beach Boys albums from when they weren’t the nations favorite.

I picked this up at a record fare for €5 yesterday. Insane really as there’s great stuff on this 70s Webb 5 CD package.
He sings all the songs and there’s a few interesting things here too. Land’s End from 1974 features Elton John’s band, Dee Murray,... See full review |

August is a better album that the previous years Behind The Sun, production sounds shaper and less cluttered first of all thanks to Tom Down helping out with Phil Collins and secondly to just a core band of musicians, Nathan East on bass and Greg...

The production has dated horribly on this one. Some songs like knock on Wood sound natural, almost live, but dated synth sounds should have been cut in favour of real horns.
The Templeman/Waronker tracks have more life in them I must add. Some of the... See full review |

Just picked up an original UK fir €1 and it has three extra tracks not on vinyl. My vinyl was damaged anyway so this is a nice addition!
|
|
I’ve had this since it was released. What an amazing sounding pressing and then there’s that incredible music!!!
|
|
Great pressing. Sleeve and inners are a bit thin. The music is mature and makes me miss the mid 90s magic!

|
Unfortunately Blur are in mid life now. I was hoping for a belter but we get this mellow vibe that leans a little on Keane/Arctic Monkeys latest stuff. I love Keane and I dig the Monkeys too but even listening to The Magic Whip which still hasn’t...
