I was hoping for more live stuff instead of outtakes but I'll still buy because the first three sounded fantastic.

Is he going to dump out the whole sack through the year..?
I'm only interested in the ZOSO and Physical Graffiti remasters. PG per Wikipedia is 82:15 long, too long to fit on one CD. Hmmmm...if they cut Boogie With Stu, it'd fit on one CD.

Hey, leave "Boogie With Stu" alone! Cut "D'Yer Mak'Er" and put it on HOTH if you have to. I'll not mourn the loss of that giant gobbling turkey.
What they could have done of course is spread the 'surplus' tracks from PG back to whence they came, so that for example "Boogie..." and "Night Flight" go on LZIV, and so forth. Same goes for 'Coda'.
This has "wait for the eventual box set" written all over it.

But...but....it's the first time a lot of us white guys had heard reggae!Cut "D'Yer Mak'Er" and put it on HOTH if you have to. I'll not mourn the loss of that giant gobbling turkey.
Oh yes it will, when I download the remastered version to my iPod and burn the album to a disc.Anyway, let's not steer this thread towards a pointless discussion on making Physical Graffiti a single album by removing whatever track. It won't happen anyway...

Plenty of other crud on that compilation album that can be edited to make it a single-disc affair
Much worse than D'yer on the HOTH album (Crunge, Dancing Days and Ocean, for ex)... If you really want to add stuff to HOTH, just add the HOTH song to it (not that it's any good and will raise the level of the album, though)
Yup!! But I'll pass up on everything
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
none of these remasters included the previously unreleased tracks released on past remasters.
so far the first set interests me because the bonus disc is a full performance from their first tour.
as far as i'm concerned, the rest of the bonus tracks are just crumbs.
The mandolin/guitar mixes on the two acoustic songs on IV are quite enchanting. Ditto the instrumental "No Quarter" on HoH.
We were on the road last weekend and I stumbled on the roots/blues/jazz station of our statewide public radio. They were playing Neil Young's "Downtown", which was pretty loud for that station and of course, has a couple Zeppelin references. Next up, "Misty Mountain Hop" off the new reissue. The drums seemed to be up more in the mix, just sounding furious. When the DJ came back he was marveling at the sound of the reissues.

That's good to hear. Looking forward to hearing them. Speaking of Bonham, I've been listening to him play with McCartney of Beware My Love from the Speed of Sound Remaster. It's interesting hearing him play with Paul. His style and sound didn't change much.

I'll be reviewing soon, as I did the first three...but they sound great.
I bought 4th and HotH today, 2CD deluxe versions..have listened to bonus disc of the 4th. I have heard some nuances I hadn't noticed before - the acoustic guitar on 'fanfare' moment in StH, very clear drums and percussion sound in Four Sticks. Unfortunately, the track When The Levee Breaks hasn't changed absolutely. Same drums and guitar mess, as ever, no improvement at all.
Heard about this tonight when Jimmy Page was the guest on Letterman. Jimmy has a new book out too apparently.
I've had HotH for about 3 weeks or so and I'm just now getting around to ripping it in iTunes. For some reason iTunes/the iMac does not recognize the disc at all. Works perfectly in the car.
<sig out of order>
If I were to cut a track on Houses of the Holy, it would be The Crunge. If I were to replace it, the logical choice would be Houses of the Holy.
BTW, I have the HD Tracks 96/24 wave files for I, II, IV and HOTH. They sound much better than any of the vinyls or CDs.
I miss the days of listening to LZ on tape with all the high end hiss, when I couldn't stop playing their music. What a great band.
