Don't mind the packaging although I would prefer hard covers for durability. Pleased with the mix on these CD remasters although I think some of the early Analogue remasters are superior in timbre and tone. Clarity was never an issue with Zeppelin albums so tweaking for a more precise sound really isn't what one needs to hear. All-in-all I'm glad I bought all the albums from Zep two to six as the sound is definitely superior to my standard CD versions. I didn't bother with Zep one as most other reviewers say this one is the weakest of the bunch and anyway I'm happy with my 1979 analogue-remaster. I will be buying the first six vinyl copies shortly although I already have excellent early vinyl pressings in my collection. I'm looking forward to comparing the originals against the remastered vinyl. It should be interesting! One thing has confused me, according to the adverts on Amazon, four out of the five Cd's should have auto-rip versions available for download, but I can't find any vouchers or codes within the packaging to allow me do this. Am I missing something Amazon?

MUST get.........
.....if you like this album and play vinyl. This is my favourite Led Zep album though I will leave its' merits/demerits to others to discuss.This vinyl is fantastic. Lovely job done by Mr Page. Huge depth and everything leaps out at you when it's meant to. In comparison to the original it sounds huge, and really polishes up the songs which sound like they were recorded yesterday.Even the ill conceived but brilliantly played "Crunge". I can hear what they were trying to do. Highlights are drums, bass and vocal remasterings. Can't think of a better hearing of Bonham's drums - "D'Yer Maker" and "The Ocean" (and "Crunge") are brilliant demonstrations of his technique and skill.It does a belting job of showing what Led Zeppelin was about and why they are so revered. It's so good I'd buy it twice

The brilliant Led Zep
No quarter is one of my favourite tracks of all-time. One of Zeppelins best albums imo.

Quality remaster pressing
The music needs no review if you are a fan of Rock. One of the best songs "No Quarter" is on this album, along with many other top notch tunes.The quality of the vinyl pressing is FAR better than the ones we were getting in the US. The copy that I had was full of flaws and had to be returned, which seems to be a common problem based off the many reviews I have read.The European pressing was highly suggested, so I ordered it and had it sent to me in the US. The suggestion was correct: the Euro pressing is superior, hands down. The vinyl was flawless, flat as a pancake and the packaging was perfect, despite being shipped from across the Atlantic.Highly recommended!!

Zeps fifth album
As with all Led Zeppelin albums, this was something a little bit different, but non the less a great choice of songs. They still sound as good today.

Gaps in collection
I had several gaps in my vinyl collection, this is a led zeppelin album I've never owned but is a worthwhile addition.

A Must Have for Zep Fans
Great album, one of my favorite Zep LP's, had to send my first copy back due to distortion on the Ocean track. I waited a couple months hoping to get a new pressing, sure enough this is a pristine cut. I still don't think the sound is as good as the original, although very close, but my original copy, now 40 years old was pretty worn out, so it needed replacing. If your are a Zep fan, then this is a must have. Don't bother with the deluxe vniyl version, if you want the extra tracks, you can download the deluxe Hi Res version at a reasonable price form HD Tracks.
