Editorial Reviews :
Here are the original monsters of rock in all their epic, bombastic glory. The Who may have had more decibels (a dubious distinction), but no band took hard rock higher into the stratosphere than the Zep did with their cosmic mixture of deep blues, gothic melodrama, and the supernatural chops of Page, Plant, Bonham, and Jones. For listeners new to the Zep canon, there's no better primer of the band's range and power than this 4 CD box set, compiled and remixed in 1990 by Page himself. All the obvious song choices are here. But even if you've already heard 'Black Dog' once too often on the car radio, this set wisely spotlights several overlooked gems, including their ultimate blues lament 'I'm Gonna Crawl.' It's a blueprint that later generations of head-bangers tragically failed to follow.
Buyer Reviews :
The quintessential box set. Too perfect for words. Zeppelin, along with the Beatles, are without a doubt the most influential artists ever. Led Zeppelin worked for so many reasons: Plant's unreal vocal range, Page's ear for a great melody, Jones' master playing, and Bonham's redefining of what a drummer in a rock band really is. All the songs are remastered and picked by Pagey himself, and he's done a great job of including the band's classics as well as some lesser know, but equally great recordings. There's a good chunk of most of the albums here, including all but 1 song from Houses of the Holy. My only wish is that they had included 'Down by the Seaside' from Physical Graffitti. Love that song!! Overall the best box set I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot. Out of my 200+ CD collection, these 4 get played twice as much as anything else; they just never get old!!
