Led Zeppelin Definitive Collection Mini LP CD Issued by
the esteemed Rhino label in late 2008 to coincide with Led Zeppelin's
40th anniversary, the 12-CD DEFINITIVE COLLECTION box set presents all
10 albums by the legendary British rock band in small LP-replica form.
While the glorious music here remains the same--from LED ZEPPELIN's
"Good Times, Bad Times" to CODA's "Wearing and Tearing"-- it's the
packaging that offers something different, with every CD bearing a
scaled-down version of the original U.K. record designs. Primarily
geared towards the diehard Led Zep fan, this anthology also works nicely
for any brave soul willing to jump in and take on these rock classics
all at once. Since even the weakest Zep material is better than what
most other groups have to offer, anyone adding this mini-monolith to
their collection really can't go wrong. Led Zeppelin The Definitive Box Set - 2008 Japanese exclusive strictly limited edition digitally remastered 12-disc SHM-CD album set (8 single CDs and 2 double sets), comprising the entire LP output from the legendary rockers, from the eponymous 1969 debut through to 1982's posthumous "Coda"; each disc is superbly presented in a mini LP-style card sleeve, housed in a deluxe box set - sealed & stickered. Limited to 5000 copies!
The packaging indicates that the product was manufactured in Japan, and indeed, all of the CDs are in fact the (non-SHM) Japanese pressings. Each CD indicates a copyright date of 1994, suggesting that the source material for the CDs was likely the mid-1990s Jimmy Page remasters.
First, a few words about the packaging. It is spectacular, befitting the band and the music on the CDs. If only all CD reissues were packaged this nicely. The CDs are collectively housed in an elegant black cardboard box with the "LZ IV" symbols engraved on the binding, the front and the back, respectively. Each CD is housed in a mini-replica of the original UK album release.
Additionally, there are alternate album covers for "LZ I" and for "In Through The Out Door (numerous extra covers)", a nice bonus for the collector.
Of course, packaging is nice, but what about the music/sound? Obviously, if you a reading this, you know how fine the music is, particularly on the first six albums ("LZ I" through "Physical Graffiti"). I have now listened to "LZ I", "LZ II" and "LZ III". The sound quality is, in a word, outstanding and sometimes spectacular (and I am very picky about sound quality). I did an A-B comparison of this "LZ I" with the mid-1990s (currently available) Jimmy Page remaster of the same, and the Japanese pressing was superior.
