Atlantic records has re-issued the first three Led Zep albums…

Slate:

> Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin III have recently been given deluxe reissues by Atlantic Records. Each package contains a remastered version of the original album, along with a generous helping of bonus tracks. The first boasts a live set from a concert in Paris in 1969 (which has been floating around the Internet for years) while the second two include collections of rough mixes from the sessions from Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin III, respectively.

…and they sound awesome! I only have little TV speakers now, so am listening on some nice Koss headphones, and can hear every little pitter patter - then smash - of Bonham’s drumming.

Nice! I really love the “How The West Was Won” album… lots of great live versions there. Wish I was around during the time of the concerts though.

I splurged and got all three of the deluxe 2CD sets. The remastered albums do sound great, but I have to admit I haven’t listened to them closely in many years–and I have a much better audio setup than I did back then. The bonus live set from Paris that came with LZ I is pretty awesome.

It’s been fun reading the LZ discussions over on the Steve Hoffman forum. Man, those folks really get into the tiniest little details, don’t they?
