Utard Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I am looking at getting a Led Zeppelin box set. Does any one have one of these? What one is the better one? Definitive Collection Box Set or The Complete Studio Recordings They seem to be about the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have this one..... I have both the Vinyl (4)and CD (2) sets and both are very good "sound" wise. [Y] I hope this helps, Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utard Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I ended up getting the Definitive Collection Box Set. It is in the mail. I will put up a review later for any Zeppelin fans after I get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechMan Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Both, the one Dennie posted and the latest Song Remains the Same box set on 180 gram sound pretty good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennie Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I ended up getting the Definitive Collection Box Set. It is in the mail. I will put up a review later for any Zeppelin fans after I get it. Nice! Is that the Vinyl or the CeeDee's? I read this review of the CD's and wanted to pass the info on, just in case.... Pretty awesome set; be careful when handling the "In Through the Out Door" sleeve, however., July 15, 2011 By Rock-a-holic - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Definitive Collection Box Set (Mini LP Replica) (Audio CD) While these mini LP replica CD's tend to be pretty pricey, I like to collect them here and there because I love the authenticity. Particularly for older albums that were originally produced on vinyl, these versions present the albums in the way that they were intended. I wish they could just start producing all older albums in this way on CD at the same cost as jewel cased or digipak CDs. Soundwise, this set is probably no better than other sets that you can get for quite a lot cheaper. However, the authenticity and vintage flavor makes it worthwhile if you're into that sort of thing. And authentic this set is, all the way down to the frickin' watercolor feature on the "In Through the Out Door" sleeve (a feature that I personally think could have been safely omitted). Beware, do not touch anyware on the image part of this sleeve with bare hands unless you want colored ink all over your fingers and a ruined sleeve. Just the natural oil on my fingertips was enough to bring out the color. The first time I took this out to play, I was listening to the CD and examining the artwork when I noticed a bunch of blue, green, and red ink on my fingers and smeared on the sleeve. I thought, "well, when they say replica, what they mean is REPLICA!" I figured I might as well finish bringing the color out now and hopfully prevent further smearing, so I took a brush with a little water to it...that was a mistake. The colors were bleeding out of the lines of the images and making a further mess. I tried to carefully wipe some of the color off around the borders to clean it up a bit while it was still wet, and that ended up rubbing some of the paper (and artwork) off. I decided to just leave it the hell alone from there; so much for that sleeve. Please learn a lesson from my misfortune and only handle this sleeve by the edges or with gloves if you would like to preserve it. Serious collectors probably don't need to worry because they probably wouldn't even take it out of the plastic packaging. However, for less anal collectors who like to enjoy their things, but keep them nice, this advice is for you. Overall, this is a great set. I only dock one star for the high price, the annoying adhesive on the protective sleeves, and for the "In Through the Out Door" crisis mentioned above. The cool thing is, I think you get all 6 covers of "In through the out door"! Dennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
