Is this happening with anybody else’s copy? Some part of the mix are kinda quiet but some parts seem louder? -
I have this one with the label of Led Zeppelin I. But it plays the right songs (Led Zeppelin II).. anyone else have this misprint? -
Edited 5 years agoSo what people talk about when they think this sounds bad is most likely the digital mastering. I myself was expecting this to be a great sounding issue but after listening I felt like it was missing something and still prefererad my older 70s issue. I thought it had a lot of detail with a clean press but for some reason sounded very flat and sterile. If you are looking for the best sounding new versions of these albums I hear that the Classic Records releases are a good choice. They are very expensive but are made by people who really care and do great mastering for vinyl. I myself am getting one and doing a blind test to see which I think sounds best between the 70s issue, 2014 remaster and 2007 Classic Records version. In the end its a good record and if you dont mind that much its just a great deal, but personally I would go for many 70s reissues that are in NM condition over this.
Update:
The Classic Records release by Grundman are easily superior for some albums and closer with others, they are never worse than the 2014 reissues however. In this case its quite close though and you since the Classic is very bright at times you might prefer this.
