I wasn’t gonna buy the Led Zeppelin re-issues, all the Deluxe versions of the Led Zep albums but I think I’m gonna. Led Zep will release their final 3 albums of their reissues pretty soon. They will re-release “Presence”, “In Through The Outdoor” and “CODA”. I don’t have any of the Led Zep deluxe issues but I think I will start collecting them all this summer.

A lot of people are accusing Jimmy Page of re-releasing these re-issues as a cash grab but not really. I think the goal is that he just wants a new and improved sound. Not only that, he also wants unreleased material as a way to show fans how some of the songs started off when they recorded them like all the outtakes and stuff. I listened to the re-issues and I do notice a huge improvement in the sound than the original albums. The sound in the music is bigger and sounds different than the original physical CD’s.

More reasons for the re-issues is that Jimmy just wants to keep the Led Zeppelin legacy alive and he wants to celebrate the music with the fans. It’s not just about the money at all, the way I see it. I’m a die-hard Led Zep fan and I really should get these. Trying to decide whether I should get them on physical CD or get ’em from Itunes? I should probably just grab ’em from Itunes ’cause physical CD would be more expensive.
