Thank you,”Melinda”, for talking about your ‘Led Zeppelin’, records !! My favorite records from, Led Zeppelin are: II , IV , Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. Note: Whole Lotta Love is one of my favorite, Led Zeppelin songs. I just need to get, Coda, Presence and In Through the Out Door to complete my, Led Zeppelin, collection. Have a pleasant rest of your week and weekend. Take Care. 🎤🎸🎵🎹🥁 Life is better with music.

Back in 1971 I was 11 years old! My Mom's best friends daughter who was 22 at the time had the most incredible collection and taste Led Zeppelin, The Who, Doors, Deep Purple David Bowie!! So I saved my pocket money and went to a market stall Which in the UK is a canvas top wooden tables cold raining normal day and I bought Led Zeppelin II it was certainly a first pressing and the Storeholder gave advice and I was a regular customer for 30 years!! You are the expert on Audiophiles I think its a minefield here in the UK so first pressings for me! But another informative 20 minutes!! Thanks Melinda! Ian

Melinda, please take some time to do something on Astrud Gilberto. You are one of the best and most respected “You Tubers” and you could give her a real tribute. It hurts to see someone that really blessed us go unnoticed,it’s a shame. 😢 Also, there are some great Japanese pressings out there…..maybe not rock but Jazz from Toshiba, King and Victor.

Hi Melinda! Great video. I’d like to recommend my 1974 Monarch pressing of Zeppelin 1, mastered by George Piros. Let me tell you, I have Several pressings of the album, and This pressing Blows them all out of the water! The sound is otherworldly! Best I’ve ever heard it, hands down. I have never heard the Classic Records version but I’m not exaggerating when I say this: I have a VG++ copy of the Zep 2 RL Hot Mix with SS and RL on both sides. It Does sound amazing. But! Comparing these 2 records, sonically my Piros 1 sounds Just as amazing as the RL. No doubt! The soundstage is wide, the detail is astonishing and the bass will shake your soul! Bonham’s drums sound like he’s in the room. In fact everything does. I can’t say enough about it. Anyway just wanted to share that. But Agreed!! I’ve been wanting them to release audiophile pressings of Zeppelin for a long time as well. Hey! Maybe Rhino will do them as part of their new High Fidelity series! Have a great day

[@MelindaMurphy]

Thank you for the information. I will have to search out the George Piros version. 🤗🔥 Take care.

Led Zeppelin is probably my favorite band (So close with Pink Floyd) so it was great just to hear you devote an episode to them. I’ve always thought for the most part all their albums sound great. But i trust your ears and judgement, so I’m sure once I get a system upgrade I will feel the same way. Zeppelin were magic so i very much enjoyed this episode. Thank you for making it Melinda.

Physical Graffiti really threw me for a loop when it was first released. I have my original pressing. I tried listening to it a number of different times in varying states of consciousness trying to conect to it and nothing worked so I just filed it away. Sometime later, I forget how long, I pulled it out and played it again, and WOW!!! Where the hell was I back then? Something clicked in my head and I absolutely fell in love with it. That album is really great.

[@billphelps5611]

it's interesting you should say that...back in the 80's when I first heard Physical Graffiti I did not like it. But through multiple listens something clicked and it all made sense. It is a great record and this is one of the many reasons I love records because I do listen to them all the way through and they grow on me. Some records you have to give a chance and listen again even if you may not like them!

[@fts81]

Led Zeppelin pressings are hard to navigate, and good, affordable reissues are needed and hopefully will be done. Early ones, especially 1 and 2 were not fantastically recorded, and physical graffiti, which is a hodge podge somehow of different recordings. I actually like the sound of Coda. And you are correct, many Japanese editions and club editions are superb. The Jimmy Page ones I find clean, ok, but too clean, lacking that grit and power tat Led Zeppelin knew how to produce so well and that was the key element in my opinion. Thanks for one more great video!

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree. My copy of Page's Physical Graffiti lacks power. I hope someone else gets a shot at remastering those amazing albums. Thank you and take care.

Timely video as I just completed my LZ vinyl collection on Sunday with the purchase of Coda. Glad to see that your collection is similar to mine, in the fact that it's a bit of a hodgepodge of good, but maybe not the ultimate versions. It can be tough watching the folks in the vinyl community talk about all their great sounding UK first pressings they bought years ago for cheap. Ahh well, the search to slowly upgrade the collection continues.

[@audiophileman7047]

Many years ago I remember listening to either LZ I or LZ II with some college friends. Jimmy played a solo that I particularly loved, and I remember one of my friends saying that what we just heard was blues. So I owe LZ a debt of gratitude for exposing me to blues in their music. Soon after, I went to my college town record store and looked at records in the blues section and really didn't know what to get. I saw a John Lee Hooker album called Folk Blues and bought it. Brought it back home and put it on the turntable and was disappointed. It wasn't electric blues and I hadn't discovered the incredible beauty of acoustic guitar blues yet. I sought out the electric blues players and really enjoyed them. Now I love everything blues. That leads me to my favorite LZ album. Like Robert Plant, my favorite LZ album is Physical Graffiti. I have it in a U.S. Promo pressing, and it sounds great. It's a very bluesy album with some great slide guitar playing by Jimmy on it. All of LZ's studio albums are really good; they're just different levels of good. Like you, I do hope that some really nice audiophile pressings will be released from LZ's catalogue. I hope that Chad releases them as all analogue pressings. Now that would be terrific. What I'd really like to see is some AP/QRP UHQR's of LZ's best albums. I can't wait until their current obsession with Steely Dan is over.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I agree! Move over Steely Dan, enter Led Zeppelin. That would be a dream come true. 🥰 I can understand the easy connection that Led Zeppelin has to the blues. They have probably introduced the blues to numbers of people. Physical Graffiti is a terrific album and high on my list. Thanks for sharing. It's great to discover a new band but it's even more amazing to discover another genre like the blues. That must have been an amazing time in your life. ♥️🤗 Take care.

[@audiophileman7047]

@@MelindaMurphy LZ actually borrowed heavily from blues artists and were sued by some of them and paid settlements. College days were tough. I had a very tough major at a top ten university, and I'd put in 14 hours days seven days a week to keep up on the fast quarter system. Music was an escape and helped me cope with stress. What people don't understand about the vinyl records we buy is how we just don't own a physical record. We own something that enriches our lives when we hear it and makes life more bearable.

[@rixvspinner]

The Zeppelin master tapes have always existed in the USA. Ahmet Ertugen worked with them at Warner US, recorded etc.. Although Zeppelin also recorded in the UK like Headley On the Grange and other studios with some big rats scurrying around I read. Also a black lab or hound dog, not sure. Hense the song Black Dog on Zoso (named from the 4 member symbols) that Melinda mentioned. The tapes always wound up at Warner US. That was a big century old house actually. THE UK Warner pressings can sound great but, in the case of Zeppelin 1,2,3 the orange label US and Canadian first pressings sound the best. As many know they had to remaster and cut Zeppelin II even though Robert Ludig (RL in the deadwax like Melinda mentioned) is the go to first and best pressing. The next best is Greg Calbi's reissue he mastered and cut using Roberts notes. He essentially redid what Robert did and it sounds excellent. I have not had the chance to compare it with the RL. This one has GC in the deadwax instead, from a 1973 issue so 4 years after the initial release of the album.

[@NickP333]

@@rixvspinner Hey, Rick. Thanks for the info on Greg Calbi. I will definitely look for his Zep ll. I’ve got a Piros, the Page (eh…) and will have a clean RL soon from a friend of mine. Have you compared the Piros to the Calbi?

[@mlblue5355]

Melinda, great video on Zeppelin! We definitely need Analogue Productions to do a UHQR on them, or even like the doors, 45-rpm on all their albums from the master tapes. Chad, you’re our only hope! Come on Chad, you can do it! Just invite Mr. Page to Kansas! Ok, another option for Melinda, is to try those early 90’s Japanese pressings. Some of those sound killer. Especially the Houses of the Holy one. I wanted to ask a favor from you, could you have Jimi Page release their studio recordings they did of Elvis’ Golden Records collection volume 1? They loved the album so much, they played it over and over when it came out! In New York, they went into the studio and recorded them doing covers of all the songs. Those tapes exist, but no one wants to talk about them, not even Mike from the Ingroove who’s a huge Elvis fan. I love Elvis and I love Lee Zeppelin. Melinda, thanks again for sticking up for the Zeppelin Japanese pressings! I really love them, especially the Zeppelin II and Physical Graffiti! I haven’t been fortunate enough to get the RL, but I do have a nice UK plum label of Zeppelin II. It doesn’t hurt my ears.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I would love to hear them performing Elvis songs. 🥰 That would be awesome. I wish Chad or MoFi would release some new reissues. That would be so awesome. Thank you and take care.

Good at the time, but seeing videos of them a little earlier and as Robert Plant has often said, they were under rehearsed for various reasons.

Also from Classic Records, labeled with the Quiex SV-P sticker, I have got LZ IV and Houses Of The Holy.

Of Presence I have got a 180g Jimmy Page Remaster, pressed in Germany, in very good condition. Last but lot least I have got the Missing BBC Sessions Tracks.

Congratulations Melinda you have a lot of very nice led Zeppelin records including the coveted RL times two very nice we do have hope because Chad Kassem at quality records has all the led Zeppelin classic records plates that were used to make all the classic records and they were not made in large quantity so they're still pretty fresh they will most likely be made at the UHQR type pricing that may be the only way to get the licensing but we have hope because we don't have to get the tapes Chad has the plates it's just a matter of getting permission to make the records. Enjoyed the video keep up the good work😊

That would be amazing. I would gladly pay the price for quality LZ UHQR's. I can only hope. 🥰 Thank you and take care.

¨Down by the Seaside¨ is my favorite Led Zeppelin song.¨Physical Graffiti¨being my favorite album by them. I recently learned that a song on Robert Plant´ s solo album ¨Fate of Nations¨ is a song titled ¨I Believe¨ that he also wrote for his son. Itś a beautiful song along with the lyrics. If you listen to it ¨I Believe¨ you will agree.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I will have to look that song up. What a tragedy for Robert Plant. 😒. Physical Graffiti is a fantastic album. 🤗♥️ Take care.

Hello Melinda! Superb collection! It's been a couple of weeks since I managed to get at least one UK pressing of all their original albums. I believe your Led Zeppelin albums ranking is very close to mine. I also have some interesting pressings, among them: The japanese LZ II mail-order exclusive edition which sounds much better than all other japanese pressings and Untitled first UK pressing signed by "Porky", which would be my pressing of choice.

[@MelindaMurphy]

Wow! You have some special gems in your collection too. 🥰🔥 Thank you and take care.

it is cool that you collect multiple copies of the same record. just know that if you change your hardware, especially speakers or cartridge the sound will change. not always for the better. i found this out the hard way. love your videos.

Greets from Great Britain 🇬🇧 In Through the Out Door is also my favourite and I adore Fool in the Rain. - I remember taking the bus into town as a school kid in 1979 and buying the album. - I also bought the 7” single version of Fool In the Rain, with Hot Dog on the b-side. - And I bought a Japanese import 7” single of Immigrant Song.

[@michaelivan9066]

@@MelindaMurphyYou can get that pressing for about $20.00. The Jimmy Page reissues are pretty good as far as I’m concerned. I replaced most of my originals from my youth with them. They were completely worn out from literally being played hundreds of times on cheap stereo systems.

[@louisbonilla6780]

I was lucky to see Led Zeppelin at Madison Square Garden during their "Physical Graffiti" Tour - Great show though Jimmy Page's hand was injured in an elevator door mishap so guitar gymnastics were few - In my opinion all Atlantic and Swan Song US pressings were superior to any European pressings - I found Japanese pressings expensive and tinny while British pressings were BOOMY! My all-time favorite is "Physical Graffiti" probably because that was the tour I witnessed live and the videos on KZbin prove that they were incredible to watch live - I believe all the Jimmy Page Remasters blow all the other pressings away not to mention all the unreleased content! Great video Melinda ❤

What did you think of those super deluxe boxed sets that were out years ago? I ended up getting them all. To me, they were some of the best sounding ones. They came with the vinyl, CDs, numbered cover art lithograph, plus a hard covered book. They also had the outtakes and alternate takes. The first one came with an unreleased show from October of 1969.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I don't have one but they look gorgeous. ♥️ I wish I would have picked at least one of them up. Thank you and take care.

[@frenchvinyladdict]

Nice collection. Their 4th album is one of my favorite Led Zeppelin album too. I got two copies - both French Press re-issues (mid-70s). For some artists/bands, I am on the quest for the best-sounding version or highly-collectible one. It may sound a bit silly, but I got a couple of records in my collection I'm no trying to replace by ''better'' ones or even not trying to acquire several different versions of it. Simply because some copies have a real sentimental value to me, like e.g., the Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album my father bought in the 70s we listened to it together which introduced me to the Floyds, and of course ''Led Zeppelin 4'' LP as well, as I was given a copy of this album by a kind, caring, and loving woman I used to work with, she knew I was 70s music freak and that I had just started to collect vinyl records, so she gave me as a gift on the day she retired the copy she and her husband had bought as newlyweds. Having only one copy of these album brings a sort of uniqueness.

[@MelindaMurphy]

[@richardsteele3272]

I would not mind all of Led Zeppelin's catalog being given the best reissues. I do have all of Jimmy Page's reissues on CD. Plus I bought all of the Albums from 3 to Coda. They were bought at Walmart or Target, I can not tell you how they sound because they are sealed and won't be open until my apartment is finished and my stereo is set up. I bought Led Zeppelin 1 and 2 in the 1980's from a company in Boston called Hot Rocks. I ordered 1 & 2 Japanese pressings I did open them up and they were played once and put back up. Over the years the OBIs got chewed up from moving. Everything else is in great shape and in plastic liners I have only one regret in that I gave away the posters to 2 of my friends, one was Pink and one was Green, they were identical. I still have the Lyric sheets they came with and regret giving the posters away. The rest of the albums I bought at Walmart were printed in Germany and they have a copy of the backstage pass in them. The Song Remains The Same was reprinted a few years back with extra albums but they are really expensive even used. I think they could redo that album as well Jimmy Page did not like the concert recording and wished they would have used better concert footage. I did track a nice used copy of the live album. I still need to get Celebration Day and the concert at the O2 Arena. I would buy all of their albums in high fidelity oh yessssss!!!!!

Hi Melinda- Great video and information! I agree with your opinions on the versions you have, and of course, the Promo LZ IV and LZ II RL Cut are among the best you can find here. I was fortunate and picked up 3 Zep Grails last week- a VG+ cut of LZ II RL/SS, a UK 1st press plum label LZ I and a UK 1st press plum label LZ IV- both were NM vinyl! No-they were not cheap! I played them over the weekend and was completely blown away!! Deep, wide sound stage, clean vocals, lots of punch/slam-very powerful, much like the RL cut. If they can reissue any Zep LPs that come close to those UK originals it would be incredible. Other copies that are noteworthy- US 1st press "Houses of the Holy" with RL mastering, Led Zep II first press Japanese is actually quite good, as is Japanese "In Through The Out Door" with "Strawberry" in the dead wax. The '74 US Monarch-pressed George Piros versions get high regards as well.

[@dougcallaghan6075]

A year old, but I just saw your Led Zeppelin review. As a teenager, I didn't really catch up with them until 1975 ( the great Physical Graffiti). I was completely blown away by Presence in 1976 which was played in its entirety on my local FM radio station. 'Achilles Last Stand' became the epic to end all epics. It contains Page's best solo (even better than 'Stairway' IMO). Can't comment on Page's remastering of Presence. I owned a remastered CD of that record, which had a marginal improvement on the drums and bass. The record lacks the expansive quality that it needs and the instruments are a bit cluttered in the mix. Page's solos are first-rate though. Hope you find that ideal vinyl Melinda. Take care.

[@raggeragnar]

Hello Melinda ! Interesting subject as usual. Although you have a great collection already , your interest for audiophile versions are quite easy to understand : you want to make up your own mind on which release you think sounds best on your own system ? Is that a fair assumption ? Or at least part of it ? We got the Jimmy Page remasters from 10 years ago ourselves. Also ; the other official releases behind you. EXCEPT ”Celebration day”. Before I took up vinyl again , around -14 , I stood in a mediastore with the vinyl issue in my hand and thought ”Cool”. Put it back and bought the Cd/DVD double pack instead. I could kick myself where the sun don’t shine for that. Now the price for a nice copy including shipping to Sweden is ridiculous. A year ago , I thought I got it online , but it was a scam and I lost the money. Take care. A&R

[@MelindaMurphy]

I'm so sorry about the scam. How horrible. ☹️ I found Celebration Day at a flea market a few years ago. Finds like that are impossible today. It would be nice to just be able to buy amazing reissues without having to dig through used LZ records. They are usually not in the best shape either. We'll see what happens. Thank you and take care. ♥️🤗

[@alanlough638]

Hi, Melinda, yes, I'm a Led Zeppelin fan as well. I have the 180 gram reissues of Led Zeppelin studio albums 1--4, Houses of The Holy, and Physical Graffiti. My 2 favorite Led Zeppelin studio albums are 4 and Physical Graffiti. The 180 gram reissues have superb sound quality and all of these reissues are imports. Now, as for Led Zeppelin 4--those symbols on the record label is another title interpretation for the studio album, and that title is ZOSO to my understanding. Now, in a previous comment on your KZbin Channel, I mentioned that I buy records in Pittsburgh, PA at Jerry's Records. Jerry's Records is a well known indie record store all over the world. Yes, I literally mean all over the world, not just in America. In fact, people from other countries come to Pittsburgh and buy records at Jerry's Records. It's such a well known record store, that well known recording artists and even actors and actresses also go to Jerry's Records and buy records at the store. I had the privilege of meeting Robert Plant at Jerry's Records. Yes, that's the truth. Robert Plant, is a really nice and friendly person. I had a really great conversation with him. He's so down to earth. On that day, I had bought Led Zeppelin 4 at Jerry's Records and I asked Robert Plant if he would autograph the album cover and he did indeed sign the album cover. I sealed that album and never play that copy, as I have the 180 gram reisssue of Led Zeppelin 4. Led Zeppelin is a great rock and roll band. I grew up listening to Led Zeppelin when I was a pre--teen. Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars, Alan.

Led Zeppelin was never one of my regular go-to bands. However, I do have all their albums. I feel fortunate for buying all my LZ albums at retail upon release for under $5 an album ( Believe I paid $3.29 for RL mix). It is always interesting to hear how other fans rank and talk about an album/band. LZ I and In Through the Out Door have always been my favorites. LZ I is their best album IMO. In Through the Out Door is their most progressive and enjoyable. LZ III is their most unique album. The Jimmy Page remasters are excellent in sound and curation of the bonus material. Honorable mention should be given CODA. The bonus disc is the unsung gem of the band simply because of the two tracts they recorded in India.

Those were the days! When I started buying records they were $2.97 - $3.57 depending on which store you went to! . I remember complaining when they went up to $4.98!

I'll admit I took the easy way out and just got the entire set of the Jimmy Page remasters. The only album I got the deluxe edition for was Coda, since it has some extra tracks that were on other Zep CD box sets (like "Traveling Riverside Blues"). I'm hardly into this type of music at all but for some reason, Led Zeppelin struck a nerve and I can set up an all-day playlist if I'm working outdoors, playing through all the albums chronologically. As for the sound, not having heard other versions beyond digital, I have nothing to compare them to and they are good enough for me. (Most importantly--the pressings are flat, clean, and quiet!) Never had the cash to get a clean Ludwig copy of LZ II, so I never bothered. I do have a $1 copy of In Through The Out Door that was a bit worn, and a clean used Houses of the Holy that was decent, but I haven't played them in decades.

[@MelindaMurphy]

I can understand the convenience and value of getting the Jimmy Page remasters. Page loves them and it's difficult to find older pressings in great condition. Thank you and take care.
