LED ZEPPELIN – Houses Of The Holy [Deluxe Edition remastered] (2014)

*

The second wave of reissues in LED ZEPPELIN‘s overhaul of their classic catalog pretty much follows the path set by the first: remastered versions of the original albums on one disc, and alternate takes and mixes on the other.
The chart-topping “Houses Of The Holy” has been remastered resulting a very warm, vinyl-like sounding CD.

This remastered reissue is a testament to the album original glistening production by Jimmy Page, who doesn’t get enough credit for his meticulous behind-the-boards work on those Led Zeppelin albums.
On the extra CD (featuring a newly created negative artwork) we get quite interesting versions, including a more keyboard rich mixes of “The Crunge” and “No Quarter”, the latter warmer than the original.
Also the ‘Working Mix’ of “The Ocean” sounds slightly more thunderous and rocking.

These Led Zeppelin remastered Deluxe Editions shines in its pristine clarity.
A must have in any collection.
