LED ZEPPELIN – Presence (Deluxe Edition Remastered 2015)

* Own purchase

Following the successful recent reissues of the first six LED ZEPPELIN albums, Deluxe Editions of the band’s final three studio albums: Presence, In Through The Out Door, and Coda were just released.As with the previous, all albums have been newly remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page and feature a companion CD audio comprised of previously unreleased music related to the original release selected and compiled by Page.
The first of the trilogy is the delicious “Presence“.

Originally released in 1976, “Presence” was recorded during a whirlwind 18-day session at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany.
The album – which peaked at #1 in both the US and UK and was certified triple platinum – crackles with energy on Zeppelin classics like “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” and “Achilles Last Stand” and delivers powerful jolts of the group at its visceral best.

The companion audio disc that accompanies “Presence” has five unreleased reference mixes from the sessions, which reveal works in progress.
Along with alternate incarnations of “For Your Life”. “Achilles Last Stand” and “Royal Orleans,” there is also the previously unheard instrumental curiously titled “10 Ribs & All / Carrot Pod Pod (Pod)”.

Jimmy Page has done a really great job on the remastering process of these Led Zeppelin classics.
The sound is pristine and clear, balanced with a proper dynamic range.
A Must.
