"Houses Of The Holy" by Led Zeppelin re-released in 2014: remaster by Jimmy Page Good things come to those who wait. Especially when it comes to remastered tapes. Reissues of Led Zeppelin albums have been announced for a long time. In 2014, the time has come: they're here. "I" through "III" were released in late May, and "IV" and "Houses Of The Holy" will be available in October 2014. Between 1968 and 1971, Led Zeppelin released three LPs in a dizzying 15-month span. Back in the 60s and 70s it was a brisk business, but today the frequency of releases is almost unimaginable. The album "III" was surprisingly not well received at first. Critics were particularly frustrated with Jimmy Page, who then didn't speak to the press for two years. In interviews, Jimmy Page let it be known that he didn't like the digital versions of Led Zeppelin albums from the 1980s. The sound is not distinct enough because the CDs were not made from studio tapes but from mixed versions. For the 2014 re-release, Page based it on the 1972 studio recordings. The remastering wants to get as close as possible to the concept sound that Led Zeppelin had in mind for vinyl pressings at the time. On the other hand, Page appreciates the possibilities of digital remastering and the multitude of digital formats that exist today. He tries to hit both sides of the coin and succeeds brilliantly. Led Zeppelin's fifth album "Houses Of The Holy" has long been underrated. Today, it is considered an insider tip among Led Zeppelin fans. Top numbers include the funky "The Crunge" (an ironic tribute to James Brown, a deliberately undanceable track), "The Song Remains The Same", "The Rainsong", "Over The Hills And Far Away", "D'yer Mak'er", "No Quarter" and "The Ocean". The album now has diamond status. It has sold more than 11 million copies. Deluxe and super deluxe editions of "Houses Of The Holy" include seven previously unreleased tracks on a second CD or LP. These include working versions and alternate rough mixes of "The Ocean" and "Dancing Days". These versions provide a glimpse into the recording process of Led Zeppelin as we know it from the 2014 reissues. It also includes a guitar accompaniment of "Over The Hills And Far Away" and a version of "Rain Song" without piano. The following points convinced the buyers of the 2014 Reissues "I", "II", "III": Accompanying LP or CD Original First Edition cover art (Super Deluxe Edition only) Never-before-seen photos (Super Deluxe Edition book) The 2014 reissues are true magnets that magically attract Led Zeppelin fans and friends of the rock classics in high-quality remastered editions. "Houses Of The Holy" is well worth buying and you will especially enjoy it in the Deluxe Edition and Super Deluxe box set. 2 CDs as Deluxe Edition: the newly remastered album and a second disc with additional unreleased studio recordings and a 16-page booklet. Review "A treat for every fan!" (Jazzthing, November 2014 - January 2015)
