Led Zeppelin's 'IV' as a 2014 reissue: how Jimmy Page likes it ... Jimmy Page's quality offensive continues. Reissues have been announced for a long time. In 2014, their time has come: they're here. Albums "I" to "III" were released at the end of May, and "IV", also known as "Zoso", "Four Symbols" or "Untitled", will be available from October 2014. In the sixties and seventies, bands and labels took off even faster. Led Zeppelin released one album after another in their early years. Three LPs in 15 months is breathtaking by today's standards. Because Led Zeppelin often performed live, they even wrote all the songs for their first six albums between 1968 and the summer of 1972. The LPs "I" and "II" were commercially and chart-toppingly successful at the time of their release. "III", on the other hand, was not initially well received by the press or fans. The LP quickly reached the top of the charts in the US and UK, but after an initial upswing, sales plummeted. Somehow Led Zeppelin didn't like not having the same sound on every album. This in turn didn't sit well with Jimmy Page, who didn't speak to the press for two years about it. And that led to the fourth album being released without a title and without accompanying lyrics. That's why there are several names for "IV": "Zoso", "Four Symbols" or simply "Untitled". Many Led Zeppelin fans consider the fourth album to be the band's best album from today's perspective. This is confirmed by the absolute sales figures: it ranks 3rd among the best-selling albums of all time in the USA. "IV" is the perfect combination of hard and soft, light and dark. Along with "Stairway To Heaven", it contains Led Zeppelin's most famous number ever, while "Black Dog" is the essence of what made each of Led Zeppelin's musicians who they were. In interviews, Jimmy Page hasn't said one good word about the first digital versions of Led Zeppelin albums that came out in the mid-1980s. In his opinion, the sound is too undifferentiated because the CDs were made from poorly mixed versions of the songs. This is not up to the quality standards of a world-class band. And since today the possibilities of digital remastering for all formats are well developed, it was definitely worth the wait. At least, that's what Jimmy Page thinks, and he implores all fans not to listen to MP3 reissues under any circumstances. A digitally processed, remixed version of "IV" has been created under the auspices of Page himself. The reissue is based on the original analogue studio tapes from 1970/71. Page was guided in the remastering by the principle that the albums were recorded on vinyl at the time, and that there are a number of recording formats available today, all of which have their merits and the remaster should therefore do justice to them. In addition, the deluxe edition of Led Zeppelin "IV" includes songs from the original album in previously unreleased alternative mixes. "Misty Mountain Hop" and "Four Sticks" plus mandolin and guitar tracks.
