Album Description
Import only highlights collection compiled from the box-set originally released in 1992 but without the interview disc and at a much better price. Because of so many differing opinions, it's hard to pick a definitive Zep studio album because, to be honest, they are all pretty much definitive! If you're looking for a great introduction or overview of their career, then this is it. 26 tracks on two CDs and featuring the original box-sets cover art. All the big hits are here, including 'Communication Breakdown', 'Heartbreaker', Stairway To Heaven', 'Kashmir' and more.

Customer Reviews

Started me on my way to glory
Apart from a relatively cheap and obscure greatest hits package called 'Greatest Hits: 1969-1972', this was my first real taste of Led Zeppelin. I first heard it as my uncle's house and was so excited that I asked for it for my next birthday. That was some time ago now and Led Zeppelin has become my all-time favourite band. If you are just being introduced to the band, I would say that this package is the perfect place to start. It has everything the casual fans could ever want and more.

If you like this kind of music, these discs will probably have you rushing out to buy all of the band's albums like it did for me. One of the many good things about 'Remasters' is that contains just enough material to placate the casual fan and not too much material to overwhelm them.

Start here and if you like what you hear, keep going until you have everything!

The best (least expensive) Zeppelin collection
A lot of years ago I had the original Led Zeppelin Remasters 3-CD set. I sold it to get money toward rent during one of my summers of irresponsibility. My fiancé just got me this 2-CD set for Christmas to replace the one I had. I was kind of like "Uh, you got the wrong one!" at first, but then I realized that the only difference was that this set didn't include the CD that contained interviews with the band. I wasn't so mad after that because I never listened to that anyway. Also, this set comes in a much more reasonable case.

I recommend this set to any Led Zeppelin fan because it includes most of their really good songs. The only song I wish were on here but isn't is Tangerine. No big deal, really. And I'd rather have to haul around two CDs with all of the good songs on them than six CDs that have all of my favorites here and there.

Awesome introduction to Led Zeppelin
THE BAND: Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page (guitars), John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards), John Bonham (drums & percussion).

THE DISCS: (1990) 26 songs on 2 discs clocking in at approximately 144 total minutes (about 72 minutes per disc). Included with the discs is a 6-page booklet containing song titles/credits/times, several band photos, and thank you's. This 2-disc set is the (import) European "highlights" portion of the bigger 4-disc (54 total songs) set under the same name. This compilation follows the band from 1969-79. Digitally remastered sound. Produced by Jimmy Page. Label - Atlantic Records.

ALBUM REPRESENTATION: Debut "1" (4 songs), II (3), III (3), IV-Zoso (5), Houses Of The Holy (4), Physical Graffiti (3), Presence (2), In Through The Out Door (2).

COMMENTS: For a rock band as big as Led Zeppelin was, there simply aren't a whole lot of compilations to choose from. Personally, I think that's a good thing. For the true beginner, this mix is a great intro to the band. For the listener wanting a few studio albums - I'd recommend "II", "IV"... and then "Houses Of The Holy and "Physical Graffiti". All of Led Zeppelin's albums are essential in my book - some simply more so than others. Chronological order here is a bonus (the 4-disc set is surprisingly NOT in chronological order) and you can hear the band maturing through the years. Only thing that could have made this 2-disc set better is utilzing the whole disc(s). Both discs left approximately 8 minutes of blank space and why not put another song or two on each - plenty of omitted classic songs to choose from (i.e. "Over The Hills And Far Away", "The Ocean", "In My Time Of Dying", "Fool In The Rain", "Gallows Pole", "Going To California", "Thank You", "Living Loving Maid", "Moby Dick", or anything from "CODA"). The remastered sound is ultra crisp and the songs sound amazing. Looking for a great place to have many a classic Zeppelin song all in one place - look no further (5 stars).
