Remasters - Led Zeppelin

Some artworks will last forever. This one fits like a glove within misterious-mystical Zepp imagery.
Let's go for the music. I just can't remember when I bought this 2cd, but it is more than 15 years possibly.
Favourites I got then included Babe I'm gonna leave you, since I've been loving you, battle of evermore, stairway to heaven, kashmir, achiles and all my love.
My second coming will like dazed and confused, whole lotta love, rock and roll ...

Cons: again, no lyrics and nearly nothing, just 4 photos... And credits :-(

9/10 nice to have

IV


If there is a song amongst any other, this one is stairway to heaven. And I wanted to own iv, zoso, 'no titled' or whatever you would like to call it. Led Zeppelin's fourth opus. But I wanted to hear it properly since it is kind of magnetism that I can't help but playing track 4 :-)
but at last I begin loving rock and roll, black dog and another track which has suprised me, going to california which seems more a quite enjoyable Plant's vocal exercice. battle of evermore was always a nice perfomance as well.
Everybody heard the infamous sentence you can play Stairway backwards and you'll hear satanic messages. Well, Swan Song Records issued the statement at the time saying:
"Our turntables only play in one direction—forwards".
Quite elegant to end controversy ... somebody to tell me as well how to play it reverse... :-D
so, despite my likes in the 70s music go more for UFO, Alice Cooper, KISS direction, ... i consider this one a master opus, and not only for Stairway... although this is Stairway's record.

What is the meaning of the song? It has many interpretations. The one I like the most is, the mind changing of a materialist person to a spiritual one, which is still in time to choose the correct path. Wonderful lyrics and melodies...


10/10 classic status
