That's your default answer to everything.
True fact.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Interesting article about Zepp's '68 appearance in Spokane, reputedly the first live bootleg of the band: http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2018/d ... ane-50-ye/

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Strictly speaking, this is true.

Hey, does anyone have a rip of the original CD pressing of Led Zeppelin I (the Barry Diament mastering). I have the CD and although it's totally clean, the first two tracks aren't ripping correctly. I've tried to search online a bit but haven't turned up anything. Really just need the first 2 tracks in FLAC if anyone has them from the correct mastering.

Never mind! Got those two tracks to finally rip accurately. The $2 I spent on the CD has been vindicated.

Have you compared it with the newer masters?

Just over Tidal. Honestly, the new remasters probably win it. Not brickwalled, really nicely transferred. Extremely minimal peak limiting. But I got into a bargain-bin hunt for old Zep cds so figured I'd fill out my collection with some older CD pressings for fun. The Diament masters are still pretty great, very crankable. And a fraction of the price at a used CD store if you're interested in physical product. I had the old Marino masters from the early 90s and they're not bad but probably the weakest of the three sets of digital masters.

I traded up for the newest ones a bit ago and definitely didn't regret it, but I didn't get much of a chance for comparison testing. Remasters are such a damn mixed bag.

Listening to - you guessed it - Frank Stallone.

Led Zeppelin 4. Gonna read a book on 'em now. Officially no longer able to call myself a punk rocker.

Which book? I've never really read anything about them, might be interested in taking a deeper dive.

Dunno yet. There's one, I'm sure.
