Summary: Overdue
Comment: The mothership is as grand as its' title. Amazing packaging, has a colorful booklet that let's a fan into the world of Led Zeppelin, and all the vinyls sound epic. Each song in the collection is a classic for both the average fan and a true fan.

Summary: Led Zep set
Comment: Very satisfied with purchase. Would recommend that Amazon.com try to package vinyl shipments so they don't shake or move in package to prevent damage. Thanks, Norm.

Summary: A must-have for any fan of Led Zeppelin
Comment: I hesitated for about 2 seconds before spending $60 on a 4-LP box set, but man was it worth it! The remastering quality is top rate - it's not like they just "cleaned up" the originals. Levels, channels and fades have all been reworked. I put on the record and played several tracks simultaneously to the 4-CD box set from 20 yrs ago (switching the input selector back and forth). It's like night and day, you wouldn't believe the improvement if you didn't hear it. Dazed and Confused is the perfect track for comparison with the huge dynamic range and monster drum riffs. The drum mix is the biggest improvement with the new master - they go from muddy and flat on the old CD mix to crisp and 3-dimensional on the new vinyl.
I'm listening through a high-end Rega Mira3 amp and Rega Apollo CD, Technics SL-1200MK2 TT with AT120 elliptical stylus and Paradigm Studio 20 loudspeakers.

Summary: I Know the Songs are the Same BUT...........
Comment: There really is a difference in the sound.
I usually listened to the 4-disc set with the green leaf on black background, but now I listen to Mothership.
I hear notes I never heard before and I can almost understand all the words....almost.
The sound is much better and is worth the money.
If there is a Mothership Two, I will certainly buy that also.

Summary: A mild improvement over the "Early Days" and "Latter Days" CD's
Comment: I already have Led Zeppelin's 10 CD box set, but I still wanted a "Best of" collection for my carousel CD player. I once had their DVD of "Led Zeppelin" but that was just too much of the same thing over and over.
What made "Latter Days" so disappointing was that it didn't include the very important Pop charted single of "D'yer Mak'r". A good Led Zeppelin collection can't dismiss that important track. "D'yer Mak'r" is just as important as "Stairway To Heaven."
I enjoy listening to Led Zeppelin more than watching them. I got rid of their double DVD of "Led Zeppelin" because it bored me silly. Having this one DVD included in this "Mothership" collection is tolerable because it doesn't overly repeat so many songs. And watching them live is kinda creepy. It would make more sense if they called themselves "Dogs" instead of "Led Zeppelin". Plant and Page both look like a couple of dogs on stage. I'd rather just keep my interest in Led Zeppelin as "audio", not "visual."
The packaging of this 3 disc collection sucks beyond belief. You have to pull up the CD's out of a very tight sleeve and you can only hope that you won't rip the sleeve with your knuckles trying to get the CD's out. I think I'm just going to keep the CD's in my carousel CD player. I don't think I'd watch the DVD again anytime soon, so this packaging (along with the DVD) will just end up in my junk drawer for a while.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Led Zeppelin redefined rock in the Seventies and for all time. They were as influential in that decade as the Beatles were in the prior one. Their impact extends to classic and alternative rockers alike. Then and now, Led Zeppelin looms larger than life on the rock landscape as a band for the ages with an almost mystical power to evoke primal passions.
- from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's web page on the band s 1995 induction
It's rare that a group can truly rock today s world, but the arrival of MOTHERSHIP, the first-ever comprehensive 2CD Led Zeppelin compilation with the soon to follow re-release of The Song Remains The Same on CD & DVD and a concert event reuniting Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones qualifies. Produced by Page and mixed by Kevin Shirley, MOTHERSHIP's 24 monolithic tracks were selected and sequenced by the band, who also oversaw the painstaking remastering. Spanning their epic career, the unprecedented collection pulls immortal songs from all eight of the band s classic studio albums, one of the 20th century s most enduring bodies of musical work. Arguably the most influential and innovative rock band ever, Led Zeppelin has sold over 200 million records worldwide. They continue to inspire successive generations with their passionate, groundbreaking, genre-transcendent, mystic, heavy and blues-infused rock n roll. Forty years since they formed, the song indeed remains the same.
