As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, 'There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them.' Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll; in its loving homage to and shameless piracy from the blues, its glorious and wretched excess, its transformation of hippie and folk-rock graces into a foundation-shaking kaboom, and its offhanded myth-making, the band turned everything caught in its wake into a reaction to it--or against it. The three non-album tracks the box includes are grace notes rather than lost jewels, but the point of the set is to be a Rosetta stone of album rock, the stairway to a gaudy paradise that they constructed. --Douglas Wolk

Rating: - Your Best Bet For An Instant Zep Collection!
Who dosen't like Led Zeppelin? Really, who? I once knew a co-worker who said he couldn't stand Robert Plant's voice, and I guess that could be somewhat understandable if you're focusing on the band's latter years when Plant got a bit whinny. But I'm sure Mr. Brian Alandar (that was his name) couldn't argue with Plant's incredible register climb near the end of "How Many More Times," the song that closed the group's debut album. That small section alone confirms Plant's vocal prowess and justifies his position as one of rock's greatest singers! As for me being a fan of the group, I had been away from a large portion of the band's catalog for MANY years. In junior high, Zeppelin ranked only second to The Beatles for me and I played my cassette collection to death. I could sing every Zep tune just like I could The Beatles, and that shows how much a certain group means to me! All these years later, I thought it was time to get reacquainted with the band's albums back to front and what better way than to just lay down my hard earned cash on this incredible set!
This 10-disc box set (9 studio albums with 1975's "Physical Grafitti" being a double) will, most likely, forever remain the best purchase to get an instant Zep collection. With the latest "Mothership" collection garnering more attention than it should and a new set of remasters probally waiting in the wings for 2009, fans shouldn't get their eyes clouded with pixie dust. There is no "outdating" to this superb collection, the sound quality is still top notch, and the packaging can't be beat. I don't think it could be improved apon. If you're feeling a bit iffy on the price tag keep in mind that you're purchasing 10 CDs and a small, hardcover booklet contained within a square CD holder case so the price is less than if you bought all the discs individually.
It's also worth mentioning that only in this box set is EVERY piece of original artwork from each album reproduced stern to stern. This isn't so with the individual releases, an example being "Led Zeppelin III" with it's famous "Farmer's Wheel" front panel. The gatefold with it's original text AND the wheel are reproduced in this box set. Also every inner sleeve that contained lyrics or photographs is reproduced as well, starting with the untitled fourth album whose sleeve contained the lyrics for "Stairway To Heaven."
This is a well worthy investment for ANY classic rock fan because there is no denying that Zeppelin was one of the greatest! The band crafted and incredible body of work from 1969 to 1979 that made the 1970's THEIR decade, just like The Beatles had ruled over the 1960's. Perhaps you'll like some of their albums more than others, but the mighty Zep didn't have one dud in their canon (well, save for the posthumous "Coda" in 1982 which is somewhat redemmed for this set by the addition of four extra tracks, even at that it still remains a bit of a hodge-podge). So if you gotta have some Zeppelin and don't mind spending a little cash, pick this one up before it goes out of print. Now all you need is "BBC Sessions," "The Song Remains The Same," and "How The West Was Won" and you're set! Just don't bother with the 1990 Led Zeppelin box set, why that one is still in print is beyone me!
Rating: - Remember that make out party in Doug G.'s garage while his parents were sleeping . . .
Maybe you hated Led Zeppelin in the 70s--your boyfriend played "Stairway to Heaven" on his guitar so many times you wanted to El Kabong him with it. Or maybe you were the boyfriend plucking out those first sad, tender notes of "Stairway to Heaven." Or maybe you don't even remember Led Zeppelin, you weren't born, or you were in the library reading Jonathon Livingston Seagull while your older brother listened to Led Zeppelin. No matter what you were doing back then, you will likely find that you love these songs now. They were considered "heavy" back then. I assure you, they don't sound that way today. I can't stop listening.
Rating: - The ULTIMATE Zepplin Collection!
A fantastic collection of CD's that covers the gambit. Well worth the the price if you're a true Zeppelin fan. Quick shipping and a neat storage box too! You'll be pleased with this collection.

I bought this Led Zeppelin Box Set for my son for his birthdy and he loves it.
Rating: - Great Led Zeppelin Package
What a great deal this is! All nine stuido albums "Led Zeppelin" (1969), "Led Zeppelin II" (1969), "Led Zeppelin III" (1970), "Led Zeppelin IV" (1971), "Houses Of The Holy" (1973), "Physical Graffiti" (1975), "Presence" (1976), "In Through The Outdoor" (1979), and "Coda" (1982), each with remastered sound, are featured here.
I don't think this awesome, influential band needs a big introduction but let's name the band members which were Robert Plant (vocals/harmonica), Jimmy Page (guitar), John Paul Jones (bass/keyboards) and John Bonham (drums). As you listen to each album chronologically, you can hear how the band evolves from their initial blues-rock act to incorporate a lot of different styles like funk, reggae, folk, and some eastern influenced songs. That's one of the reasons why this band still sounds fresh today!
Also included in the "Coda" album are four interesting bonus tracks: "Baby Come On Home" is a great outtake from their debut album, then there's "Travelling Riverside Blues" where Jimmy Page utilizes slide guitar comes from a BBC session and is based on an old Robert Johnson tune, "White Summer/Black Mountain Side" was recorded live for the In Concert BBC program and shows Page's eastern influence in his playing, and finally the most memorable of these is "Hey Hey What Can I Do" which goes in the folk direction so prominent on their third album. Easily the best of these four songs!
The only minor complain might be that the live album from 1976 "The Song Remains The Same" was left off. So don't forget about it!
Try to get both versions of it if you can though. That is the original CD issue and the new 2007 remastered & expanded edition because apparently there are some edit differences between them!
So the best thing is to get both and also don't forget about the "BBC Sessions" and the other excellent live album "How The West Was Won" too!!
In conclusion, this is a must buy for the Led Zeppelin fan!
Thanks for taking the time to read!
Later...
