Led Zeppelin Remasters in 2014 to include 2nd disc of bonus material (Pt5)

Don't worry, the modern hip-hop and rap artists have already de-sensitized them already to that kind of stuff.

 

Well that paragraph is enough for me not to take that reviewer seriously! Are you kidding me? These new remasters kick the crap out of the previous CDs and are much fuller and clearer with a lot of depth. I am glad I don't have this guy's ears

 

What most fathers can't admit to themselves is, they're already an embarrassment to their teenage daughters. Playing our 40-50 year-old music just adds to the eye rolling.

 

Yeah, I was astounded when I read his description of the SQ of the remasters. I wonder if he's actually listened to them? Even those who prefer the Daiments would never describe them the way he did.

 

I received my Super Deluxe sets for the I and II albums from Bull Moose today. Can't say that I'm too thrilled with their packing. The sets were placed together in a bigger box with just some wadded up paper for cushioning. The boxes got a little beat up but at least the innards of the boxes were unharmed.

Still, I'm hoping that Bull Moose puts a little more care into their packing methods for the future LZ sets. I'll probably contact them directly about it shortly.

 

I know that. I dont have a problem with the music. See the picture, though? Older man, younger girl alone in the same space, hearing any of that stuff? Maybe i'm getting conservative. Anyway, my original comment was meant to be somewhat humorous, not taken so seriously.

 

Back Door Man refers to slipping out the back door when the hubby or boyfriend gets home. It is not a reference to anal sex.

 

However, the writer did state that he listened to the digital versions, most likely on iTunes. Different animal. Remember that "most" people think iTunes are equivalent to CD.

 

That's not the way most people interpret it. I guarantee it!

 

The beauty of the line is that is can be/is both!

 

Maybe in 2014. I am unsure if it would have that connotation in 1969. But I was only 1 year old then and it would be many years before I would explore any "back doors"!

 

True, but I never in my life heard anyone think it is literally a guy sneaking out the back door.

 

Uh...by 1969, almost everyone except the Brady Bunch had lost their innocence. I was already in school by then, and there was this one kid in my class who used to clue the rest of us in on all things sexual. We were all second-grade perverts.

 

O.K...

 

I first heard Howlin Wolf (or maybe I heard the Doors version first) when I was a kid, like 10 or 11. I took it to mean he was sneaking around then, but at that time I had very little idea about such things.

 

From wiki :

In southern culture, the phrase "back-door man" refers to a man having an affair with a married woman, using the back door as an exit before the husband comes home.[1] "When everybody trying to sleep, I'm somewhere making my midnight creep / Every morning the rooster crow, something tell me I got to go / I am a back door man," Wolf sings. The promiscuous "back-door man" is a standard theme found in many blues, including those by Charley Patton, Lightnin' Hopkins, Blind Willie McTell and Sara Martin: "every sensible woman got a back-door man," Martin wrote in "Strange Loving Blues" (1925).[2]Robert Plant references the Dixon song in Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" (1969): "Shake for me girl, I want to be your back-door man." and also in "Since I've Been Loving You" (1971): "You must have one of them new fangled back door men!"[3]

 

Guess you weren't paying attention to Since I've Been Loving You

 

I always liked the idea of "back door man" meaning someone sneaking around. Not in my personal life, of course, but in song.

 

They would sound MASTERED compared to the flat transfers which would sound UNMASTERED. Don't all recordings need 'some sort of mastering to get the most' out of them? Are you saying it was a mistake for Jimmy to have ever had any of the albums mastered before their release?

 

Yikes!
Back Door Man is emphatically about a married woman having an affair..at least until the home video porn boom.
Allman's One Way Out is a sharp revamp on the theme
Believe it or not, quite a lot of the blues men were fairly provincial when it came to the freaky deaky.

Kids these days......

 

That is true most of the time however some us mastered albums don't sound much different than the final master. It depends greatly on the recording engineer who was working on them.

 

I did think, briefly about the song content, but figured (hoped?) she wouldn't be focusing on the lyrics so much as the difference between the song and Gallows Pole which we heard previously.

Thankfully, my wife's kids are not embarrassed by our taste in music - they like a lot of the same stuff. My own daughter is a different story. Lots of eye rolling there.

 

That's what I'm asking, seeing as Jimmy stated that nothing sounds better than listening to the master tapes, and the 24/192 flat transfers of the original analogue master tapes should've sounded identical to them. This is 24/192, not 16/48 or whatever they used to use to transfer recordings from analogue tape. If nothing sounds better than them, then why add EQing etc to them? Advice Atlantic Records or John Davis maybe?

 

my daughter is playing in the hallway outside my office/studio....she just said to me "you seem happy" and I said "I am. I am listening to GREAT music"
(was listening to the last track off side B of the bonus disc of LZ III)

 

Jimmy is referring to the mastered tapes when he says master tapes. The original tape always sounds the best is his point.
