Classic Records LP's vs remastered CD's

Are the Classic Records Zep LP's better than the remastered CD's? Please only answer this if you are objective and don't love LP's and hate CD's or the other way around.

 

I am currently enjoying the LPs more than the CDs The remastered CDs can sometimes feel as though the emphasis is in the wrong place - over exaggerating certain elements - the LPs are a more musically balanced offering (to me).

All the best - Andrew

 

I too prefer the LPs over the CD's. Both are a little on the bright side but I find the LPs to have a more musical flow.

 

I have all the Led Zep LPs too and are very impressed with them.

Most of them are quiet pressings. Houses of the Holy is noisy on The Rain Song and No Quarter and IV is noisy on Stairway to Heaven, but otherwise they are quiet.

 

Listen closely, this might be damage to the master you're noticing! It sounds like crap, really. But I'll take it over a remix anyday. Hell, give me both.

I don't have the CDs, but you shouldn't be without the Classic vinyl. It's how these recordings were sequenced and designed to be heard. Anyone can buy a CD & play it, be a rebel & enjoy the vinyl!

 

I echo the sentiments on the Classic LPs. Generally they are excellent (Led Zep III being particular good).
