Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the few truly bigger-than-life rock bands, Led Zeppelin continues to cast a giant shadow over contemporary rock two decades after the group's break-up. The slickly packaged set offers a solid introduction to the band's work, with two discs of remastered, sonically upgraded album tracks, plus a third disc of interviews with surviving band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. Hearing all these Zep classics--"Stairway to Heaven", "Whole Lotta Love", "Dazed and Confused", "Rock and Roll", "Kashmir", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog" "Good Times Bad Times", "Heartbreaker", "Houses of the Holy" and "The Song Remains the Same"--assembled in one package is an impressive testament to the group's pervasive influence. --Scott Schinder

 Shows what an overrated band they are May 23, 2008
1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I knew the obvious Zep tracks (Stairway to Heaven, Whole Lotta Love, etc) and keep hearing about how good this band is, so I bought this compilation. Apart from the hand-full of well-known tracks, most of the tracks on here are very poor - repetitive, unimaginative and self-indulgent. Several tracks 7,8 even 10 minutes long, with the same riffs just repeating over and over again; they might have been OK as 3 minute songs, but stretching them out just shows how little there is to them.
If this is the best they can come up with as a compilation, I'd hate to hear the tracks that were left off.
Maybe they are just an acquired taste, or maybe they are just overrated.
 Covers band August 31, 2007
4 out of 20 found this review helpful
Hmm, saw this lot a couple of times in 1969 and 1970. Unfortunately I couldn't avoid them because they were at festivals.
I always thought of them as a covers act actually but a covers act with a difference. They didn't really tell people they were covering their songs until Willie Dixon caught them at it with a 'Whole Lotta Love'. Still Willie made a few bob out of that.
Anyway, they're OK if you didn't first hear them after owning Jeff Beck's Truth - because in truth (no pun intended) their first album sounded like a poor duplicate - a sort of Jeff Beck tribute band like you'd see in your local pub. Anyway I now think of them as a sort of Westlife with guitars. OK if you like that sort of thing.

 What's the point? May 18, 2007
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
If you've stopped on this page long enough to read a review, I'm going to assume you're not a hardcore Led Zep fan who already has every single album. So I'm writing this review for you guys.
Instead of simply reviewing the band like some people who've given five stars seem to have done, I'm going to review what the point of someone who has no Led Zep CDs buying this CD.
Almost none.
I can understand why this was not called the "Best Of Led Zep". It's missing "Moby Dick" and "When The Levee breaks". Two songs that I definitely consider to be in the top ten Zeppelin tracks. There's some really good stuff on the first disk here, including Immigrant Song, Heartbreaker, Black Dog, Stairway to Heaven. There's also Whole Lotta Love, which I'm sure you'll recognise. We'll ignore the dislike I have for the middle section of that particular song, there's inventiveness and there's good songwriting, the two aren't always the same.
The second disk, I didn't really like so much, but someone must, or they wouldn't have put it in would they?
Ok, so if you buy this double CD as your first Led Zep CD, what do you get? You get an introduction to a fair portion of Led Zep material, but some gaping omissions and some strange choices in the track listing. You also get an incentive not to buy the individual albums: the feeling that you're buying half the tracks on each of the first four albums twice. Surely it must be cheaper to just buy the first four albums? So, essentially, of the group of people who don't have a single Led Zep album, the only people who should consider this as a candidate to become their first Led Zep CD are the people who are either (a) Strapped for cash and unable to find any other retrospective collections, and (b) People who aren't really sure whether they are going to like the band. I'm going to go slightly against popular opinion here by not suggesting that no one on the planet should fit into that category. Some people just don't like overly experimental rock music of inconsistent quality. Don't get me wrong though, whenever Zeppelin were onto a good song they were onto a very good song.
As a final thought, I'd just like to say "What's the point?" for two reasons: Firstly, what's the point in anyone who doesn't fit into the two previously mentioned categories buying this cd as their first Led Zep purchase? Secondly, what was the point for the record company in releasing this CD without Moby Dick and When The Levee Breaks? Surely they could have taken off one of the tracks on the second disk and shoved them in there somewhere?
Best ever re-master January 20, 2007
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
How anyone true Led Zepplin fan can discount this masterpiece of re-engineering as an item that gathers dust on the shelf is beyond me. For anyone who loves their music and has a half decent hi-fi system, this has to be the best re-mastered CD package in music history. Jimmy Page's re-works breathe new life into every track. We can all moan that our favourite Zep track is missing etc. etc. but there is more than enough on here to savour. A classic!
