Even though I think I own pretty much every Led Zep album, I couldn’t resist picking this up. It’s very well sequenced and makes their achievements lucid and easy to comprehend. Full of incredible music. This really is a blueprint for so many things; not just – as is repeated ad nauseam in every Zep biography, including the liner notes here – for every hard rock and heavy metal album made in the following 20 years, but also for so much that’s relevant and good in today’s music scene. Jack White learned almost everything he knows from these guys…
And is it just me, or is music becoming cheaper and cheaper at retail? It really pays these days to go to “New Release Tuesdays,” or at least within the first 2-4 weeks of a new release. Single CDs, depending on whether they’re released by a major label, are often marked at $12.99 or $14.99 – I’ve seen some as ow as $9.99. Mind you, music has always been cheaper in Canada than anywhere else, so this could be a Canada-only observation. This one cost a mere $16.99.
