Let's make our own Led Zeppelin IV "inmersion" Box set

Hi all!

For ages Floyd fans have waited for exciting releases, not just the same cash-in all over (remasters, Oh By The Way, etc, etc)

How many of you (well, us) ever though the original Alan Parsons quad mixes will never be officially released? specially after the James Guthrie's 5.1 mix SACD in 2003

But fortunately things have changed. And more and more artists, formely reclutant to ever open their vaults like Floyd, are now giving what fans wanted.

Well, there's been a lot of talk and rumours about Zeppelin in the last few years. After O2 reunion there were 40 anniversary remasters posts here (there and everywhere!). Nothing happened (Because of the Beatles remasters grabbing all the attention?)

In November Led Zeppelin IV will turn 40 years old. All of us are waiting for something special. So let's dream for a while, and make our own "inmersion" box set. Put as many CDs and DVDs (and/or Blu Ray) you like. Try to give the more accurate info about unreleased material, multitracks, live recordings, mixes, etc

Have fun. Enjoy

1CD = Reissue of the main album - best possible version

Nice hardback book with story of the album and photo's. High quality poster.

 

That sounds like great-deal, where can pre-order?

 

just curious, why is the 45 short mix of Black Dog so special ?
