This is Led Zeppelin's best CD. No other CD truly defines this band better than their self-titled debut. All songs on this album are indispensible. Dazed and Confused is a masterpiece, as is Babe, I'm Gonna Leave you. But the real heart and soul of this record are its blues tracks You Shook Me and I Can't Quit You Baby anchor the album. Zep was always at their best playing the blues, just check out Since I've Been Lovin' You. Your Time is Gonna Come still gives me goosebumps, and How Many More Times is the hidden gem on the album. Zeppelin would never top the overall consistency of this album, it is a true landmark in rock history and should be in every fans' collection.

My review is 2 stars for the distributor and product (I would give 4 stars were I to review the album). The reason that these Zeppelin remasters are being sold so relativly cheap on Amazon is because the seller, MusicStore2000, is selling lesser quality imports from Argentina. First off, 2 of the 3 cases I ordered from this seller arrived broken and cracked (a real pet peeve of mine). As for the disc itself, the printing on the actual disc is kinda sloppy. The disc appears to be of lower quality than the other Zep remasters I already own. The sound quality is acceptable...I do think the disc does contain the '94 remaster. Overall, I would say this disc is on par with the ones you get from those 12-for-a-penny record clubs...slightly inferior to the store bought versions. What bothers me the most, though, is that nowhere on the Amazon sales page does it say you are getting Argentinian imports. I would not have bought them had I known ahead of time.
