new parts
the production makes it sound very modern
it doesnt sound like what you probably expect if youve heard the bootlegs,its much, much better
Hmmmm....I'm often suspicious of overdubbing new parts onto historic recordings. It's one thing if they were unfinished, but it's another if they are simply being redone just to sound more contemporary. I'm sure I'll love the album, but I do think tinkering of this sort should be kept to an absolute minimum. Jules stick with the bootlegs |

Although I'd prefer to euphamistically call them 'archive recordings', I'm sort of inclined to agree with you. |

I've never heard the boots. What's the sound quality like on those? Jules Worth your time to find the boots - simply for posterity's sake. They are all radio soundboards - so they're fine. I'm excited about the new mixes though. If they did half the job that was done on the Gold Dust / Royal release from '97, it ought to be a real peach! And your right.......Yorkshire is a helluva long way away! |

Just returned from the launch party, an interesting time was had, and it was good to meet Chris for the first time.
The new album sounds ace - according to Jerry, none of the recordings are the same as have been previously released, 'John the Gun' sounds particularly fine.
There are some overdubs because of things missing from the tapes, but these were at least done by the original musicians.
The remaining members of the band were there (along with Jackie McShee), but they did not play anything live because Kelly While was ill.
Karl Dallas (of New Electric Muse fame) interviewed Jerry Donehue, and at one point Elliot (from the shop) whipped out a bootleg of Sandy recordings that Jerry had never seen.
Had a chat with Kristina Donerhue aboout her performance of Battle of Evermore at Cropredy, apparently she was sh****ng herself as she has been a huge Led Zep fan since she was 8.
Pictures to follow when I sort them out.

In an age of disappointment and garbage how nice to get an album like this... after 38 years! It's superb... all those reminders how good they were... even live (they have a bad rep there but were bloody good on the few occasions I saw them including RFH - may have been QEH - Roundhouse and the infamous Elton John Albert Hall mugging...). For once it is no exaggeration to say this should be required listening!

Agree with everything Sir Martin says above - an evening well worth being witness to - and so good to finally catch up with Pat Donaldson, on sojourn from his South of France home.
Thanks to Sir Martin for the lift back afterwards!

I know I could have ordered it on line, but Barrow in Furness has no record shop, so I cannot share the joy until the weekend, when I can visit the small independent record shop in Bowness. Oh Barrow why do you mock me so!!!
