Led Zeppelin III (2014 remastered version with companion cd packaging) - dan roda tu boleh berpusing..........

Yes! The wheel can turn... what fun!!

Sambungan...dan sambungan...
Tahun ni dan sampai tahun depan, Jimmy Page perlahan2 keluarkan balik album2 studio Led Zeppelin ngan sound dia dah remastered lagik dan pada dia yang terbaik la untuk zaman ni.
Keluaran semua ngan bagai2 bentuk, dari paling jenis asas cd dan piring hitam sampai deluxe boxset yang memang giler la siap setiap album nye boxset ada buku hardcover semua complete secomplete nye. 

Bayangkan satu album dia punye boxset deluxe tu harga dah berapa, kalau kumpul satu persatu setiap album bila pelan2 dikeluarkan sampai tahun depan, dah confirm beribu2 la ye.
So takpe...kita pilih mana yang sesuai. So aku pilih perlahan2 bila ada budget, yang double cd untuk setiap album. CD berkembar pasal setiap album ada cd tambahan, lagu2 dan versi lagu2 yang rare, tak pernah dengar, remixed2 lain, jamming jamming kat studio zaman tu dan sebagainya...

Kalau korang memang ada dalam perancangan tentang remastered releases untuk 2014 ni tapi tak tahu mana nak start, mungkin korang boleh beli album feberet korang, tapi kalau korang nak pilih satu yang permulaan bagi deluxe editions yang dikeluarkan 2014, aku rekemen yang ni.

Macam aku, terus terang aku bukak packaging ni sekali je, rip semua cd ke 320kbps pasal aku cuma dengar waktu dalam bas,dalam train, dan jalan kaki je ngan headphone aku rasa boleh kasi sound enjoyment terbaik.
Lepas tu aku ambik gambo2 ni, jadi aku boleh ogle sambil tampal kat blog ni...lepas tu aku dah tak pegang lagi dah bungkusan cd ni haha.

Hands down this is the best so far of the first 3 albums that was remastered and released as different versions with different packaging. My budget allows me to get to get the 2CD versions. I still rip them to mp3 for my daily travels and walking enjoyment and I dont have the opportunity to listen to the actual cds really.

I feel like I am holding a toy, I really love the wheel, I love the packaging, and the companion cd, the second cd is also the best for me among the first 3.

The first cd, the Led Zep III album from 1971 if I remember the year correctly, has always been a bit unusual, with more slow moments, plenty of acoustic situations. I had always love Tangerine and Gallow's Pole.

(I read that Bruce Dickinson wants Maiden to make this kind of album after Powerslave because he was done after the exhausting World Slavery Tour. I dont mind his recommendation is not followed, because we got Somewhere In Time instead LOL!!!).

I remember listening to Gallow's Pole back then, and it was so dramatic, the song building up, and will the person be saved or will he not be saved... I find this song fascinating and here we got the studio version and the Rough Mix.

So besides this, the companion cd also carries Rough Mixes/ Alternate Mixes/No Vocals tracks of some other songs from the original album,
but most important it has these awesome three tracks I am so enjoying as I am not familiar with them at all.
- Bathroom Sound
- Jennings Farm Blues
- Key To The Highway / Minutes To Mind

And Jennings Farm Blues is such a happening instrumental. Such beauty to my ears.

Its credited as Rough Mixes. Amazing rare songs. I think there must be more gems hidden or undiscovered from the Led Zep recording sessions.

From the first three albums special packaging that I had talk cock in this blog, This release is my favourite when it comes to the COMPANION DISC contents.
