What’s the best sounding Zep on vinyl?
Been enjoying my 25+ yr old copies of Zep on vinyl recently, don’t ever want to get rid of them but with all the remasters over the years wondering which vinyl versions are thought to sound best?
I’ve heard the recent reissues on vinyl are pretty good?
My reference (for mastering quality and zeppelin “groove”) have been the pre-remastered Barry Diament CD’s, which sound great.
But it’s not vinyl.
Any thoughts welcome chaps.
*EDIT*
Meaning more which VERSION/ which remaster is the best sounding of their catalogue on vinyl, rather than individual albums.
The recent 3LP reissue vs...others.
Thanks.
Thanks.
