Remasters cost me 4 quid from that crazy shop we went to, not like it's rare or expensive, you should get one easy.

For some reason I thought this CD was the Steve Wilson re-mix but turns out to be a 2003 remaster.

I have it on vinyl. I quite like it, especially the rear cover showing an SME arm 'playing' the rings of a tree stump (a pun on the title "Songs from the wood"). :lol:

Maybe I'm misremembering and it was a 3 x CD set not 4.

I've never got tired of it in 40 years so suspect I never will :)

I have the vinyl too, mine is a U.S import with the corner cut, which replaced a cassette recording from my mate's older brother's copy in 1983 or 1984.

This what the back side of the 4 CD set looks like. It is for sale on Ebay, but I didn't link to that because Ebay images I post don't appear on your laptop.

Re. Led Zeppelin,

I have both 'Mothership' and the earlier collection (the one with the shadow of a Zeppelin hovering over some crop circles).

I haven't directly compared the two (both on CD), but would imagine Mothership in being more recent to have better SQ.

Oops - just realised the compilation with the crop circles is 'Remasters'. :doh:

Popular opinion seems to favour the "Remasters" compilation. Anyway, I'm going to "borrow" the Remasters CD from my mate for comparison with Mothership, and be in no hurry to return it ;)

some versions of remasters had the zeppelin and some had just the crop circles.
