LED ZEPPELIN

All sources are audience recordings unless stated. Some of this collection would have been originally been traded on CDR pre-2006 but most, if not all, have been supeseded by electronic trades, torrents etc. Please let me know if you can fill any gaps. Most of the notes here are mine, but some comments are from various other collectors to help compare against other versions and determine imperfections.

For the sake of comparison, I've listened to Zeppelin Digital's 1st Gen alongside Dadgad's Unknown Gen and Empress Valley's "Master". IMO, I think ZD is the best as it sounds more natural. You can hear the NR used on Empress Valley's which puts me off and Dagdad's shows some generation loss. ZD is clearer overall - maybe a case of the master (which EV's is supposedly from) degrading more than the 1st Gen? Both Dadgad's and EVSD have more time at the start and end than the common 1st Gen > DAT transfer which the ZD is derived from. A KRW_CO Master > CDR version is the same as the ZD but adds in digital clicks. Whether EVSD really used a master source is anybody's guess. If I had to put them in order of preference: 1. Zeppelin Digital, 2. Dadgad, 3. Empress Valley
