The Led Zeppelin reissues of the Fourth and Houses of the Holy albums were released today. The albums were released in different format of CD, Digital and Vinyl. The bonus disc with each album features different mixes of the Zeppelin classic. Some more noticeable than others as The Battle of Evermore, The Song Remains the Same, Over the Hills and Far Away and No Quarter are instrumentals. The ending of Stairway to Heaven rocks more than the original as the guitar in the finale is brought in earlier in the coda. The Ocean features more clarity of Plant’s vocals towards the end. While I enjoyed the reissues of the first 3 albums more these pieces do give you a different look into the Zeppelin songs. Worth checking out.
