What state you in?

IL. Ordered ~1:27 Eastern last Thursday.

Got mine today. Record looks amazing.  Seems light for 180gm, but haven't had a chance to weigh it yet.  Sleeve is also very lightweight.  As long as it sounds as good as it looks all is well though.

Does anyone have the Amazon link? I don't see it there.

Also, anyone know what the companion audio is going to be on these deluxe versions?

 

EDIT: Details of the pressings here:

Searching Amazon didn't work for me either.  All of the different versions are linked via:

http://www.ledzeppelin.com/buy

Companion audio just appears to be alternate takes of album tracks unfortunately.

I would go that route as well...except it seems like III Deluxe is a little harder to come by.

Welp, still haven't shipped III to me.

Zeppelin IV and Houses of the Holy are now up for preorder on Amazon.  2 discs on deluxe versions...looks like they decided to up the price by 5 bucks as well.  39.99 for each.

Some artists do it to keep them on point. I know Ozzy does it too

I remember seeing Brian Johnson using prompters too during a more recent concert.

Ha, nice banner. 20% off ENTIRE SITE....excluding jeans.

Not mentioned until clicking details on banner?  Vinyl and a ton of other shit.

They are moving way faster than I expected. 200+ sold so far in less than a half hour so for those on the fence...id order one before its too late & avoid living with potential future regret

So this means we'll be seeing more Zombie represses in the future, right??

Have we heard a pressing number on the HT variant?

I hope they sell out relatively quickly just for the sheer fact that I am counting on represses of the other hard to get Zombie albums (and Educated Horses).

Got it as well. Sweet.

One of those Kittie girls is on this season of Big Brother...I think the one on the far right? hard to tell.

Hahaha through quick research it appears, A) she was on Big Brother 2 years ago, and B ) it was Jennifer Arroyo...who wasn't in the band until 2002, 3 years after that album came out.

Have the Pic Disc but will be buying this. Now PLEASE repress Super Sexy Swingin' Sounds and Educated Horses to complete his discography.

+1 on everything said here....also a repress of Sinister Urge would be great. Only other I don't have.

Yeah, I saw that a couple weeks ago.  NPR has the album up in its entirety to listen to.  Not too bad. Definitely has some songs that sound like his older stuff.

I Deluxe has shown in stock on B&N almost this entire time. I asked them about it and they said the website was wrong, but never really fixed it haha so that might not be a good indication, unless it had said backordered or something before.

It said something along the lines of "Backordered, usually ships in 2-3 weeks".

I talked to them.  They said a 3rd party warehouse has it in stock and they will notify them to ship it out to me.  We will see.

Nice, III shows in stock now as well. Guess it's time to get in touch with them...again.

Has everyone who did the deal on the deluxe Zeppelin reissues gotten all 3 yet? I still haven't gotten III.

Listened to it tonight. Sounds great to me. I probably don't have the ears for all of the nuances like some here, but it sounds just as good as the big 3 remasters do, IMO.

Sweet. Definitely Maybe was a nice set. WTSMG was always my favorite as well. Definitely grabbing this.

Just got to glance at my copy. Haven't gotten to listen to it yet, but it does look nice. Disappointed that more of the pictures weren't used though.

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case they hadn't seen.  Syd Barrett's two studio albums, The Madcap Laughs, and Barrett, and the compilation, Opel are all getting reissued by Parlophone.  They look to be listed at 25 bucks and can be found at the normal places.  They release next week.

And...how does it sound??

Same for me. We'll see what happens.

At this point do you still think Amused to Death is coming? I've had it preordered from Amazon for close to a year now.

Also...extremely jealous of you having On An Island. That and Amused to Death are the only two I don't have.
