j67ab Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I read that article this morning and took a listen to Taurus. Similar but not the same. Relevant part starts about 40 seconds in Cool tune, though. This is BS, there are wisps of the same mood but it is not the same. I hope they lose the lawsuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Huge thanks for calling out the steal on these from B&N... saved over 40 bucks from my original amazon pre-order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monklover Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 got a shipping notification yesterday (amazon . de) for Zep III (as of now this and Houses of the Holy are the only ones I am planning on getting). Hoping it will arrive today instead of Friday (tomorrow which would be when it's expected is a German holiday)... it's unlikely, but would be pretty awesome if it shows up today... can't wait to hear if this lives up to (my) expectations... also really excited to be replacing the g+ originals I have from parents old collection.

monklover Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 just gave the first run through since it (III) came this afternoon. I really had to pull the highs down on the e.q., but other than that it sounds pretty good upon a first listen. Nothing mind blowing... maybe a little more detail in how the first songs are threaded together. I might have a different opinion upon another play-through tomorrow when I can more objectively (and not excitedly) listen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been worried that Page was going to "over-tinker" with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 apparently there's some production delays with the deluxe sets and a lot of retailers might not get their stock till later next week or early the following week. amazon hasn't updated my status yet (still says delivery on June 3), but on the product page it says they won't make the release date.

oojavaguru Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 These are up on Popmarket today as the daily deals. Deluxe sets are $109.99 LPs are $32.99 or $42.99. Not as good as the B&N deal, but cheaper than Amazon (at least in the US, since Popmarket does free shipping). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as good as the B&N deal, but cheaper than Amazon (at least in the US, since Popmarket does free shipping). Just got that email. Shipping to Canada would make this deluxe set tip the $200. Or else this would be pretty good deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowBearToe Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 2 coworkers of mine bought all 3 of these during the buy 2 get the 3rd free deal. Both have their orders marked as shipped but when they click on the details it says only I and II shipped. Anyone else seeing this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

l0new0lf7 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I PO'd mine from amazon pretty much the day these things were announced. Got an e-mail this morning saying the manufacturer experienced delays and they don't know when they will ship out. Tried a few times to get some kind of info from amazon support but all i got in return was 5 dollars added to my account and free next day air shipping. Guess amazon maybe had so many preorders they couldn't receive them all. SucksEDIT: Im in FLA, USA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackholexxxx Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I had two orders in. One for the boxes and one for the deluxe editions. I cancelled those orders a week or two ago, but received tow $5 credits for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobMckinley Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I'm bummed so many of you guys are getting hit with these delays. I ended up picking up the single vinyl edition of "III" and i have to say that it's everything i was hoping it would be. This mix should be the new standard.

Barberbro Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I called a few of my local record shops to see if they had gotten them in. Nobody had them. I had a pre-order with amazon from the first day too. I received an email from amazon last night informing me of the new shopping date as June 27th.

QUA1L Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I pre-ordered all three Deluxe Versions back in early May. Still no shipping on any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchflowers Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I got the delay emails from B&N for all 3 Zep deluxes. No timeframe given for delivery. I'm not so worried about waiting as I am about losing the buy 2 free 1 promo because they can't fulfill the order within 30 days. Edit: my order now says expected ship June 24th, which I'm sure is just some random date. That would be 30 days.. Which is their stated order cancelation date. D'oh!

StompingTurdle Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I actually pre-ordered the all 3 Deluxe Editions through amazon in march when they were announced. So far I've recieved 2 $5 compensation certificates this week along with the delay notifications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyrich Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 There was a slight delay on the deluxe vinyl and super deluxe boxes of I & II, although our store got these on Tuesday (in reduced quantities). All the vinyl copies of III really got delayed everywhere... Some sort of issue with the wheel. We did get regular vinyl and super deluxe in on Tuesday, no sign of deluxe (2XLP) vinyl yet. My PO from Best Buy for I & II arrived Tuesday, III should arrive Thur or Fri. FYI these reissues are unreal. Fantastic sound, flawless vinyl, begging to be played really loud. I can't remember a reissue sounding this good since.... Maybe the Rhino presses of early Van Morrison & Tom Waits? But totally different beasts altogether. My so-so first press of II is gone. Sold. My original spinning wheel press of III is gonna follow it soon. I honestly might just sell my OPs of IV and Houses while I'm at it, as I'm almost positive the second batch of reissues in October will destroy those too. aflycon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
