DESCRIPTION:The Very Best Of Led Zeppelin Limited Edition 4-LP Deluxe Box Set, remastering supervised by Jimmy Page. Half Speed Mastered for vinyl by Stan Ricker on 4 180 gram LPs. 24-page booklet

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Weighing in at 4 LPs and 24 tracks, Mothership has a sense of scale that the previous round of compilations -- the two-part Early Days & Latter Days, delivered in 1999 and 2000 respectively -- lacked, not just because it pushes these two phases together but because it is heavy on the heavy epics, emphasizing Zeppelin's sheer sonic ballast over either their lighter or more idiosyncratic moments. This effects the second half more than the first, as the band started out heavy and expanded outward, and while it would have been nice if "Fool in the Rain" represented In Through the Out Door instead of "In the Evening," this is a minor quibble as Mothership hits the obvious high points without seeming perfunctory. And that, along with Page's new remastering, is the real selling point behind Mothership: as a compilation it is both gripping listening and a good introduction to this very album-oriented band, which is what makes it a welcome addition to their catalog.
