TOP FINAL COLLECTION COPY

MONO SONG MIXES = PROMOTIONAL COPY = FACTORY SEALED

Didn't know what to  think when crossed paths with this oddity ... STILL FACTORY SEALED, never played, obvious limited pressing ... which posed a little dilemma in that being sealed it would de-valuate the item to open and see if the item is indeed with WHITE PROMO labels  which it might very well be (??) nevertheless, while chances are that it probably is, of course can't guarantee, as it is STILL FACTORY SEALED ... investment collectible when left in SEALED condition... 

MONO SONG MIXES and BIG BOLD PUNCH differs from the stereo version and pressed only for radio stations in this format!

Starting with the powerhouse rocker The song Remains the Same you already know you're in for a wonderful musical ride. The real highlights of the album are obvious, especially for a hardrocker's musical tastes. The Rain Song, played in an unusual guitar tuning, is a slow-paced symphonic song that may be better than the over exposed albeit famous Stairway to Heaven. You have mellotron in this piece instead of a symphony, and many prefer the mellotrons. The song gets heavier in the later parts of it, without sacrificing the melodic beauty of the first half. No Quarter is another slow-paced song, but this one sounds dark and creepy. It has organs, piano, and synthesizers playing softly in the background during the verses until an awe-inducing guitar riff breaks the silences on the choruses. The instrumental break in the middle puts John Paul Jones in the spotlight, playing a long solo that focuses on melody and emotion, rather than virtuosity. Jimmy Page hurls a guitar solo in the mix that sounds un-Page like... and fantastic.

Other good songs are Over the Hills and Faraway which begins with fast acoustic guitar riffs then turns into a nice rocker and The Ocean which is an accessible cool rocker. The Crunge is an entertaining bump and grind tune with a great bass line and a groovy ending. Dancing Days while it contains an awful guitar riff in the beginning, then manages to be a pretty good rock like only Zeppelin could always pull off....
