Editorial Reviews:

'Mothership' is a collection of songs by one of the greatest and most influential hard rock bands of all time. Led Zeppelin's sound is hard to label within one particular genre; Jimmy Page's enigmatic guitar-playing style varies from psychedelic blues to machine-gun heavy metal; John Paul Jones andJohn Bonham provide the multi-layered rhythmic backbone; while Robert Plant's distinctive, powerful vocals bring an element of soul to the group. The band's eight studio albums are all represented here, with 'Whole Lotta Love', 'Stairway To Heaven' and 'Kashmir' examples of stand out tracks, thoughit's difficult to find one that isn't.

Summary: Good for starters.
Comment: A good album if youre a casual Led Zep fan and are just getting in to them but if you want to hear the great Led Zeppelin you'll have to buy all 3 definitive Led zep cd's.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great CD
Comment: I spent my youth in the 70's listening to Abba and Boney M. Now, in my 40's, I buy this excellent CD and realise what I missed. For others like me I recommend this album, 'Hammer of the Gods' by Stephen Davis (which tells their unbelievable story entertainingly), and videos from their gigs in the 70's from youtube.

Summary: Splendid! ..And they really do sound GREAT!!!
Comment: I can't add any more to what's already been said in earlier reviews, but I doubt that just these tracks alone have been "re-remastered". Surely the re mastering engineer will have worked on the entire catalogue, wouldn't he?
It's my hope that one day soon, these definitive 2007 re-remasterings will find their way into the traditional CD/download of the complete albums.
Wonderful TIMELESS music that hasn't really dated at all. This band could play, and play many different styles often in one album, giving real pleasure to the listener - and something to return to over thirty years plus.
Enough of this. if you still doubt that CD can "do it," then buy this and see what can be done to these old recordings.
(An LP issue of this for £70? Do leave off.....;) )
RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!!

Summary: The same old song
Comment: If you already have Led Zeppelin CD's, especially "Remasters", then this probably is not for you as you will probably have much or all of it already.
If you have none, then this is probably the best buy for you. Two CD's of the best tracks AND a DVD. What a bargain!
I guess a Bargain or Rip-Off depends on your current collection.

Summary: DVD wrong region
Comment: Beware when buying this. My first copy of this was returned due to the DVD being region 1 NTSC format, it's replacement was also region 1 NTSC. Unfortuntely my TV does not support NTSC, it has now been returned for a refund.
