Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Led Zeppelin's initial popularity was based as much on their concerts as their albums, so it's strange that the group's only official live album for many years is such an uninspired, boring affair. Released in conjunction with the pseudodocumentary film of the same name, The Song Remains the Same reproduces the very things that made Zeppelin concerts legendary — lengthy solos, intertwining interplay between Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, and ridiculously long songs ("Dazed and Confused" is nearly an entire half-hour) — but the group's performance is not intoxicating; it's long-winded. As scores of bootlegs prove, Led Zeppelin could produce magic with the same formula, but The Song Remains the Same is excruciatingly dull.

без етого альбома - не будет порядка в воздушных войсках

Дык, как это - спасибо!

Спасибо!

Pardon the old post bump, but this isn't really a remaster is it? I'm assuming it's the same Barry Diament mastering as the original CD release.

Is there a needledrop of the Classic Records release floating around?

I think that it's just re-issue...may be level boosted(?)

If you are looking for remaster: Topic Link: Led Zeppelin -2007. The Song Remains The Same. 2CD

I have the remaster... I was looking for a better version of the old mixes. The new remaster is brickwalled to the hilt as well.

the 2007 is the worst thing i've ever heard!!!
not only ultra brickwalled, remixed too (moby dick...)!!

I think that the 1997 (?) is the best.

Here's what I have:

Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same (1976) (Swan Song 201-2) {Barry Diament Mastering}
Led Zeppelin - The Song Remains The Same (1976) {Japanese Swan Song 24bit-96kHz vinyl}

but I can share it only in 2 weeks, cuz I'm going on vacation

Here's the same screenshot from Barry Diament CD (Track01 - Rock And Roll)

201-2?? where do you look for that numbers??

i have the swang song too: 7567-90303-2 (france ca 881)

on the back: lc 3445

on the cds: lc 0121

warner made in germany

barry diament CD mastering at Atlantic Studios

а что японцы типа 32P2-2741-2 уже не канают?

По идее это одно и то же все издания должны быть одинаковыми до 2007го года, когда вышел ремастер.

You got it.
i don't think that 1993 atlantic be remaster, as i say.
...and mine's isn't Atlantic..., is Wea..
