I will need to PM the member here who has the two records. They were rare and expensive in 2010 so I can only guess what they would go for now if you found one. I think they were $150.00 then? The other disks were the two diskPhysical Graffiti, so it was more money. From what I understand the Japan mini-album CD box set is still using the same files as the 1994 US box CD release. I listened to the Japan box set and could not hear any difference between the two. I really think we will be in for a grand surprise this year with the Zepp remasters. They will maybe be in Blue-Ray audio like Celebration Day. I would guess there will be a pricey box set like the Beatles box in vinyl as well as sold as single records.They will most-likely be 180 gram and expensive but great. From my experience I never thought my 1994 box set was ever that great, so this new generation is a long time coming.
The best stuff we have for Zepp really are the studio albums. They were one of the most live bootlegged bands of the 1970s too. A friend of mine used to be the editor of Proximity, the Zepp news letter, he has 100s of bootlegs and I head a bunch. I recently heard a 24/96 copy of Destroyer (a famous bootleg live recording) and still nothing is the great quality. Zepp fans were and maybe are still like Dead-Heads and love the live recordings in what ever quality they can get them in.
It will be exciting to if they get improvements in 16bit/44.1 Hz like the CD of The Song Remains The Same. That was a grand gift a couple of years back and just shows what Jimmy Page is capable of giving us with today's technology. The 4 disk 180 gram box set of The Song Remains The Same is one of the best sounding live recordings I have ever heard, which is saying a lot considering when it was recorded. So maybe these new Zepp releases will even improve on the Houses of the Holy remaster I was able to hear. At the time of release it will be a contest to play em back to back just to see is Jimmy Page's actions of stopping the recent remaster process was a good decision and ended being best for the music and not just financial gains.
