Description
Led Zeppelin's seminal box set, The Complete BBC Sessions five (5) albums produced/remastered/supervised by Jimmy Page on 180 gram audiophile vinyl. Albums #1-3 were played through one time each (in 12/2016 through an AT95E cartridge ). Albums #4-5 are not played/never taken out of the box. This is a really nice box set, as the inner album sleeves have a plastic coating on them and the cardboard packaging/album covers, printing and images are top notch quality as well. All inserts/booklets--even the outer box hype sticker--are included as well. There is minor cosmetic damage (a dent) to the back box corner and a scratch-out over the hologram/ISBN barcode--see attached photos. Domestic buyer (lower 48 states only) pays by PayPal within 36 hours of auction's conclusion. Winner pays $8.54 S/H via USPS First Class Mail (box weighs-in at around 5 pounds--w/ tracking provided). I will pack very carefully with a purpose-built, jumbo-sized album mailer and I will also likely ship within 36 hours of payment.
"Album Notes
Back in 1997, Led Zeppelin released BBC Sessions, the band's first attempt to chronicle its heavily bootlegged live recordings for the British Broadcasting Corporation. That double-disc set didn't contain all of Zep's BBC Sessions: a full nine songs from 1969 were left behind, including three songs recorded in March -- a session highlighted by the otherwise unavailable original "Sunshine Woman" -- that were believed to be lost. The 2016 triple-disc set The Complete BBC Sessions adds those songs as a third disc to a remastered version of the original 1997 compilation, an addition that doesn't greatly alter the overall picture of Zeppelin's BBC Sessions but offers a whole lot of additional value. Without those sessions, the compilation remains a stellar showcase of Led Zeppelin in ascendancy but with them the portrait deepens, particularly in how "Communication Breakdown" winds up being a place for the bandmembers to stretch their legs, incorporating covers or even interpolations of their own songs; it's a place where their intensity is married to their thirst for adventure. Elsewhere, there are plenty of extended blues jams -- "I Can't Quit You Baby" and "You Shook Me" from the lost March 1969 session are condensed and sound all the more powerful for it; similarly, the woozy rearrangement of Robert Johnson's "Travelling Riverside Blues" resonates because it's concise -- but the music that hits hardest remains the live-wire rockabilly ("Somethin' Else") and revved-up blues-boogie, the latter coming to the forefront on the otherwise unavailable "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair" and that unearthed "Sunshine Woman," a throwaway raver that shows just how loose, muscular, and invigorating Zeppelin were at the outset. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
