Definitely a review of the 1990 box. And one of the *few* things I agree on in the article is that the Zep box sets, especially the "Complete" one pictured, have been corporate opportunism more than creative re-assessment.

I didn't mind the initial 1990 box set, as it was the first "official" Zeppelin release since Coda and it was a great primer for the next generation and a gift for their longtime fans in the bonus tracks and restructuring. However, the best that's come out post-breakup would have to be the BBC sessions, 'How the West Was Won,' and the DVD set. Otherwise, I completely agree.
Thanks. I looked back to see if there was a disclaimer with a date but didn't see one and I thought that Page had gone back to the well AGAIN!
Yes, I was excited about the 1st box - just to get тАЬHey HeyтАЭ and тАЬRiverside BluesтАЭ on CD was worth the price of admission in my mind. And I also dug the re-sequencing at the time, but havenтАЩt played it in years. Time to re-assess!
