CMI Comments: This is my remastered version of this great recording and is made using definitive raw version of this source from Empress Velley "Live At Southampton - Working Tapes" release.
For all who might doesn't know, first leaked R-O version is basically the EV version with some glitches already edited out and with some digital errors (bad CDR copy) on it in addition. "Dancing Days" track is an example.
I fixed all glitches and crackles. Also all three gaps in recording were fixed. No EQ and no Noise Reduction were aplied. Modern standart dynamic compression was applied, so now it sounds as loud and powerful as HTWWW.
All tracks are re-indexed.
BTW, Winston Remaster of this show is great but it sounds so different to the original. Also his mistake is the usage of Presence's source.

Lineage: EVSD Silver CD->FLAC->WAV->Remaster->FLAC
Originally Remastered by CMI Music in August 2008
Corrected -0.03msec phase shift
Cross-mixed all tracks (ratio 96:4)
Noise print NR at very low setting, to take edge off hiss & fix slight buzz without affecting SQ
Very slight EQ, +2dB treble
Slight expansion (from 0dB @ 0dB to -2dB @ -20dB) undoing over-compression (Audition 3)
Minor clip reduction in a few places (Audition 3)
Fixed hundreds of volume and balance fluctuations
Fixed lots more glitches, clicks, mic bumps, feedback squeels and drop-outs
Combined tracks for editing, cut a few short periods of complte silence and Re-tracked to avoid SBEs
Flac > Nero > TLH > you
Quality: Ex performance, A+ SQ (would be more except for a little hiss remaining)
OU Notes: I've downloaded many, many Led Zep recordings and have been surprised at just how few are decent sound quality, either because of strange soundboard mixes (where Page is often near inaudible) or mostly high generation copies.
Well at last, IMHO this is the best recording I've found, with the exception of course of the great BBC Live Official 2CD set. The only ones that come close have been the thir13en remasters of Vancouver 1975 and Frankfurt 1980, with highly rated others like St Louis 1975 some way behind those. I'm not a completist, so I would welcome enthusiasts posting with similar or better SQ. There is also a thir13en
remaster of this same concert, but that sounds a little thin compared to this version.
My original source was remastered by CMI, with whom I'm not familiar to me but did a great job, except for over-enthusiastic compression that pumped up levels and made it difficult to separate instruments.
I was able to undo some of this, along with other significant editing (above).
Now it sounds truly great. Performance is top notch with a great set list including several golden oldies and for once you can hear Jimmy Page's guitar in all its true glory, making this for me the best Led Zeppelin recording ever...
...Enjoy !!

http://lix.in/-6a8d1fOne is closer to the original in terms of lineage; the second is a finer tweek. Your call - pass, one or both!If you need just a few songs (because you attempted this download earlier) just request the individual tracks and the host that you use (mega or rs) and I will take care of you.
