Definitive Audiophile pressings

Anybody have (affordable) Led Zeppelin recommendations? Classic Records and MoFis are eliminated for price. Are the newish reissues any good?
They’re fine I guess. Robert Plant’s mix isn’t very impressive on the 2014 pressings I have. He sounds like an after thought almost. I’m not crazy about them; but it’s been a while since I’ve listened. I’ll give em another check tmm
 
I’d keep your eyes peeled on eBay. I looked for over a year and I think I ended up getting a copy with NM vinyl and a little damage to the box for around $100 shipped.
Yup I got an advertised NM copy a couple years eBay last year for ~$125 or something. It came banged up (not horribly but def below grading). The seller was so apologetic that they refund me a huge portion. Seriously, I got it for around $65. I don't think the person knew what they had. Mine was a very particular situation but keep in mind that the original price wasn't bad. If I remember correctly it was an auction.
 
The XL Europe will likely be passable. avoid the XL US and any Capitol ones.

Parlophone pressings are going to be the best but you don’t necessarily need to be getting an OG. I have this one and it’s brill


I have this one - and have no issues with it.


Luckily with this title, most reissue are represses of the original UK Parlophone release...so it just depends on the pressing quality.
