I do and it's well worth it. III is my favorite LZ album by far, and if of the deluxe reissues, it's the first with extras that aren't just live cuts but are studio extras -- alternate takes or demos or early versionss -- and thus (to my mind) more interesting than just another live version of some other cuts.
Led Zeppelin I was the only one that included live cuts of the first 6. The rest included rough mixes w/ or w/o vocals, alternate mixes and backing tracks. Then Coda included B-sides like Hey Hey, What Can I Do. Unsure about the other 2 albums.
 
Does anyone here have LZ III deluxe with the second LP of alt & outtakes? Seems like $24 is a good price on that one.

I'll second the love for the Zep III reissue, and I do indeed spin the companion disc quite a bit

I love the Coda reissue, it might be my favorite so far. That's another one that the extra discs definitely get spun.
 
I have the super deluxe of the first 6 albums. I'd say they're as close to the definitive version as we're going to get, until Jimmy croaks and someone else can give it the proper treatment. The only issue is on Houses of the Holy, The Ocean has some nasty distortion which is common apparently.
The House Of The Holy “Ocean” distortion was fixed with a repress but you can’t tell the difference without unsealing and checking the runout. The pressing with “B3” on the side B runout has the distortion corrected.

You know, sometimes I think this hobby is just so fucking stupid. The shit we have to go through. For what?


Friend: Why do you listen to vinyl records?

Me: I like that this music medium brings additional stress and challenges to my already anxiety-filled life.
 
If I was a standup comic I’d steal this and develop it into a real nice joke. Maybe even sell it to Adam Sandler for Happy Gilmore 2

I never watched Glee, but I saw one of the actors on a late-night talk show once, where he let it slip that they had some group or project or something on the show being referred to as "New Directions," but the creators secretly named it that for that reasons. I think it was Glee, anyway.

All that I know is that I've heard it this way ever since. Black Lips have a song where they say they're "looking in a new direction" and my wife has an ingredient supplier for her skincare products named "New Directions," which means that we have "packages" with that label showing up regularly.
