Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the few truly bigger-than-life rock bands, Led Zeppelin continues to cast a giant shadow over contemporary rock two decades after the group's break-up. The slickly packaged set offers a solid introduction to the band's work, with two discs of remastered, sonically upgraded album tracks, plus a third disc of interviews with surviving band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones. Hearing all these Zep classics--"Stairway to Heaven", "Whole Lotta Love", "Dazed and Confused", "Rock and Roll", "Kashmir", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog" "Good Times Bad Times", "Heartbreaker", "Houses of the Holy" and "The Song Remains the Same"--assembled in one package is an impressive testament to the group's pervasive influence. --Scott Schinder

This is a supreme greatest hits collection it has to be said, featuring all the famous Zeppelin songs such as "Stairway to Heaven" and "Whole lotta love" but I really do suggest buying all the other albums as they are very cheap these days. By buyingthis, you miss out so many classics songs which couldn't fit on this album such as "When the levee breaks", "Bring it on home" and "Moby dick" are just few examples of what people miss out on by purchasing this album, the latter which proves Bonham was the and still is the greatest rock drummer of all time. You lose the greta feel of all the albums with this so i suggest you buy the DVD and all the albums and discover in the best way possible why Zeppelin were the best band of all time and not many bands have come even close

If you want a piece of magic and were too young for this amazing group first time round this serves as an excellent introduction to their music.
You can see why they´ve influenced so many bands.
It´s riffs galore from the ranging,"Dazed and confused," to the crunching," A whole lotta love." I love the real bluesy stuff an example being the solo on,"Since I´ve been loving you."
The first CD ends with the signature tune,"Stairway to heaven."
They really are blues music´s present to Rock and Roll, I love the long intricate solos on,"Nobody´s fault but mine," and ,"Achilles last stand." Then you have the wonderful creativity of,"No quarter," and throttling riff of,"Kashmir."
This has basically got the lot, the remastered version gives these songs yet more life and zip.
A record that will have music fans quite literally frothing at the mouth. Essential

After the release of this stunning compilation, Jimmy Page must have had mixed feelings... on the one hand, he had personally remastered, and done justice to, all of Zeppelin's greatest tracks, and assembled them into a truly breathtaking line-up.. on the other hand, he had single-handedly made it far too easy for any Zeppelin newby (like myself at the time) to lay their hands on just about every essential Zeppelin track without having to fork out for 5 or 6 albums, hence doing themselves out of a fortune in record sales.
As such, this double album is a steal, as well as being THE definitive collection of Zeppelin classics. Sure, it may be a short cut to an 'instant' Zeppelin collection, but it is not entirely comprehensive, so there is plenty left on other albums to explore. That said, I have never come across a more generously loaded compilation from any other artists, and therefore this album definitely deserves to be described as 'essential'.
I hesistate to say anything about the actual tracks themselves, as just about every one can pretty much speak for itself. What I would say, however, is that anyone who may not have any Zeppelin in their collections would be well advised to buy this particular collection, and that anyone who is looking to simply find out what this group was all about, could do with starting right here.
