Product Description

Description

The colossal legend of Led Zeppelin looms so mightily over the history of rock that it's sometimes easy to overlook thefact that Robert Plant has had a solo career that's outdistanced Zep in terms of longevity and output. NINE LIVES, a 10-disc box set, presents Plant's solo work in its entirety. Each of Plant's nine solo albums is included, and each is complemented by live tracks and a bonus DVD.
Listening to the whole of Plant's catalogue, what impresses most is its variety and range. Beginning with 1982's PICTURES AT ELEVEN andcontinuing through 2005's MIGHTY REARRANGER, NINE LIVES offers up atmospheric grooves, 1950's-style pop, synth-driven new wave, Middle Eastern drones, straight blues, and a healthy dose of post-Zeppelin thunder. Plant's voice morphs too, from dispassionate popster to banshee wailer to retro croonerand elsewhere, never letting the shadow of his former band determine his stylistic choices. Beautiful packaging and a comprehensive booklet sweeten the deal, making this a must for collectors or anyone looking to explore Plant's work in depth.

5.0 out of 5 stars A completists dream!, 19 Feb 2007

By	12stringbassist "Ian" (NorthWest, UK) - See all my reviews

This 9CD / 1 DVD set gathers all of Robert Plant's solo work post-Zep (excluding his joint albums with Jimmy Page) into one convenient and excellently priced package.

The albums are all remastered and given extended tracklistings and the packaging for the set is quite beautiful. The DVD gathers 20 full length promos for the first time - in chronological order. Watch those hair styles get bigger and smaller again!

The music is excellent, challenging and entertaining throughout, showing Plant's admirable desire to be creative and diverse and not content to just coast along livig on his reputation as 'the former singer of Led Zeppelin'. There are a number of big hits on here, as well as obscure b-sides from singles never released on CD before.

Even if you own a couple of Plant's albums, this is well worth buying at the price to own the complete collection. I'm glad that I invested in it.

Again, I would add the comment that the card sleeves for the CD's need a paper lining inserting by the buyer to protect the discs from scratching. A moment's work!

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely packaged collection., 9 Dec 2006

By	Mark Gouldthorpe "yetiwasp" (Surrey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This would have got five stars but for two things, firstly as mentioned in the previous review, an extra CD with all the missing tracks from other releases, B,sides etc would have been great. Secondly, like many of these collections the presentation box is fantastic, as is the booklet, unfortunately the CD's are slipped into hard card sleeves, this has the effect of "sanding" the playing surface in transit. My advice is as soon as you get it, remove the CDs and put them into a disk friendly sleeve if it's not too late.

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting artist to re-explore! , 29 Nov 2006

By	Sverre F�lstad "s-f" (Norway) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is 8 solo albums and the Honeydrippers EP, all covered with some bonus tracks; but make sure you also buy Sixty Six To Timbuktu, because none of it's pleasant extra material are found included on this package. I find that case a pity, because a 9 cd box would firstly appear to completists and with some creativity the necessary space might also be found. The fab title Nine Lives would of course be destroyed by including even further cd's to let that material pass in... Someone might also miss the two Jimmy Page and Robert Plant albums of the 90's: No Quarter and Walking Into Clarksdale.

The enclosed dvd shows 20 (= all?) of his music videoes, and draws a stylistic time-line that might be useful to know. Also on the dvd are one documentary, with a really interesting interview with Plant, along with other musicans comments.

Most positive with this box set is the possiblity to see Plant on his own, not only as the fab Led Zep singer who later made a few albums on his own. A lot of people do already have half or more of this stuff on various sources; but do remember the large work that has been done on the remastering. This box set should be listened to with interest and openness; which is what his post-Zep heritage deserves!

The bonus material consists of either live appereances, b-sides or out-takes from the albums. There are a few very fine live cuts, extended versions to please you: Thru with two step (recorded 1983) and Ship of fools (recorded 1988). Other live cuts are more fillers in order to include bonus material. The live sound is never comparable to the high quality of the album tracks, but he is a great live performer. The 1980's extended maxi version of "Little by little" give less satisfaction drawn outside of it's original 45 rpm vinyl, but are included in loss of other possible material. The included extra's from Manic Nirvana and Fate of Nations are great, but the re-mixes included with Dreamland and Mighty ReArranger could have been kept as rarities on the singles; none of them appear to give the original versions greater glory.

Anyway should this box set be bought for it's very fine treatment of the original albums, the sound gives hi-fi experiences on each album, but the 80's albums are the ones that grow the most on the sound treatment, the sound differencies of his albums from the later years are less.

This box set gives you 8 great albums in their best possible reproduction. In 2007 will these albums also be available as separate offers, that might be a solution for some of you. Remember to get hold of the Timbuktu for the ca. 20 extra songs not found on this box set.

The biggest surprice for me was the great Shaken'n'stirred album. You should find yours. Enjoy!
