Led Zeppelin – Jimmy Page habla sobre la remasterización de todos los discos del grupo.

Una nueva remasterización de todos los discos de Led Zeppelin, tal como se comentaba en una información anterior, parece que es uno de los proyectos que tiene en mente abordar próximamente el bueno de Pagey, y lo que en principio tenía carácter de especulación, ahora, tras leer la entrevista que le ha realizado Rolling Stone, parece que empieza a tomar forma.

A continuación unos pequeños fragmentos de la entrevista en la que Page hace referencia a algunas de las posibles novedades que a lo largo del próximo año verán la luz:

«It will be coming out, bit by bit,» Jimmy Page says with a tantalizing lilt in his voice. The Led Zeppelin guitarist is referring to his current labors in the band’s archive, preparing new deluxe editions of each of Zeppelin’s studio albums, from 1969’s Led Zeppelin to 1979’s In Through the Out Door, plus the 1982 post-breakup collection, Coda. Page says the reissues will include «added sonic and visual thrills,» and he expects to begin issuing the first albums in the series sometime next year.

«The catalog was last remastered 20 years ago,» Page said, referring to the 1990 release of the four-CD box set, Led Zeppelin. «That’s a long time. Everything is being transferred from analog to a higher-resolution digital format. That’s one of the problems with the Zeppelin stuff. It sounds ridiculous on MP3. You can’t hear what’s there properly.»

«The classic there was ‘When the Levee Breaks,'» Page said, «where the drums were set up in the hallway. You know what it sounded like – immense – from the recorded version. But we used the drums in the hall for a number of things, like ‘Kashmir’ [on 1975’s «Physical Graffiti»] – some with closer miking. So there were a lot of different approaches. It will be fascinating for people to witness the work in progress.»
