    I got an EU Houses of the Holy as well. Returned the US pressing. I wonder if it’s worth looking into the EU pressing of IV.
    I think IV allegedly had first run problems too.  Mine is a US Canada deluxe version that my local was selling for 15 bucks, so couldn’t pass it up.  I don’t recall being disappointed in it.  Maybe you got a bad press?

    Did you have problems with the US IV? My US Pallas pressing is excellent for a digital pressing. I'm still looking to complete the Classic Record Zep pressings.

    sounds fantastic for a beat old record. Bright and deep. Glad I picked it up. 25 cents.

    Some Saturday Spinning. The re-release was spread out on two records... I think... so this must be my original release. I do find that the coverdesign works better on the CD-version — The ”fake book” look comes off as more fake on the vinyl. I remember the cover being on a thicker paper stock on CD? The booklet also looks to have been designed for the CD version first in mind. Fun fact: The extra cost of this cover design was taken straight from the band, with the label refusing to pay for it. Less fun fact: This was Dave Abbruzzese’s last album with the band.

    OG definitely better than the 2x reissue.

    Kevin Gray,  Cohearent audio version.  I do wish they would have used Pallas or QRP to press. This is an excellent version but the press has a tad of non fill or something.  It's definitely the weak spot of the chain 

    Edit,  there is an ultra disc one step box coming soon,  but retail is like 130.

    It just sounds fuller,  more urgent.  The repress feels veiled.  You have both,  right? You don't think?

    I've read that the One Step, is by far the best version. I guess it all depends on how much ($$$) you like the record.

    I don't think I would hear a difference. I would though feel the extra hassle of two discs.

    Some Sunday Spinning. Even back in the 70s I knew this was overrated.
