Title:
Led Zeppelin II (Super Deluxe Edition Box Set)
Description:
Along with the group’s self-titled debut album and their third album, Led Zeppelin III, the album was remastered and reissued on 2 June 2014. The reissue comes in six formats: a standard CD edition, a deluxe two-CD edition, a standard LP version, a deluxe two-LP version, a super deluxe two-CD plus two-LP version with a hardback book, and as high-resolution, 24-bit/96k digital downloads. The deluxe and super deluxe editions feature bonus material containing alternative takes, backing tracks and the previously unreleased instrumental, "La La”.The reissue was released with an altered colour version of the original album’s artwork as its bonus disc’s cover.
The reissue was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 95, based on 10 reviews. Pitchfork journalist Mark Richardson said, "the reissue sounds as thrilling as ever",while Julian Marszalek of The Quietus noted the bonus disc’s "intriguing insight” into the original record’s creation. In Rolling Stone, David Fricke wrote, "the alternate takes highlight Robert Plant’s ripening vocal poise and, in a rough mix of ’Ramble On’, the decisive, melodic force of John Paul Jones’ bass and John Bonham’s drumming." "As a two-disc set", Consequence of Sound’s Michael Madden wrote, "this reissue is both a reminder of the original album’s wallop and a closer look at the alchemy of a band increasingly attuned to ideas of progression."Raoul Hernandez from The Austin Chronicle was more critical of the bonus disc, finding it to be "the thinest of extras” offered by the reissue program.
