Re: Dr. Ebbetts

Your opinion is noted...
I happen to see it in a different light though. I did pay for the CD version but mine is gone now. No idea where it went. I run a tight ship when it comes to my music. All my studio discs are in alphabetical and chronological order for the most part. I don't loan out discs as they never seem to make it back into my collection. I assume someone decided to take my copy. Why should I shell out more of my hard earned bucks to replace it? Plus from what I have been reading all the new releases do not sound as good as the originals. So here is a way to get a copy back I already paid for 3 times at least, and will sound better to boot. If Led Zeppelin would re-release all their studio albums in some form that beats anything that is and was available before..... I would buy them. But until that happens I am quite satisfied with these Dr. Ebbetts releases of the first four albums. I did a side by side comparison of I and II and III and they are definitely better sounding than the ones I paid for. Quality matters to me more than loyalty. And I feel no guilt whatsoever. LOL I did my share to help make Led Zeppelin to be able to sit in comfort and not have to worry about how they are going to pay their mortgage from month to month. (unlike myself) I do hold your values for the most part though. I don't download albums I don't already own as a rule. I feel the band worked hard to make it and I should support them if I want that album. But then MP3's sorta ruined all that years ago IMO. I know of almost NO ONE who feels this way I meet in my travels. Everyone DL's music they want and almost never buys the CD.

Hi Dan!

I must respectfully disagree with your position.  I, too, am bothered
sometimes about the amount of money I pay for repackaged items from the
band.  I cannot count the number of different commercial releases of
Communition Breakdown in my collection.

However these guys made this art, which value is truly beyond monetary
measure.  They put their hearts, blood, souls, and entire being into
these wonderful things, and I believe they have every right to be
compensated for their contribution.  If we chose not to pay, our choice
should not be to download, it should be to refrain from listening at all
or to listen to the other versions we own.

Just my humble opinion.  A great and happy Friday to all of FBO!

I just bought a used JVC 200 Disc CD Player the other day. This thing

pretty cool. You can put in 200 CD's and enter the name of each CD so



it's easy to find what you want to listen to. It's like having a

jukebox

sorta.
Anyway the first CD's I decided to put in the thing were all the LZ
albums. I got to IV and discovered my copy is gone! All my LZ CD's

were

bought back when they first were issued in the 80's. I'm not sure if
that's a good thing or bad thing but that's what they are/were. So I
decided to go to Demonoid and grab me a replacement of IV. I know

someone

posted here about the Dr. Ebbetts release of I and II and now there

are

III and IV there as well.
Fast DL too! I just started both of them before I started typing this

and

IV is done already and III is 80%. :)
