Ann can still sing and she looks great at her age.

She's amazing...she's one of the few artists that can sing Led Zep songs....her version of Stairway To Heaven is awesome

If John Bonham we’re still alive, I could imagine Robert Plant leaving the group at some point to pursue a solo career and Ann joining full-time as vocalist. Now, that would’ve been awesome!

So, I see Acoustic Sounds says Bold As Love is in stock.........how come my order from Music Direct still says backordered? Ugh..........

UGH is right. And where's Simon & Garfunkel's Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Tyme ..... ALL were pre~ordered from Music Direct when they offered their 20% discount ..... many [many] moons ago!

Wow! What a bunch of asses.

Wow! What a bunch of asses.

Yep.....maybe MoFi and Analogue Productions should 'rip' a page out of the Dutton Vocalion playbook.......both US reissue companies take months and years to get their SACD product to market!

 

[Perp]

Yeah, these people have to make asses out of themselves and they look bad. I wonder if they’re in trouble?

No, they're essentially both into VINYL reissues ...... SACD is the 'bastard' child. But they are releasing fewer and fewer SACDs......so thank the lordy for Dutton Vocalion!

GONE, BUT HARDLY FORGOTTEN. IMO, Blackstar NEEDS a proper 5.1 remix. LOVE that album!

Spectacular sounding!!!

Another that screams for some surround release. This vinyl rip sounds great.

Oh! I was talking about your photo, not Music Direct. Now I’m wondering if Music Direct is in trouble too?

Oh, sorry. I wouldn't worry too much about either AP or MoFi. Respectively, they have the backing of Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct which sell tons of Vinyl reissues and pricey Stereo equipment. Say what you want about Music Direct but they've never shafted me. I've spent literally thousands of dollars buying equipment from them and always value their expertise and one can also make better deals 'over the phone talking to a rep' than ordering on line. A sage piece of advice to perspective equipment shoppers.
