It's bootleg week here at Toter Allee! These are all great sounding boots at high bit-rates.

Led Zeppelin IV - Mickboy Remaster

Mickboy is mostly known for reworking Rolling Stones albums, but he has done at least one Led Zep - this one. Clearly he doesn't have access to the master tapes, so it's not really a remaster. I understand that he purchases the highest quality Japanese vinyl, takes it into a studio, and he does whatever it is that he does. Whether this reworking sounds 'better' or not is a matter of opinion, but there's no denying that it definitely sounds different. To my ears, it sounds fantastic, most noticeably on a song I thought I was sick of, "Stairway To Heaven".

Free - Talking Of Heartbreaker (1972)

OK this is an unusual Free bootleg, and I wasn't at all sure that I would even like it, but it is great!! The problem, so I thought, was that though he is pictured in the artwork, Paul Kossof was 'sick' for this part of the tour, and was replaced by some guy named Wendell Richardson who does a hell of a job. The music is just great, the band is really on top of it. Maybe being relieved of the burden of worrying about Kossoff collapsing or falling off the stage or something was a good thing! I mean, talented as he was, working with Koss towards the end must have been a major pain in the ass.
