    Seven Songs for the Week #49

    Jason Carty

    A few weeks ago I wanted to listen to Led Zeppelin 4, but I don't own LZ4, and so this week I picked it up along with the debut. LZ must be the band whose catalogue I've put together over the longest time. At school in 1989 someone sold me a copy of LZ2 on CD that they had won or something, so I bought it for £5 as I recall. It didn't do much for me. When the double CD Remasters came out the following year, I bought that and for years that was all the Led Zeppelin I needed. Reading about LZ at the time of their 2007 reunion, I picked up Presence, because I liked the scandi-bleakness vibe. When HMV shut down in Dublin in 2016, was it, I picked up very cheap vinyl reissue versions of LZ3 and Physical Graffiti (the 2LP and 3LP versions). I've become very fond of LZ3. It's good! They were €10 or something each. Last year I found a cheap second hand Houses Of The Holy CD, because original 80s masters are where it's at. Those keeping score will realise that 35 years in and I still have Coda and In Thorough the Out Door left - I've listened to the latter a bit on streaming, I like it's pop vibe. And so to Led Zeppelin 1 - Track 1 - Good Times Bad Times. I like concise pop, not extended blues, so this is the Zep I like.
