This is the ultimate and brand new (2014) reissue of Led Zeppelin’s classic “Houses Of The Holy” album. The package will be sent “factory packed” - still in its shrink wrapper, unopened and in the original foam-padded outer cardboard box - 100% factory new.

The Super Deluxe Edition box set contains the original (single) album, remastered on CD and 180g vinyl LP, plus companion audio tracks issued on a second CD and the same previously-unreleased tracks on another 180g LP.

The album sleeves faithfully duplicate the original vinyl first pressing issue, and the previously unreleased companion tracks on the bonus CD & LP contain previously unheard studio recordings.

Added into this impressive package are the following: a fabulous hardbound 12” x 12” full colour 80-page book with rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia, a high-quality print of the original album’s cover and an MP3 audio download card allowing full access to all the music in a top quality Hi-Definition digital audio. (Studio tracks are 24-bit/96k).

It’s a limited-edition collector’s item and a fantastic gift for any Zep fan or lover of classic rock music. Available as a great Christmas gift for that Zep nut in your family or friendship circle - or as your own treat from Santa! 

Jimmy Page has remastered the music from the original master tapes, and the two 180g vinyl albums were pressed at Pallas (Europe’s finest record pressing plant); the album is thus said to sound better than any earlier Zeppelin releases of “HOTH”.

When played on a reference hi-fi system, the power and impact of these recordings  - on vinyl or CD - are truly stunning! Page’s extensive remastering sessions had a single mission - to produce ultimate, definitive editions of his band's world-famous catalogue.

The extra (unreleased) music in this ultimate HOTH set includes different mixes of seven tracks, rough and working mixes for "The Ocean" and "Dancing Days" providing insight into how the album developed through the sessions. The guitar-mix backing track for "Over The Hills And Far Away" and a version of "The Rain Song" without piano are also heard here for the first time since the original sessions. 

The original 1973 album has been certified diamond by the RIAA for sales of over 11 million copies.
