Have a couple of their albums on vinyl, can anyone recommend the best sounding 'Best of...' or 'Greatest Hits' Zep album on CD?

You have to listen to the 'Badgeholder' bootlegs from the 1977 tour. All 6 nights are brilliant, but the 'For Badgeholders Only' show with Keith Moon is probably Zep's greatest ever gig.

While in Kingston this afternoon, I nipped into HMV and purchased Led Zepp II, remastered version. Wow, what a album.

Slippery slope PP. I started with Queen & Led Zepp in the mid '80s........ Next thing you'll be trawling the Metal section for the latest Cattle Decapitation CD. rolling on the floor laughing

Mothership is the best sounding compilation, but seeing as you've started buying the albums, just get all of them!
Mothership was £6 last year in HMV, I saw that it was £10 last week.
