Great price in the USA today for the blu-ray audio edition of the forthcoming reissue of Led Zeppelin‘s live album How The West Was Won.
This set features newly remastered audio (supervised by Jimmy Page) and includes 96kHz/24 bit 5.1 (DTS-HD Master Audio Surround) and stereo mixes (PCM Stereo and DTS-HD Master Audio Stereo). It’s just $18 right now which is exceptionally good for three CDs worth of hi-res audio. That’s close to half the equivalent UK price, for example.
Don’t forget, this blu-ray edition isn’t available in the super deluxe edition box (that has a DVD) so this is well worth picking up, especially at this price. It’s released on 23 March, so this is a pre-order.

Amazon.de cancelled my order stated it’s unavailable!!!!!!
Pre-ordered.
This release was a very nice surprise. I have the original 3CD set. IIRC the DVD-A was 2 discs. This betters that by giving us the whole program on a single disc.
I just hope they don’t render the 24/96 moot by squashing the dynamics.
The tracklisting above includes Hello Marylou in the Whole Lotta Love medley.
I have seen it reported that it won’t be included this time (maybe for copyright reasons)
Anyone know either way yet?
Why did they bother using LA Drone as a separate track for a massive 14 seconds…
Any chance of including amazon Australia please for your future alert listings, for the fellow poms in Aus. Only recently opened up here. Although will likely be the most expensive site!
Pre-ordered
Years ago, I bought the DVD-A of this until I needed money and used copies of it became worth double than what I paid for it on eBay.
It will be good to get this back (and in Blu-ray format, no less) for less money than I paid for the original DVD-A.
Thanks again, Paul!
Thank you, Paul.
Paul, I love your site. You do a great service. Much appreciated. My credit card company lives you too.
For EU residents better going local time you’ve paid shipping and import duty……..
The value at which you used to pay VAT from outside the EU was £18 but it’s now £15 and, as before, this includes any postage and insurance. See:
https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
Rip-off Britain!
Even worse after Brexit because this:
“If you buy goods online from outside the EU for delivery to the UK…”
will become this:
“If you buy goods online from outside the UK for delivery to the UK…”
$30.32 with shipping (to the UK), tax and Import Fees Deposit
I pre ordered Zep blu-Ray for under 20us and The Who 1968 for only 12 US dollars and change. Thanks Paul, you’re the best!
You pay no VAT if the item and postage costs are less than £15? Customs Duty is for items above £135 too?
There will be no duty on this as its under £18
“If you buy goods online from outside the EU for delivery to the UK, you’ll have to pay Customs Duty (if over £120 value) and Import VAT (if over £18) on top of the purchase price (including duties), though Customs Duty is waived if the amount of the calculated duty payable is £7 or less.”
Comes in at $30 with delivery and tax.
To where?
UK? Bit weird.
Its fine, but savings are less when you import to UK. Still a bit cheaper than UK price (£25).
What has puzzled me is whether there’s any way to pre-pay the import duty etc. Fed up with paying duty and then getting screwed for VAT and a disproportionate handling fee on top. It would pretty much double the price and negate any saving.
