Nothing beats the visceral satisfaction of finding music classics on vinyl at the local swap meet. Or better yet, swiping classic rock records from Dad’s forgotten collection. But there has to be something said about getting those old jams freshly remastered onto brand new, fresh-off-the-press wax. In that case, you’ll be happy to hear about Led Zeppelin remastered boxed […]

B&W pretty much proved that amazing sound and visual beauty could coexist and indeed cohabit. Now they’ve got the Zeppelin Mini dropping in November […]
