[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LedZeppelinMothership.jpg

Image:LedZeppelinMothership.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] same album

Anyone notice all these songs (Besides 'D'yer Mak'er') were released in a dual-disc compilation album? I mean what's the point of even releasing this, although I'm a huge Led Zeppelin fan and probably will buy it. 71.238.255.214 08:35, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Remasters

Compare this one with the Mothership. ridiculous. On Remasters, you have 26 Tracks (15+11), on Mothership it's only 24 (13+11). Most of the songs are the same. On Remasters, you get Celebration Days, The Battle of Evermore and Misty Mountain Hop which aren't on Mothership. Mothership however has When the Levee Breaks. One song to beat three others...? That's for each of the first disks. On disk 2 the only difference is The Rain Song (Remasters) instead of Over The Hills And Far Away (Mothership).
OK, if I had to choose between those two today, I would maybe actually go for mothership because the cover of Remasters wasn't such a beauty. But if I already owned Remasters, why buy the other one? Sorry, a bit off-topic perhaps...--Rupert Pupkin (talk) 00:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

And you get the music ruined because of the "remastering" process... ie. applying excessive dynamic range compression. The songs on this album sound terrible. Please don't buy it. See: Loudness war
