About this re-issue series…
John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant came together in 1968 as LED ZEPPELIN. Over the next decade, the band would become one of the most influential, innovative and successful groups in modern music, selling more than 300 million albums worldwide!
Their songs are some of the most celebrated in rock ‘n’ roll history that, to this day resonate with fans young and old around the globe. Still, no matter how many times you may have listened to their music, you’ve never heard LED ZEPPELIN like this before.
With the June 2nd 20124 release of Deluxe Editions of ‘Led Zeppelin’, ‘Led Zeppelin II’, and ‘Led Zeppelin III’, the band launch an extensive reissue program of all nine of its studio albums in chronological order, each Remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page.
With these re-issues, LED ZEPPELIN also opens its vaults to share dozens of Unheard Studio and Live Recordings, with each album featuring a 2nd Disc (2 more LP’s in the case of the ‘LZ I’ vinyl) of Companion Audio comprised entirely of Unreleased Music related to that album.
The material on the companion discs presents a portal to the time of the recording of LED ZEPPELIN, says Page.
It is a selection of work in progress with rough mixes, backing tracks, alternate versions and new material recorded at the time.
About this re-issue…
The Led Zeppelin legend began in January of 1969 with the group’s eponymous debut.
From the opening salvo of ‘Good Times Bad Times’, on through to ‘Babe I’m Gonna Leave You’, ‘Communication Breakdown’, and ‘Dazed And Confused’, the album introduced the band’s unmistakable sound and left an indelible mark on the music landscape.
The companion audio for ‘Led Zeppelin I’ features a previously unreleased performance recorded on October 10, 1969 at the Olympia Theatre in Paris. The nine-song set features seven tracks from the album, including an epic fifteen-minute version of ‘Dazed And Confused’, as well as ‘Heartbreaker’ and ‘Moby Dick’, which would debut on the ‘Led Zeppelin II’ album later that month.
This edition comes as the original album, plus 2LP’s of Companion Audio all on 180 Gram Vinyl in a Trifold Sleeve and featuring a Previously Unreleased October 1969 Concert from Paris, France.
CDS Team comments…
Now far from us being cynical about this, but like you, we're music fans and buyers ... we bought the last batch of Page remasters and were somewhat surprised by their slightly over-processed quality and the ongoing arguments about just which batch of LZ CDs actually sound the best ... and the battle still rages on that front by the way ...
So ... will the inclusion of unreleased material sway you?
Will Page's ancient and (probably) knackered lug'oles have been perceptive enough to actually give these releases the much-needed analogue warmth they require?
We don't know, as like the rest of the world we haven't heard them yet, but knowing you'll probably be thinking the same things as we have been since the releases were announced, we just thought we should include something.
Zep-mania is back (again) and it's after your pension pot …
