The final three of the official Led Zeppelin catalog now have a date set for their day in the sun. As with the previous LedZep classics that have been remastered and expanded in definitive editions, so will it be for Presence (1976), In Through The Out Door (1979), and Coda (1982).

Of course, there is so much more to revel in, information-wise. To get the full info, including ordering links, simply go to Led Zeppelin’s website, and click away to everything that you could want to know about any and all of them (including past reissues).
These reissues have been a tad disappointing. Doesn’t seem like they really unearthed much unreleased material other than “rough mixes”. At least the catalog is getting a decent remastering.
Well this last set of remaster/reissues is a motherlode of material. I, for one, am looking forward to the In Through The Out Door remaster…great stuff!
I agree J-Jam but with that said, I’ve bought all of the deluxe cd sets. They’ve finally made Coda a must have album (even though I would have picked up regardless… it’s Zeppelin).
I like that LZ didn’t drag it out over years. Sir Paul could learn something from them.
Will they be working on the live albums next? For example, a complete Song Remains The Same recordings would be nice.
That’s a good question!
I thought they already did in 2007.
The original album had this track listing:
Rock And Roll
Celebration Day
The Song Remains The Same
Rain Song
Dazed And Confused
No Quarter
Stairway To Heaven
Moby Dick
Whole Lotta Love
The 2007 version added these songs:
Black Dog
Over The Hills And Far Away
Misty Mountain Hop
Since I’ve Been Loving You
The Ocean
Heartbreaker
What other songs did they play at that concert that weren’t on the 2007 version? If there are many more that must have been one long-ass concert.
There are probably other concerts, never released, that they could concentrate on.
The 2007 version had extra songs but different versions of many songs compared to the original album; in particular the version of No Quarter was not the same as on the original album (I noticed it on the first listen). The album is a compilation of three concerts (frequently cutting between concerts in the middle of a song), and it would be great to have all three show, or as much as remains of them in the vault, without overdubs and cuts.
