Now, 40 years to the week after its original release, it is the turn of Physical Graffiti. Out on Monday, with extra whistles, bells and seven supplementary tracks, Zep’s sixth still lives up to its billing as one of the best double albums of all time.
The record took 18 months to finish, with sessions delayed when bassist John Paul Jones announced he was leaving to become a choirmaster at Winchester Cathedral.

The six-CD set will include all five Style Council albums (including the unreleased-until-1998 Modernism: A New Decade) as well as the mini-LP that gathered up a few early singles and B-sides, 1983′s Introducing The Style Council.

Несмотря на почетный титул "дедов хэви-метал", легендарные Led Zeppelin всегда выстраивали магические круги своих песен вокруг одних лишь голосов и гитар. А электрический саунд и плотно сбитые аранжировки лишь оберегали это хрупкое волшебство от нападок зложелателей. Правда, никто доселе не пытался по-настоящему очистить бессмертные хиты до акустической первоосновы и проверить - есть ли там эта магия на самом деле.

As well as a single CD remaster (in a gatefold sleeve with an eight-page booklet) there is a deluxe 2CD version of Led Zeppelin II that has a second disc of previously unreleased studio outtakes. The Led Zeppelin II companion audio gives fans the first peek into the band’s recording sessions, with alternate mixes of five songs from the album, backing tracks to Thank You and Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman), and the previously unreleased track La La. The deluxe sets feature original artwork, plus a newly created negative artwork for the companion audio. The box set contains everything, including the book and hi-res downloads.

The first album come as a single vinyl remaster and a deluxe triple vinyl edition which includes the original album remastered, plus two further records of companion audio on 180g vinyl in a tri-fold sleeve. The extra audio on the ‘companion disc’ is eight tracks from Led Zeppelin Live at the Olympia, a previously unreleased October 1969 concert from Paris, France.​ This content is repeated on the 2CD edition. The Super Deluxe Edition box set contains both CDs and all three vinyl records, plus book, digital downloads and more.

In 1968, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant formed Led Zeppelin, one of the most influential, innovative and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. The band rose from the ashes of The Yardbirds, when Page brought in Plant, Bonham and Jones to tour as The New Yardbirds. In 1969, Led Zeppelin released its self-titled debut. It marked the beginning of a 12-year reign, during which the group was widely considered to be the biggest and most innovative rock band in the world. The Led Zeppelin reissue campaign got off to an remarkable start in June 2014 as deluxe editions of Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin III debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. The albums achieved similar international success with debuts near the top of the charts in more than a dozen territories, including Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

The double vinyl version of Led Zeppelin III includes the original album (remastered) on one record with a second album of ‘companion audio’ which features seven previously unreleased studio outtakes from the album as well as three previously unheard compositions: Jennings Farm Blues (an instrumental forerunner of Bron-Yr-Aur Stomp), Bathroom Sound (an instrumental version of Out On The Tiles), and their take on the blues classics Keys To The Highway/Trouble In Mind. Both records will be pressed on 180g vinyl and will come in a tri-fold sleeve that includes the wheel and die-cut holes from the original LP sleeve. The 2CD edition contains the same bonus audio as the deluxe vinyl and also has a sleeve with the wheel and the die-cuts. Again, the Super Deluxe Edition box set gathers up all vinyl and CD content and adds hi-res downloads, a 70 page hardcover book and the high quality art print.

Recorded live at Stage College, Towson, Maryland on October 16th, 1979.
