"New" Led Zep In November

Posted on

Mothership, a two-CD compilation of 24 remastered tracks culled from all eight Led Zeppelin studio albums is scheduled to be released on November 13th 2007 on the Atlantic/Rhino records label. The tracklist was handpicked by surviving Zep members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones and will boast such signatures as Whole Lotta Love, Stairway to Heaven, Kashmir, Dazed and Confused and Rock and Roll.
Mothership will be offered in multiple media configurations:

  • Standard Package – 2-CD set.
  • Deluxe Edition – 2-CD/ 1-DVD featuring a 90-minute, premiere-version of the “Led Zeppelin” DVD.
  • Collector’s Edition – 2-CD/1-DVD ultra-deluxe, collectible limited edition.
  • Vinyl Edition – 4 LPs, high-end, audiophile quality vinyl with collectible memorabilia.

Also scheduled to be released the same day is a new DVD version of the concert film The Song Remains the Same, in 5.1 surround sound and expanded to include all 14 songs that were performed during the 1973 Madison Square Garden shows in NYC. Among the extras are performances of Misty Mountain Hop, Over The Hills and Far Away, Celebration Day, and The Ocean; a 1976 BBC interview of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and a Cameron Crowe radio show. TSRTS will also be offered in multiple media configurations:

  • Deluxe Edition DVD.
  • Deluxe Edition HD DVD and Blu-ray.
  • Limited Collector’s Edition – A 2-disc set which will include a collectible vintage T-shirt with original album artwork design, Soundtrack CD, lobby cards, reproductions of original premiere invites, tour schedule, and more.

“We have revisited ‘The Song Remains The Same’,” says Jimmy Page, “and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square Garden. This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on ‘How The West Was Won’. When it comes to ‘The Song Remains The Same’, the expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list.”
Get the full track listing after the break. Depending on how much they cost, I actually want the collectors editions and even though this is Led Zep, I cannot believe I’m making that statement.
