Led Zeppelin may not want to tour or get back together, but they know how to make money. For their reissue series they’re pulling out the big guns this fall: “Led Zeppelin IV” and “Houses of the Holy.”
The Zep already put out their first three albums all dolled up with extra unreleased tracks, remastered, with serious art work. Those three sold like crazy and all made the album charts.
But now– these two will do even better. “IV” includes Stairway to Heaven, Black Dog, Rock & Roll, Going to California, and Misty Mountain Hop. “Houses of the Holy” has The Rain Song, D’yer Mak’er, Over the Hills and Far Away, The Song Remains the Same, and Dancing Days. Aside from “Immigrant Song” and “Kashmir,” those are Led Zeppelin’s biggest hits.
Circle October 27th. Jimmy Page supervised all the remastering. Here’s the tracklist:
