Presence, In Through The Out Door, and Coda have been remastered for 2015 by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page and are accompanied by companion audio comprised of previously unreleased music related to the original release.
The appropriately titled Coda was Led Zeppelin s final album of studio recordings. Released in 1982, it was comprised of eight unreleased tracks recorded between 1970 and 1978. It peaked at #6 on the album charts and has been certified platinum in the U.S.
The reissue campaign ends with a double-barrel blast of Led. Coda will be the only Led Zeppelin deluxe edition to include two companion discs, featuring 15 tracks recorded between 1968 and 1974. The oldest song in the collection is also perhaps the most interesting. The frenetic blues jam Sugar Mama was recorded in 1968 at Olympic Studios during sessions for the band s eponymous debut. The song was completed but never officially released until now. Baby Come On Home from the same session is also included in the set. Also included is the previously unreleased St. Tristan s Sword, a rollicking instrumental recorded during the Led Zeppelin III sessions in 1970.

Single CD Remastered original album. Coda will be packaged in a gatefold card wallet.

Two discs of extra tracks give this release the extra sauce that it’s needed for 35 years. Disappointing packaging mars one of the best of the Led Zeppelin ”Deluxe Editions.” The three-fold thin paper/cardboard cover will tear when trying to remove the central disc and booklet. That said, I LOVE disc three– over 40 years ago Jimmy worked with what he called the Bombay Orchestra, trying to get usable material for the songs ”Four Sticks” and ”Friends”; about 20 minutes of that material originally surfaced on an old ”Lucifer Rising” bootleg around 1992, and listening to it,…

Jammin’ with Led Zeppelin for the Last Time This album was released two years after the band broke up and features a mixture of songs from different recording sessions from 1970 up to 1978. The result doesn’t have the cohesive feel of an album but rather an impromptu jam session conducted in someone’s garage. They’re not following a strict pattern but rather playing whatever they feel like playing just for the hell of it. There is nothing wrong with that. Coda is a fun album to jam out to and serves as a nice epilogue to the band. Highly…
