Led Zeppelin - "The Complete BBC Sessions"

Nearly 20 years ago, Led Zeppelin introduced BBC Sessions, an acclaimed two-disc set of live recordings selected from the band’s appearances on BBC radio between 1969 and 1971. The Complete BBC Sessions builds on the 1997 collection with a third disc that boasts eight unreleased performances. In addition, the set includes extensive session-by-session liner notes. For the first time ever, it provides accurate details and notes about all of the band’s BBC sessions.

The collection has been newly remastered with supervision by Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page and expanded with eight unreleased BBC recordings, including three rescued from a previously “lost” session from 1969. The Complete BBC Sessions is available as a remastered digital download, deluxe 3CD edition, a deluxe 5LP 180 gram vinyl edition and super deluxe boxed set featuring the 3CD and 5LP editions.

Musical highlights on this new collection include the debut of a long-lost radio session that has achieved near-mythic status among fans. Originally broadcast in April 1969, the session included three songs: I Can’t Quit You Baby, You Shook Me, and the only recorded performance of Sunshine Woman. Also included are two unreleased versions of both Communication Breakdown and What Is And What Should Never Be. Separated by two years, the performances vividly demonstrate the young band’s rapid evolution over a short period of time.

In 1968, Jimmy Page formed Led Zeppelin, one of the most influential, innovative and successful groups in modern music, having sold more than 300 million albums worldwide. Led Zeppelin continues to be honoured for its pivotal role in music history. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a year later was awarded the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm. The last two years saw an unprecedented reissue campaign of all nine of the band’s studio albums, which achieved Top 10 chart status around the globe whilst also garnering 5-star reviews and other critical accolades along the way.
