Most people know the Led Zeppelin debut album as the one with the orange color that featured the four band members looking at the camera. Before switching to this version, however, the very first cover released depicted the Hindenburg disaster with the band name in blue in the top left corner. This is why this version has been dubbed “the turquoise version” by collectors. They had their feet under the table, but now they had to prove themselves. Robert Plant: “That was the album that was going to dictate whether or not we had the staying power and the capacity to stimulate. It was still blues-based, but it was a much more carnal approach to the music and quite flamboyant.”After a brief hiatus, Zeppelin regrouped in the spring of 1974 and convened at a remote estate in Headley Grange, where they dove headlong into a verdant songwriting frenzy that would yield their enduring masterpiece – the utterly enthralling Physical Graffiti. Whichever way you look at it, when In Through The Out Door was released in August 1979 the musical climate was plain wrong. In the big wide world outside the closeted confines of Zep, disco, punk and new wave held sway. The advent of Spandau Ballet, Visage, Gary Numan, Duran Duran and the electronic movement that would initially be dubbed ‘futurist’ was also just around the corner.

Led Zeppelin in their element, captured live at the peak of their pomp. Well, almost. Though both performances combined here (from June 25 and 27, 1972 at the L.A. Forum and Long Beach Arena respectively) were extensively bootlegged, they’d never been heard quite like this. Well done, everybody. Zeppelin’s Ahmet Ertegun-honouring O2 Arena reunion show was a triumph, final proof that, if necessary, Zeppelin could still do Zeppelin. Jason Bonham was an admirable substitute for his late father. Everyone had a terrific time, and the Celebration Day double CD (and DVD, and triple vinyl) provides the ultimate souvenir of the occasion for all that attended. Were they as good as they ever were? No, they were not. Obviously. Print: High-quality print of the original album cover, the first 30,000 of which will be individually numbered Vinyl 1: Original album newly remastered on 180 gram vinyl, in a single sleeve replicating the original album Recorded in the immediate wake of Plant suffering a serious car accident while holidaying in Rhodes, Presence is an album captured as on-the-hoof as anything can be that involves a vocalist in a wheelchair. After just 18 days in Munich’s Musikland, Zeppelin emerged with an album that, while a predictably massive commercial success, is hardly their best. Nor is it their worst.The album was recorded in July 1973 at Madison Square Garden in New York City and the new version released on September 7, 2018 as a Super Deluxe Boxed Set, CD, Vinyl and Digital Versions, plus the full album’s debut release in Hi-Res 5.1 surround sound on blu-ray.
