Led Zeppelin was at the peak of
its powers on July 27-29 1973 when the band’s performances at New York’s Madison
Square Garden were recorded for the concert film, The Song Remains The Same. The
soundtrack to the film, produced by Jimmy Page, was originally released on Swan
Song in 1976.
The band continues revisiting their live canon on September 7 with a new edition
of the soundtrack to THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME that features newly remastered
audio. This release follows the recent reissue of their live album How The West
Was Won, and rounds out the deluxe reissue series of their classic albums that
began in 2014, building to the band’s 50th anniversary celebration slated to
commence later this year. Coincidentally, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy
Page, and Robert Plant played their first live show together, under the moniker
“The New Yardbirds” at the time, on September 7, 1968.
THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME will be released in multiple formats from
Atlantic/Swan Song, including the full album’s debut in hi-res 5.1 surround
sound on Blu-ray. The Super Deluxe Boxed Set will be the most exquisite and
elaborate release in the reissue series, recreating the intricate embossing of
the set’s original issue and will also mark the first time the full length film
and soundtrack have been available in the same package. On the 4-LP set, Page
made a change to the track sequence, allowing the epic, 29-minute version of
“Dazed And Confused” to be featuring in its entirety on one side of vinyl for
the first time.
