The material on the BBC SESSIONS is drawn from the band's performances for the British Broadcasting Corporation in 1969 and 1971. Disc 1 is presented in mono while Disc 2 is presented in stereo.

There is no question that Led Zeppelin was one of the greatest studio bands ever. Every rock album made since 1969 owes a huge debt to the techniques Jimmy Page developed, especially his groundbreaking "guitar-as-orchestra" style of layering track upon track. But what is often forgotten is that for all of their studio tinkering, they could deliver a live performance as powerful and full of spontaneity as any "jam" band.

Disc one, recorded on four separate nights in 1969, shows a raw, blues-obsessed rock and roll band. The emphasis is clearly placed on creating a highly-charged improvisatory atmosphere. Recorded in 1971, just before the release of their seminal IV album, disc two captures a band exploring the limits of what they could create live without losing sight of their roots. The performances are more cerebral and introspective, with more attention paid to arrangements, though they still find the time to stretch out and jam, particularly during "Whole Lotta Love" and "Dazed And Confused." Recorded at two critical points in the band's career, THE BBC SESSIONS offers an important look at Led Zeppelin as they define and redefine themselves, and in the process, rock and roll.

Recorded between 1969 and 1971.

Includes liner notes by Luis Rey.

Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals); Jimmy Page (guitar); John Paul Jones (keyboards, bass); John Bonham (drums).Rolling Stone (12/25/97, p.164) - "...captures Led Zeppelin in their early, hungry prime, a white blues-rock band with big ideas and the instrumental might and cocksure nerve to pull them off..."
Entertainment Weekly (11/28/97, p.85) - "Let Page and Plant timewarp you back to a pre-PHYSICAL GRAFFITI era when Zep were still breathing blues fire. These oft-bootlegged live shows from '69 and '71 (remastered by Page himself) are sloppy, gravy thick, and rife with inspired Page-Plant interplay..."
- Rating: B
Melody Maker (11/29/97, p.44) - "...the band at their rawest, bluesiest best."
Musician (4/98, pp.87-88) - "...the mettle of the mighty Zep comes through loud and raw....BBC SESSIONS is a must own..."

5 stars GREAT LIVE ZEPPELIN - THEIR BEST
THEIR BEST LIVE CD , ESPECIALLY THE 1969 CONCERT CUTS. THE 4-71 SHOW ISN'T BAD , BUT THE BAND WAS FORMULAIC BY THEN AND THE "IMPROV" WAS PREDICTABLE AND BORING. THEIR GREATEST IMPACT CAME FROM PLAYING 4 MINUTE HARD ROCK SONGS OF AWESOME POWER DUE TO BONHAM'S THUNDERING DRUMS AND PAGE'S ON-THE-EDGE GUITAR. NO HARD ROCK COLLECTION SHOULD BE WITHOUT THIS. GIDDIT!!

CD $14.29  3.1 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
"Fuel" was nominated for the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. "Better Than You" won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. When Metallica recorded 1996's LOAD, the studio sessions were fruitful enough for the band to put out two records. A year and a half later, RELOAD is the inevitable follow-up. Stretching beyond Metallica's speed metal roots, RELOAD is a continuation of the experimentation that ...

CD $19.39  4.5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
GARAGE INC. includes the GARAGE DAYS RE-REVISITED EP as well as rare B-sides and newly recorded covers. Disc one recorded at The Plant Studios, Sausalito, California in September & October 1998. Disc two recorded at various locations between 1984 and 1998. Includes liner notes by David Fricke. "Whiskey In The Jar" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. Anybody who's anybody in rock has been in a cover band. Although "cover" has a negative connotation, it is the playing of others' material that forges the identity and agenda of future superstars. Every recorded cover tune from Metallica plus 11 newly recorded covers are included in this double-CD set. They combine to give fans a glimpse into the wide variety of influences that have shaped metal's mightiest band. Disc one is the new material, and Metallica place their undeniable stamp on each track. Transforming Bob Seger's midtempo "Turn ...

Led Zeppelin Complete Studio Recordings CDs  (1993)

BBC Sessions
CD $90.25  5 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
THE COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS contains Led Zeppelin's 9 studio albums as well as 3 bonus tracks. The 10 CDs come in a deluxe box and include all original album art and a book with rare photos and liner notes by Cameron Crowe. Digitally remastered by Jimmy Page and George Marino at Sterling Sound, New York, New York. Released in 1993, THE COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGS is a ten-CD collection of Led Zeppelin's officially released studio albums along with a handful of rarities, all personally remastered by Jimmy Page. After releasing a self-titled, blues-based debut and a harder-rocking follow-up primarily recorded on tour, Led Zeppelin's muse was soon travelling all over the map. On LED ZEPPELIN III, the band retreated to the Welsh countryside, influenced by the folkier side of Joni Mitchell and The Byrds, whereas the HOUSES OF THE HOLY found the band delving into funk and reggae. Although "Stairway To Heaven" was the epic that defined the band in many people's eyes, it was PHYSICAL GRAFFITTI's "Kashmir" that the surviving members still point ...

Right around the same time the Hendrix juggernaut started snowballing in England, the BBC was in the midst of setting up Radio 1, an entity dedicated to broadcasting pop music. Spearheaded by adventurous DJs such as John Peel and Alexis Korner, Radio 1 provided an outlet for the creative outpouring of the newly arrived Hendrix along with countless others. Since many BBC sessions fell halfway between being a studio recording and a live performance, BBC SESSIONS shows off some ...
