The group will reissue its first three albums as deluxe editions, including previously unreleased tracks, according to Rollingstone.com. As part of its self-described “extensive reissue program” of all nine of its studio albums, guitarist/producer Jimmy Page has re-mastered each release. They will be available as single discs, or as a deluxe edition featuring a bonus disc of previously unreleased studio and live tracks recorded at the same time. “Led Zeppelin,” “Led Zeppelin II” and “Led Zeppelin III” will hit stores June 3rd. The albums will be released as a single CD, two-disc deluxe edition, single LP on 180-gram vinyl (with a sleeve that replicates the original “Led Zeppelin III” moving wheel), deluxe-edition vinyl and digital download.
The group is also making a limited-edition “Super Deluxe Boxed Set” of each album available that includes all of the audio on CD and vinyl, as well as a high-definition audio download card, a hard-bound book containing rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia and a high-quality print of the album cover, the first 30,000 of which will be numbered. The Super Deluxe edition of “Led Zeppelin” will also contain a replica of the band’s original Atlantic press kit. “The material on the companion discs presents a portal to the time of the recording of Led Zeppelin,” Page said in a statement. “It is a selection of work in progress with rough mixes, backing tracks, alternate versions and new material recorded at the time.”
