The Complete BBC Sessions


INTRODUCING LED ZEPPELIN - THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS

Led Zeppelin - The Complete BBC Sessions

Remastering Supervised By Jimmy Page With Previously Unreleased Recordings

CDVinyl, And Digital Formats, Including Super Deluxe Boxed Set, Available September 16

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. On September 16th, the band will unveil THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS, an updated version of the collection that's been newly remastered with supervision by Jimmy Page and expanded with eight unreleased BBC recordings, including three rescued from a previously "lost" session from 1969.

BBC SESSIONS was originally released in 1997 and has been certified double platinum by the RIAA. THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS builds on that collection with a third disc that boasts eight unreleased performances. In addition, the set includes extensive session-by-session liner notes written by Dave Lewis. For the first time ever, it provides accurate details and notes about all of the band's BBC sessions.

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." 

THE COMPLETE BBC SESSIONS will be available in the following formats:  

• Deluxe Edition (3CD) 
Remastered original album plus a third disc of unreleased audio. 
• Deluxe Edition Vinyl (5LP)
