BACKGROUND:
"Led Zeppelin redefined rock in the Seventies and for all time. They were as influential in that decade as the Beatles were in the prior one. Their impact extends to classic and alternative rockers alike. Then and now, Led Zeppelin looms larger than life on the rock landscape as a band for the ages with an almost mystical power to evoke primal passions."
—from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's web page on the band's 1995 induction
It's rare that a group can truly rock today's world, but the arrival of MOTHERSHIP, the first-ever comprehensive 2CD Led Zeppelin compilation—with the soon to follow re-release of The S ong Remains The Same on CD & DVD and a concert event reuniting Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones—qualifies. Produced by Page and mixed by Kevin Shirley, MOTHERSHIP's 24 monolithic tracks were selected and sequenced by the band, who also oversaw the painstaking remastering. Spanning their epic career, the unprecedented collection pulls immortal songs from all eight of the band's classic studio albums, one of the 20th century's most enduring bodies of musical work. Arguably the most influential and innovative rock band ever, Led Zeppelin has sold over 200 million records worldwide. They continue to inspire successive generations with their passionate, groundbreaking, genre-transcendent, mystic, heavy and blues-infused rock 'n roll. Forty years since they formed, the song indeed remains the same.
