The Legendary Group’s New Comprehensive 4LP Collection Featuring 24 Epic Songs Chosen, Sequenced & Remastered Under The Band’s Direct Supervision! The Release Is Part Of A Global Led Zeppelin Event With The Re-Release Of THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME DVD And Expanded/Remastered Soundtrack, Along With The Band’s Performance At A Benefit Tribute Concert For The Late Atlantic Records Founder Ahmet Ertegun.
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 new 4LP Led Zeppelin compilation— with the re-release of THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME on CD, DVD, AND LP and a concert event reuniting Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones—qualifies. Produced by Page, MOTHERSHIP’s 24 tracks were selected and sequenced by the band, who also oversaw the 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.
