Physical Graffiti Available for Pre-Order

From Led Zeppelin/Rhino Records:

PHYSICAL GRAFFITI DELUXE EDITION ARRIVES EXACTLY 40 YEARS AFTER DEBUT, PRODUCED AND NEWLY REMASTERED BY JIMMY PAGE, WITH PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED COMPANION AUDIO Multiple CD, Vinyl, And Digital Formats, Including Limited Edition Super Deluxe Boxed Set, Available February 24 The Led Zeppelin reissue campaign continues in 2015, turning the spotlight on the double album Physical Graffiti. The deluxe edition of the group’s sixth studio album will arrive 40 years to the day after the original debuted on February 24, 1975. As with the previous deluxe editions, Physical Graffiti has been newly remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page and is accompanied by a disc of companion audio comprising previously unreleased music related to the original release. Certified 16x platinum in the U.S., the commercial success of Physical Graffiti was equaled by its critical reception. Generally regarded as one of the greatest double albums of all time, the original 15 tracks represent a creative tour de force that explores the band’s dynamic musical range, from the driving rock of “Custard Pie” and acoustic arrangement of “Bron-Y-Aur Stomp” to the Eastern raga of “Kashmir” and funky groove of “Trampled Under Foot.” The companion audio disc that accompanies the deluxe edition of Physical Graffiti has seven unreleased tracks, including rough mixes of “In My Time Of Dying” and “Houses Of The Holy,” as well as an early mix of “Trampled Under Foot” called “Brandy & Coke.” All the unreleased companion tracks offer fans a chance to hear well-known songs from a different perspective, including the Sunset Sound mix of “Boogie With Stu” and “Driving Through Kashmir,” a rough orchestra mix of the band’s eight minute opus “Kashmir.” Also featured is “Everybody Makes It Through,” a strikingly different early version of “In The Light” with alternate lyrics. Physical Graffiti is now available for pre-order in the following formats:

Jason Bonham in 2015

It looks like Jason Bonham's plans for 2015 are starting to firm up. On Episode 80 of Ramble On Radio last month, James Dylan confirmed that Jason was booking Led Zeppelin Experience shows for March.

The first date has popped up on Ticketmaster, March 11 at the Uptown Theatre, Napa California. Tickets go on sale Monday. Look for more dates to be announced in the next week or two.

On May 2nd, Sammy Hagar and The Circle to play the Carolina Rebellion Festival in Concord, NC. The Circle features Jason, Michael Anthony and guitarist Vic Johnson from the band Waboritas. Also on the 2-day festival (May 2nd and 3rd) lineup is Slash, featuring rumoured almost Zeppeliner Myles Kennedy, Cheap Trick, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, Slayer and a host of others.

There will be, I am sure, much more from Jason as 2015 develops.

Robert Plant Space Shifting Continues

Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters have announced their first performance if 2015, headlining the BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley California on May 29th - 31st.

Joining Imagine Dragons and No Doubt at the top of the BottleRock billing.

The links show the album will be 2-LP/2-CD set with the Deluxe Edition including a single disk of bonus material. The Super Deluxe Edition box set, which includes a numbered print, high def. digital files and hardcover book, will be a six disk (3-LP/3-CD) set, that is showing a price of $159.98 in US and £131.99 at Amazon UK.

The release is not official yet, and neither are the Amazon links, but it appears you can pre-order through those links if you find them.

I will update this post with official links when they are online.
