BBC Sessions Reissue

Product links for a new, remastered BBC Sessions on Vinyl and CD was released on Amazon. The links show the BBC sessions getting the full re-release treatment, including 5-LP, 3-CD Deluxe Edition, currently priced at $180US.

Alternate "reverse" cover for BBC sessions.
The remasters will be released September 16 and come in a 5-LP 180 Gram Vinyl Edition ($100), a 3-CD Edition ($25) as well as a Super Deluxe Edition 3-CD/5-LP Edition. The Deluxe Edition has a 48-page booklet and presumably there will be a corresponding digital release, and currently iTunes is showing no listing for this album whatsoever. The set was remastered by John Davis and Jimmy Page.

Word has it that Tight But Loose's Dave Lewis wrote "session-by-session notes" for the liner notes.

Here's the tracklising for the 3-CD, 5-LP deluxe edition. You can extrapolate trackless for the individual releases from this:
