Led Zep Go Back to the Future

The current thinking in the music biz is that Vinyl records are back, and the next big thing. Reasoning is that they are gaining traction amongst younger fans, the CD's convenience has been replaced by the MP3's super convenience, better packaging in albums, and that long rumoured warmer sound.

I mention this because Led Zeppelin will be releasing Mothership and the new Song Remains the Same on vinyl record.

Mothership will be a 4 LP audiophile quality vinyl with collectible memorabilia listed at $75US. It is set for a March 31st release date, and can be pre-ordered now from Acoustic Sounds for $60.

Track Listings

Side one
Good Times Bad Times
Communication Breakdown
Dazed And Confused
Babe I’m Gonna Leave You

Side two
Whole Lotta Love
Ramble On
Heartbreaker
Immigrant Song

Side three
Since I’ve Been Loving You
Rock And Roll
Black Dog

Side four
When The Levee Breaks
Stairway To Heaven
The Song Remains The Same

Side five
Over The Hills And Far Away
D’Yer Maker
No Quarter

Side Six
Trampled Under Foot
Houses Of The Holy
Kashmir

Side seven
Nobody’s Fault But Mine
Achilles Last Stand

Side eight
In The Evening
All My Love

The Song Remains The Same will also be a four LP set (I am assuming audiophile quality as well) available on March 31st - pre-order for $60.

Note that Dazed and Confused will be broken into two parts, reaching across side 5 and side 6. That is certainly not an improvement over the original release, but also serves to remind us of vinyls limitations.
