Get the Led Out Online
The songs remain the same—except now they'll be available in digital format.
Led Zeppelin's full catalog is going online as of next month, the British rockers said Monday. The band has been one of the last remaining holdouts among major acts when it came to joining the digital era.
"We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalog will now be available digitally," Jimmy Page said in a statement. "The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever manner that they prefer."
The albums being made available for download as of Nov. 13 include Led Zeppelin (1969), Led Zeppelin II (1969), Led Zeppelin III (1970), untitled fourth album (1971), Houses of the Holy (1973), Physical Graffiti (1975), Presence (1976), In Through the Out Door (1979), Coda (1982) and How the West Was Won (2003).
In addition, a newly remastered version of 1979's The Song Remains the Same will be reissued on Nov. 20, while a new two-disc compilation album Mothership is due for release Nov. 13.
Zeppelin was formed in 1968 and broke up in 1980, following the death of drummer John Bonham. To date, the band has sold more than 300 million albums worldwide.
Last month, the surviving band members—Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones—announced they would reunite at London's O2 Arena on Nov. 26 for a memorial concert in honor of the late Ahmet Ertegun, the founder of Atlantic Records. Bonham's son, Jason, will sit in for his late father on the drums.
The announcement caused frenzied excitement, with more than a million fans registering online to apply for 10,000 available tickets.
Though the one-night reunion sparked hope among classic rock devotees that Zeppelin would subsequently embark on a full-scale tour, Plant has denied such reports.
"There'll be one show and that'll be it," he told Britain's Uncut magazine.
"We need to do one last great show because we've done some shows and they've been crap."
