ike the previous deluxe reissues, each album will include the original LP, newly remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page, alongside a second disc of previously unreleased audio culled from the band members’ vaults. Additionally, each release will also be available as a single album, a single vinyl LP,a deluxe double-LP, digital download and a super deluxe box set, the latter of which features the CDs, LPs, a download card, an 80-page hardbound book with previously unseen photos and memorabilia and a high-quality print of the album cover.
The group’s fourth album has become one of the best-selling albums in history since its 1971 release. Home to AOR staples like “Stairway to Heaven,” “Rock & Roll,” “Black Dog” and “When the Levee Breaks,” the album, which is technically untitled, has been certified 23-times platinum. The deluxe edition contains previously unreleased versions of each of the album’s eight tracks. Included are alternate mixes of “Rock & Roll,” “Misty Mountain Hop” and “Four Sticks,” a mandolin/guitar mix of “The Battle of Evermore” and a markedly different version of “Stairway to Heaven” that the group recorded at Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound Studio.
