Newly Remastered By Jimmy Page,
John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant came together in 1968 as Led Zeppelin. Over the next decade, the band would become one of the most influential, innovative and successful groups in modern music, selling more than 300 million albums worldwide. Their songs are some of the most celebrated in rock ‘n’ roll history that, to this day, resonate with fans young and old around the globe. Still, no matter how many times you may have listened to their music, you’ve never heard Led Zeppelin like this before.Following the whirlwind success of their first two albums and near constant
touring, Page and Plant took to the now famous Bron-Yr-Aur cottage in Wales in 1970 to start
the early composition of Led Zeppelin
III. They later convened with Bonham and Jones for rehearsals before
entering London’s Olympic Studios
to begin recording in May 1970. Fueled by classic tracks such as “Immigrant
Song” and “Since I’ve Been Loving You,” the album soared to the top of charts
worldwide upon its release in October of 1970 and has since been certified 6x
platinum.
Led Zeppelin continues to be honored for its pivotal role in music history. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a year later was awarded with the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm. Founding members Jones, Page and Plant – along with Jason Bonham, the son of John Bonham – took the stage at London’s O2 Arena in 2007 to headline a tribute concert for Ahmet Ertegun, a dear friend and Atlantic Records’ founder. The band was honored for its lifetime contribution to American culture at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012. In January of 2014, the band won their first ever Grammy award as Celebration Day, which captured their live performance at the Ertegun tribute concert, was named Best Rock Album.
