Jimmy Page has posted an update on the planned Led Zeppelin reissues project, which has been scheduled to begin in 2014.
“The first of the Led Zeppelin reissues – comprising of ‘Led Zeppelin I,’ ‘Led Zeppelin II’ and ‘Led Zeppelin III’ – will be released this year,” wrote Page on his website. “I’ve also been working on some of my own material from the archives that will be unleashed in 2014.”
The guitarist recently confirmed that the reissues will include unreleased material by the band.
“Each of the albums has been remastered but it also has a companion disc with it,” Page revealed at the Classic Rock Awards in London. “Let’s take for example, ‘Led Zeppelin III’ - that’s remastered from analogue from the original thing. I know everybody does that, but what they don’t do.. I revisited all the working mixes that were done at the time.”
“There’s different versions,” continued Page, “Say for example, there’s ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’ – there’s an incredible version of that which is totally different, it’s really raw in its approach, it’s quite dramatic, it’s cool.”
