LED ZEPPELIN - Complete Studio Recordings (1993)

As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, "There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them." Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll; in its loving homage to and shameless piracy from the blues, its glorious and wretched excess, its transformation of hippie and folk-rock graces into a foundation-shaking kaboom, and its offhanded myth-making, the band turned everything caught in its wake into a reaction to it--or against it. The three non-album tracks the box includes are grace notes rather than lost jewels, but the point of the set is to be a Rosetta stone of album rock, the stairway to a gaudy paradise that they constructed. --Douglas Wolk

Coverdale to Zeppelin: Bag the Tour, Record an Album

Opinions have been plentiful when it comes to whether Led Zeppelin should hit the road with or without lead singer Robert Plant, and most of them haven’t been very kind. Everyone from Jeff Beck to Paul McCartney to Paul Weller has offered their point of view on the subject, essentially urging the legendary rockers to abandon their plans if Plant doesn’t want to partake.

Now, Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale is offering his take on the matter, but with a twist. He told Uncut magazine recently that he has advised Jimmy Page and company to back off on plans for a world tour and instead record an album with several guest vocalists, similar to what Carlos Santana did for his mega-hit Supernatural.

Coverdale, who also teamed with Page for 1993’s Coverdale-Page album, said, “My suggestion to him when I saw him in the summer was to do what Carlos Santana did with Supernatural. Get a selection of people in, because there’s no question John Paul Jones writes f*#@ing kick-ass music. I said Joe Elliott [of Def Leppard] and me would come in and do a track rather than the focus be on one person.

“Will people be willing to see three-quarters of the family with a guest — a cousin twice removed?” Coverdale asked. “I'm as curious as anyone to see how it works out ... Change is good as long as you f*#@ing deliver. I hope it comes together for him because, Jesus, he deserves it.”

Coverdale went on to say that his collaboration with Page in 1993 was one of the high points of his career, and that the experience also taught him plenty about working with other musicians.

“When I worked with Jimmy Page, that was totally inspiring for me, and you can hear that on the Coverdale-Page album,” he said. “And that was a great parameter for me to look at. The only people I would be prepared to work with are ones who would, who I'd feel could drive me, inspire me to go for notes I've never gone for before.”

Check out Coverdale rocking out with Page on Zeppelin’s “Black Dog” in Osaka, Japan during a stop on their 1993 world tour.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
