The Complete Studio Recordings

Description

Big enough for Led Zeppelin’s towering sound, this 10-CD
box set collects all nine of the legendary band’s original studio albums
released from 1969 to 1982. Included are: Led Zeppelin I (1969), Led Zeppelin
II (1969), Led Zeppelin III (1970), IV (1971), Houses of the Holy (1973),
Physical Graffitti (1975) (2CD), Presence (1976), In Through the Out Door
(1979), and Coda (1982). A true stairway to heaven for Zep fans, this massive
box originally released in 1993 features each classic title with its original
album artwork. 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
