Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i wish i had voted in this...but Wearing and Tearing won anyways so oh well...

I generally get aggravated by endless iterations of bloated deluxe versions of things, but I'm glad this version includes Travellin Riverside Blues and Hey Hey What Can I Do, great songs that deserve a proper resting place.

They are good songs but I prefer them homeless

I don't think these Bombay Orchestra bits work at all though, probably better they never were released

Yeah, also Travellin' Riverside is on the BBC Sessions disc, and both have been on various boxed sets. So IDK, but it just seems like it makes sense to have these two tracks on *the outtakes and extras record*

It's not exactly a new development. They were appended to Coda in 1993.

travellin riverside was on the original 4 CD box set that i listened to a ton back in the day

I think it was on the Led Zeppelin Remasters CD set which was the first non-dubbed Zeppelin I ever owned.

I wanna say that was a 3-CD set, but not sure.

this was the one i had, 4 CD

Yeah totally remember that one. I had this one:

However, I weirdly don't see those two songs -- maybe they were interspersed with the "interview" or something?

I've never even seen that Remasters thing before. I bought the gray studio albums box a few years ago; Amazon had it for $65 or something. Those two songs are tacked onto the Coda disc.

Yeah I wanna say it was probably a present, because I don't think I was walking into Sam Goody and buying multi-CD sets when I was 11.

There was a 4-disc set, and then (stupidly) two 2-disc sets, iirc. "Baby Come On Home" may have been unique to one of the 2-disc sets, "Hey Hey What Can I Do" was exclusive to the 4-disc. I think. It was pretty silly, which is why the Complete Studio box released basically the next year was the way to go.

Walter’s Walk is great, Ozone Baby too, especially the sinewy break

I'm not convinced that Robert Plant ever heard the name 'Darlene' spoken aloud before recording the song.

(Just now realizing that, while every other LZ album is practically branded onto my DNA at this point, I don't think I've listened to this one all the way through since high school. Which was a really fricken long time ago, lemme tell you.)

Dobba-lene

He kinda sounds like he just finished eating a yogurt.

Gobble lean

More than their other albums, this one evokes for me the cigarette and beer stink, stained carpets, brown walls & grime of a rock recording studio (even though it was probably mostly done at Abbey Road).

Three of 'em we're done at ABBA's studio! And two others were remixed concert recordings!

Let the man have his imagination wouldja

I imagine ABBA's studio got pretty grody after the divorces...

The drums sound incredible throughout this album.

Walter’s Walk is great, Ozone Baby too, especially the sinewy break

Yes on both counts. "WW" rips, and "OB" is an unusually "poppy" (but muscular) number.

"Ozone Baby" is as close as they ever got to being the Stones...could easily see it fitting in on an early Woody-era LP.

this was my second zep album and it is all fucking time, way better than "in through the out door" (which i had on a bootleg dub from scout camp on the back of the much superior first album) imo

"ozone baby" is my fave. second fave is "walter's walk", love those anachronistic '78 vox

the "darlene" pronunciation strikes me as a botched attempt at a '50s rock-n-roll hiccup
