REMINDER!  Tomorrow, July 31, marks one month of Friday release days, and it’s perhaps the most momentous yet – because tomorrow is when Led Zeppelin will conclude its much-heralded deluxe edition series with a plethora of reissues for its three final studio albums: Presence, In Through the Out Door and Coda.  

As with the previous deluxe editions, Presence, In Through The Out Door, and Coda have been newly remastered by Jimmy Page and are accompanied by companion audio programs featuring previously unreleased music selected and compiled by Page.

Presence, In Through The Out Door, and Coda will each be available July 31 from Atlantic/Swan Song in the following formats:

• Single CD – Remastered original album. Presence and Coda will be packaged in a
  gatefold card wallet. All CD and LP versions of In Through The Out Door will be
  wrapped in a brown paper page replicating its initial release.
• Deluxe Edition (2CD and 3CD) – Remastered album, plus a second disc of unreleased
  companion audio. Coda will feature two companion audio discs.
• Single LP – Remastered album on 180-gram vinyl, packaged in a sleeve that replicates
  the LP’s first pressing in exacting detail. All vinyl versions of In Through The Out Door 
  will also include the water-sensitive insert that replicates the inner sleeve from the
  album’s initial release.
• Deluxe Edition Vinyl – Remastered album and unreleased companion audio on
  180-gram vinyl. Coda will feature two companion LPs.
• Digital Download – Remastered album and companion audio will both be available.
• Super Deluxe Box Set – This collection includes:
  o Remastered album on CD in vinyl replica sleeve.
  o Companion audio on CD in card wallet.
  o Remastered album on 180-gram vinyl in a sleeve replicating first pressing.
  o Companion audio on 180-gram vinyl.
  o Hi-def audio download card of all content at 96kHz/24 bit.
  o Hardbound, 72+ page book filled with rare and previously unseen photos and memorabilia.
  o High quality print of the original album cover, the first 30,000 of which will be individually numbered.

1976’s Presence, recorded over 18 days in Munich, Germany, peaked at No. 1 on both sides of the Atlantic.  The triple-platinum LP is joined by a companion audio disc with five previously unreleased, work-in-progress reference mixes including the instrumental track “10 Ribs & All/Carrot Pod Pod (Pod).”

In Through the Out Door didn’t arrive until 1979.  It, too, topped the charts in both the U.S. and U.K., and has since been certified six-times platinum.  The final album recorded before drummer John Bonham’s passing in 1980, it’s joined by a companion disc featuring an unreleased rough mix of every track from the original album, including early takes with working titles such as “The Hook” (“All My Love”), “The Epic” (“Carouselambra”), and “Blot” (“I’m Gonna Crawl”).

Coda was Led Zeppelin’s studio swan song. Released in 1982, it premiered eight previously unreleased tracks recorded between 1970 and 1978.  This platinum-selling U.S. Top 10 release will, in the spirit of the original, be joined by a host of never-before-heard recordings on two companion audio discs.  The 15 additional tracks were recorded between 1968 and 1974, including “Sugar Mama” and “Baby Come On Home” from 1968’s debut album sessions and “St. Tristan’s Sword” from the 1970 Led Zeppelin III sessions.  Much more is promised, too. Direct from the press release: “In 1972, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page took a fabled trip to India to perform with the Bombay Orchestra and now, for the first time, recordings from these sessions will be officially released with dynamic takes on ‘Friends’ and ‘Four Hands’ (‘Four Sticks’ from Led Zeppelin IV). Among the many other highlights featured here is an early version of ‘When The Levee Breaks’ from 1970 titled ‘If It Keeps On Raining’; rough mixes of ‘The Wanton Song’ and ‘In The Light,’ from the Physical Graffiti sessions at Headley Grange, the latter a different alternate version than the one included in the Physical Graffiti deluxe edition; and an instrumental mix of ‘Poor Tom’ from 1970.”
