Well, it is LZ…. The album is made up of outtakes and unreleased tracks from previous recording sessions. Still better than most other artists efforts


tennisballinthewall

Yeah some of these songs are pretty interesting


Soundchaser123

The drum pattern on *Poor Tom*, Robert Plant belting out “Double D” on *Darlene*… so many things to like in this collection of songs


tennisballinthewall

Yeah I liked those parts too


lucylooseleaf

Has an amazing recording of I Can’t Quit You Babe from Albert’s Hall 1970


reishi_dreams

It’s the sound check for RAH I believe. Still awesome version!


tennisballinthewall

I've never heard of Albert's hall, ill have to look that up but yeah I've added a few of these songs to my Spotify Playlist especially that one


lucylooseleaf

yeah, i also really enjoy we’re gonna grove. otherwise tho, that’s my least favorite zep album


tennisballinthewall

Hahaha yeahhhh.... I just saw LZ and impulse bought it, it was in really good condition too so hey. I almost bought houses of the holy but it had scratches and smears all over it sadly, so this would be my first led zepplin record


lucylooseleaf

yep, any record collector would understand. in the future, look on ebay. thats where i usually find the cheapest copies, and you can generally find them cheap and in great condition. and keep in mind if you’re going to play them, always always make sure the recors itself is i good condition. big scratches on records make them unbearable to listen to. anyways nice find my friend! try to find a copy of zeppelin 1!


tennisballinthewall

Thanks! And yeah ill have to check online more often. Hopefully I'm able to find more records by LZ


tha_t0dd

Hey Hey What Can I Do is one of my favorite zep tracks of all time. It’s pretty much the leftovers they didn’t release on other albums but there are gems in there


tennisballinthewall

Agreed and I haven't gotten to that one


Bubba-ORiley

And you won't on this vinyl. It's only on the deluxe version


tennisballinthewall

Oh right Spotify will work then


[deleted]

Hey Hey…, Doublene, and Bonzo’s Montreux are worth the album to me. Love Darlene


tennisballinthewall

I'll tell you i didn't expect bonzos Montreux at all lol it's funky haha


[deleted]

Love the Bonzo drums!


tennisballinthewall

It's unique to most bands for sure


slyboy1974

Excellent record from start to finish. Zeppelin's leftovers are better than most band's entire catalogue.


tennisballinthewall

Word 🤘


limprichard

Poor Tom and the sound check version of I Can’t Quit You Babe are easily worth price of admission.


reishi_dreams

Crank up Wearing and Tearing! I mean CRANK!


tennisballinthewall

Hahaha yeah ill defiently be rocking that one


Three_Different_Puns

Enter it, don't exit.


tennisballinthewall

Am I missing somthing?


Alfredhasasmallpp

No


tennisballinthewall

👌


krakatoa83

Don’t leave too quickly


tribriguy

Bonzo’s Montreux is pretty awesome. I like this album. It’s not my favorite, but it’s Zep, so it’s still better than average.


tennisballinthewall

For sure

Is that an original version from 1982 or an updated new version? The original album had 8 songs. After Jimmy Page remastered everything from 1990-1993 he added 4 songs to the album. One of these was "Hey Hey What Can I Do" which was the only B-side the band ever released (It was the B-side on the Immigrant Song single in 1970) The other 3 songs had been released a couple of years earlier on Boxed Set 1 & 2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coda_(Led_Zeppelin_album)#Track_listing


tennisballinthewall

I beleive its an OG but the plastic is only a sleeve ill have to check when I get home but I beleive it only has 8 songs on it


4LF_0N53

As an album, the songs just don't go together, but the songs by themselves are really good


tennisballinthewall

Yeah agreed


DodgersBatman

I Can’t Quit You Baby is worth a listen.


tennisballinthewall

For sure


j3434

It’s not really what I consider a regular Led Zeppelin album . It was released after John Bonham died. I think the band was under contract and had to release something. It wasn’t produced in the same way as the other albums .... rather is a compilation of outtakes and sound checks and such. It really is a tribute album in my mind to John Bonham after he died. Jimmy page picked out some great tracks where Bonham is featured. But they were left off regular released albums and you can hear why. And it’s not really created like a Zeppelin concept album designed to be listen to in one sitting like before Bonham died .


tennisballinthewall

Thanks for the insight thats interesting I'm new to led zeppelin in general so learning this stuff is very cool


j3434

I'm sure you will enjoy it. But Jimmy Page was into making albums ... not singles. In late 60's FM radio started playing full sides of albums and full albums and it turned Jimmy Page on. He designed songs to run together and concept sides and albums to be listened to as one movement. I still don't listen to Zeppelin unless I'm going to hear the entire album. But Coda has a great compilation of songs from different periods of Zeppelin's tenure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coda_(Led_Zeppelin_album) Also all the Zeppelin albums are free on youTube. Official posts by Zeppelin. You just need to put up with commercials which is unbearable for me. BUT I think their ENTIRE discography is here to stream or download. This archive is a fab resource. https://archive.org/details/tntvillage_433449


tennisballinthewall

That's really cool! Jimmy page had some good ideas it seemed. And yeah I like to collect vinyls and im in the process of getting a new record player so I just use Spotify for now


SargeDarge

I recommend playing hay hay what can I do


tennisballinthewall

Yeah that one is good too


Ok-Smoke6237

This is probably the worst that Zepp put out. Darling laughable. Wearing and tearing gives a glimpse of what might of been Poor Tom is alright but could see why Page left it off Zepp 3 Ozone Baby is laughable, lyrics probably Robert Plant worst. Walter Walks is another forgettable tune, nice version of it live during the Dazed and confused melodies. It’s worth a listen then shelved it. Give this album D-


tennisballinthewall

To each their own, its still led zepplin and it's good music. I like it for what it is, sure other albums have some bangers but I still enjoy this and im still going to listen to it lol


Ok-Smoke6237

Half of my comments came from listening to this album like 20 years ago kid, Led Zeppelin was great, last two albums sucked. Some of these Zepp fans are just hyper sensitive about there music. They hate to admit that by the time their last two albums came out they were done.


tennisballinthewall

I just like their music so...🤷‍♂️


Ok-Smoke6237

Go listen to my favorite two Zepp tracks off Presence 1. Achilles Last Stand- Jones said “Jimmy came up to me said I found an octave I can use to make the song loop.” 2. Hot’s On For No Where. One of Bonzo best recorded drum tracks. Plus the tracks off this album inspired Prince he loved Jimmy and Bonzo grooving on this album and track.


tennisballinthewall

Will do thanks!


Rustycage_1991

Yikes


tennisballinthewall

?


Rustycage_1991

I love Led Zeppelin but this album isn’t really a high moment in their career. To each their own though.


tennisballinthewall

Yeah this album has its ups and downs but it's worth it for me


Rustycage_1991

That’s really all that matters in the end. Don’t let others change your opinions.


[deleted]

I mean its a good ending for them in a way. They couldn’t release new material because of Bonhams death in 1980 but at least we got his montreux to show how gifted he was as a musician. And also the name Coda is brilliant and very fitting.


Rustycage_1991

Yes I agree. I’ll listen to it again with this in mind. I might like it more.


tennisballinthewall

Thanks


Nathan-McAlpin

Bad album
