No pre-order links yet, but at least Smiff won't have to worry about me stealing this one.
I'll get my own on this one.
Quote:
Jimmy Page recently said he's heading back into Led Zeppelin's vaults for the band's 50th anniversary next year, and he noted there will be some previously unheard music to help celebrate.
In a new 50-minute video for the Academy of Achievement, Page was asked about Zeppelin's golden anniversary next year, and he said, “There’ll be Led Zeppelin product coming out, for sure, that people haven’t heard, because I’m working on that. Next year will be the 50th year, so there’s all manner of surprises coming out.”
You can watch the video above.
Page remastered the band's catalog for a series of expanded reissues that wrapped up in 2015. All nine Led Zeppelin studio albums, including 1982's leftovers set Coda, came with bonus discs that collected outtakes and other previously unreleased music from the era. An expanded edition of The Complete BBC Sessions followed in 2016.
At the time the remastered reissues came out, Page said that pretty much all of the band's studio outtakes were collected on the bonus discs, but there's definitely some still available (like the epic long version of "All My Love").
In October, Led Zeppelin News reported that engineer John Davis, who worked with Page on the remasters, posted a Facebook update that said: "Today I am mostly mastering Led Zeppelin." The post was deleted, but as Led Zeppelin News notes, the Page interview was filmed on Oct. 19, shortly before Davis' post, so when the guitarist says "I'm working on that," it could refer to unearthed music he's remastering with Davis.
Right now, it's unclear whether these previously unheard Led Zeppelin tracks will be more studio leftovers, like the majority of the bonus cuts found on the 2014-15 remasters, or live songs, since there's likely plenty of unreleased concert recordings in the band's vaults.

I don't have high hopes for this. I was happy with the deluxe version of the first album and a handful of tracks on the others, but alternate mixes are just not that interesting to me (with the exception of The Beatles). Live shows would be great and sufficiently different studio tracks would be as well.

No, but they were re-inventive live of their own stuff and did cover of many blues tracks. Having the blessing to see them live during their peak time I can attest. The boots document this as well. I am hoping for great finds here.
Sadly Jimi Page stated many years back that he was robbed (at his home) of many of his archive concert tapes. Let's hope some can be returned for these reissues if live recordings are to be.

Renny, your Led Zep collection is identical to mine.

I would just add the set called How The West Was Won and you would have basically a great Led Zep collection. I was shocked how good How The West is when I first heard it.

You see, that's what I am saying. If Jimmy can get some of those awesome recordings that we all know about and re-master with today's technology it's the best we can experience in the Here and the Now. And I say, sign me up!

Renny,
Zep did tons of covers, often doing medleys of old Rock n' Roll and Blues tunes that could stretch into 20-30 minutes long.
I have a book detailing every show they ever played and they did an insane amount of cover songs.
Most of these were their shows from 1968-73, but they still did some later on as well.
I am an enormous Zep fan and there really are very few live releases largely because the bootleggers did such a good job (Page always bought Zep boots in Japan when he was there).
I welcome anything Page comes up with.

If you're not nice
John got his wish -- the first fruits of this series will be multiple remastered configurations of How The West Was Won. Pre-order links are now in the first post. Initial details from Rhino are very light, expect updates soon.
