Hang onto your wallets

Pretty much sums it up then.

I'm kinda burnt on Zep anyway.

Nice, definitely interested in this. Although the 'unreleased/alternate versions' thing can go both ways sometimes, when bands do it... Half the tracks on those Beatles 'Anthology' comps were interesting to hear once, but not more than once (imo)

This is all very cool but will our poor wallets handle buying these classic albums all over again??

One thing that will get me bloody excited with this band is if they tour again worldwide!! That would be a once in a lifetime experience!

This is all very well man, but what about the "art work that will accompany these boxsets?
Will we be treated to some riveting examples of artistic merit?

I'm curious to find out how much of the previously officially unreleased music in these companion discs hasn't already been released in bootleg form over the years. There's already loads of decent quality Led Zep studio outtakes from every album available on various bootleg recordings. I don't care about buying the studio albums again since I already own them all, but if the companion discs have enough material on them I haven't heard before and they will be available separately from the studio albums, I might open my wallet again for the band.

The first three deluxe editions will be released on June 3rd of this year...

The extra music on the companion disc editions, seems like music I already have on various decent quality bootlegs. Looks like I won't be bothering to buy any of these.

I never buy things like this, even tho I am a Zep fan. Unreleased recordings aren't released for a reason. For completists only.
