JIMMY PAGE Didnt Want To Rewrite History With LED ZEPPELIN Remasters Jimmy Page is keeping busy with the recent publication of his photo biography called Jimmy Page By Jimmy Page, and the ongoing LED ZEPPELIN reissue campaign. Pages deluxe remastering job on the bands fourth and fifth albums, 1971s Led Zeppelin IV and Houses Of The Holy, is coming on October 28. The Pulse Of Radio asked Page if while handling the bands classic masters while upgrading their quality, he was ever tempted to throw them back up on the board and do some minor tweaking to them. Im not into re-writing history, Im just re-presenting, he said. All of the music that you hear across the companion disc is all basically mixes from the time. I thought it was essential to have mixes from the time, because youve got the mindset, its showing the mindset of whats being done. To go to the multi-tracks and start remixing, then thats a whole different total ballgame. I wasnt into that. I really wanted something whereby totally reflected what was going on at that point of time — of the time capsule, if you like, of when these things are being recorded. Thats what the idea was of this. The Jimmy Page-remastered editions of Led Zeppelin IV and Houses Of The Holy will both be released with previously unreleased audio content in a variety of packages — including a limited edition Super Deluxe box set. Earlier this year, LED ZEPPELINs recent live set, Celebration Day, recorded during their 2007 London reunion concert, won the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album beating out releases from BLACK SABBATH, DAVID BOWIE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, NEIL YOUNG with CRAZY HORSE and KINGS OF LEON.
