If I didn’t pirate so much and have every Zep album already, I’d be pretty damned psyched about this news. Seems Page and Plant managed to settle whatever differences they had and are now agreeing to release every Led Zeppelin album online. Think it’s just coming to Apple’s iTunes? Think again. The band is planning on offering digital distribution of its music through several outlets, including Verizon Wireless who will be the sole provider of (legal) Zeppelin ringtones.
Says Jimmy Page:
“We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalogue will now be available digitally,” said guitarist Jimmy Page.
“The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain their music in whichever manner they prefer,” he said in a statement.
Raise your hand if you are psyched. I know many of us are.
Led Zeppelin to sell music online [Yahoo! News]
Already had all the CDs (well, all the real CDs, and some of the post-mortem releases), and already ripped them to MP3… But hey, it’s nice to see the music is going to be available for download, although I wish they’d opted out of the ringtone shit…
Hey Vince, do you have the Led Zeppelin DVD (2003)? Amazing….
