Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions

|
Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions is an album featuring, as the title suggests, BBC studio session and concert recordings of Led Zeppelin. It was released November 11, 1997 by Atlantic Records.
Disc 1 is a compilation of songs from three various BBC sessions circa 1969. Disc 2 is a 1971 concert from the Paris Theatre in London. There were countless bootlegs of these recordings circulated before the official release. This release was very welcome and long overdue, however, some material available on the bootlegs is not presented and other tracks have been edited.
