Classic rock band finally releases albums digitally

Beginning November 13 people subscribing to any number of online digital music retailers will be able to purchase the entire collection of veteran rockers Led Zeppelin.

Guitarist Jimmy Page announced that, "We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalogue will now be available digitally. The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain their music in whichever manner they prefer."



To coincide with their great online release party, the group is also releasing a two CD compilation of their musical career as well as a remix of the 1973 The Song Remains the Same. As if that wasn't enough, they've apparently also reached a deal with Verizon Wireless to provide ringtones and full song downloads to the masses.

  These guys are about 8 years too late. First Led Zeppelin discography I downloaded was back in 2000. Was in 320 bitrate, and had covers, videos and concerts.
  
  Yawn..

  The new version of 'The Song Remains the Same' (with the complete set instead of the partial one in the original movie) is something I'm really looking forward to.
  
  I've heard there's been a lot of cleaning up & remastering done on the new material too.
  
  Personally I'm looking forward to Nov.
  
  Zeppelin rule.
  Always have and always will.
  They are the rock band all aspire to.
