LONDON — Led Zeppelin, one of the last major acts to resist digital distribution, is releasing its back catalog online.
Led Zeppelin said its songs, including “Communication Breakdown,” “Whole Lotta Love” and “Stairway to Heaven,” will be available from online stores Nov. 13. The band’s two-CD retrospective, “Mothership,” is due out the same day.
“We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalog will now be available digitally,” guitarist Jimmy Page said Monday. “The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever manner that they prefer.”
Led Zeppelin, which split up in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham, announced last month it would reunite for a Nov. 26 concert in London. Page, singer Robert Plant and bass player John Paul Jones will be joined by Bonham’s son Jason on drums.
