Summary

• Led Zeppelin continues to be honored for its pivotal role in music history. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995, received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2005, and a year later was awarded with the Polar Music Prize in Stockholm.
• The deluxe editions of Coda arrived in the summer of 2015, plumped up with two full discs of outtakes. Essentially, this 2015 version of Coda is a clearinghouse for everything Page didn't include elsewhere in the series, including the III-era B-side "Hey Hey What Can I Do," the BBC session "Travelling Riverside Blues" that was later released as a single in 1990 to promote that year's four-disc box, and "Baby Come on Home," a blues from 1968 that first surfaced on the 1993 Box Set 2. The rest are unreleased cuts from throughout the band's life, with only two tracks being unheard songs: the blooze-blast of "Sugar Mama," a 1968 cut that feels like a bubblegum rough draft of "Communication Breakdown," and the III-era instrumental "St. Tristan's Sword," which has a nicely funky groove from Jones and Bonham plus dry, gnarly riffs and solos from Page. Elsewhere, the rough mixes are notably different. "Bring It on Home" sounds thin and nasty, "If It Keeps on Raining" lightens the mood of "When the Levee Breaks" by pushing up the bass and pushing down the guitars, an instrumental version of "The Wanton Song" called "Desire" highlights the song's tricky turnarounds, while the versions of "Four Hands" and "Friends" recorded with the Bombay Orchestra emphasize the group's adventure. Overall, this sprawl amounts to one of the best of the Zeppelin reissues: it touches upon every aspect that made the group restless and great. -- Barnes & Noble.
