Released on June 3rd, deluxe editions of Led Zeppelin's first three albums - Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, and Led Zeppelin III - are expected to sell between 22,000 and 28,000 copies each in the United States during their first week of release, according to industry web site Hits Daily Double. The estimates were based on one-day sales reports; the chart will be unveiled on June 11th.

Led Zeppelin has launched an extensive reissue program of all nine of its studio albums in chronological order, each remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page. Led Zeppelin will also open its vaults to share dozens of unheard studio and live recordings, with each album featuring a second disc of companion audio comprised entirely of unreleased music related to that album.

Zeppelin guitar legend Jimmy Page issued the following update earlier this week: "Today sees the official release of the individual boxed contents of Led Zeppelin I, II and III with fresh vintage material to accompany each album and also heralds the release of the whole catalogue of studio albums with companion discs. With Led Zeppelin I there is a live recording from French radio of an energetic concert at the Olympia in Paris in 1969. It comprises of a double vinyl and captures the group in a transitional stage between the first album and Led Zeppelin II. The companion discs to Led Zeppelin II and III feature studio material only. These are the original mix downs from the time the albums were recorded and is a document of work in progress. All the material has been mastered using the highest state-of-the-art technology with John Davies. I hope you like the companion disc artwork."

* Single CD – Remastered album packaged in a gatefold card wallet.
