With over 200 million albums sold worldwide, their catalog is one of the most enduring bodies of musical composition to come out of the 20th century, and it has influenced countless bands along the way. They had the biggest tours; the biggest sound; the biggest record sales; the biggest reputation. Quite simply Led Zeppelin was the ultimate rock band.

Originally released in 1976, The Song Remains The Same soundtrack album of the concert film features songs from the band’s three-night stint at Madison Square Garden in July 1973. On November 19th, The Song Remains The Same soundtrack gets the deluxe reissue treatment, with the band members overseeing the remixing and remastering of the original release. The new version of the soundtrack includes six songs that were not on the original release — 'Black Dog', 'Over The Hills And Far Away', 'Misty Mountain Hop', 'Since I’ve Been Loving You', 'The Ocean', and 'Heartbreaker', plus new liner notes by Academy Award-winning director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous).

Slated for a simultaneous release, Warner Home Video debuts brand-new DVD editions of The Song Remains The Same, now for the first time with all 14 songs from the original concert. The DVD features newly remixed and remastered sound, 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound, and boasts more than 40 minutes of added bonus material*, including never-before-released performance footage of 'Over The Hills And Far Away' and 'Celebration Day'; plus performances of 'Misty Mountain Hop' and 'The Ocean'; a rare 1976 BBC interview with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page; vintage TV footage from the Drake Hotel robbery during the New York concert stand; and a Cameron Crowe radio show. The discs will be available as follows:

-- Deluxe Edition DVD
-- Deluxe Edition HD DVD and Blu-ray
-- Limited Collector’s Edition – 2-disc set includes collectible vintage T-shirt with original album artwork design, soundtrack CD, lobby cards, reproductions of original premiere invites, tour schedule, and more
“We have revisited The Song Remains The Same,” says Jimmy Page, “and can now offer the complete set as played at Madison Square Garden. This differs substantially from the original soundtrack released in 1976, and highlights the technical prowess of Kevin Shirley, who worked with us on How The West Was Won. When it comes to The Song Remains The Same, the expansion of the DVD and soundtrack are as good as it gets on the Led Zeppelin wish list.”

Disc One - 'Rock And Roll', 'Celebration Day', 'Black Dog (including Bring It On Home)'*, 'Over The Hills'*, 'Misty Mountain Hop'*, 'Since I’ve Been Loving You'*, 'No Quarter', 'The Song Remains The Same', 'Rain Song', 'The Ocean'*
