TELUS and LED ZEPPELIN today announced they have partnered to provide mobile clients with an entirely new way to access the legendary rock band's music.

TELUS will be the exclusive wireless service provider for ring tones, wallpapers, and full-song over-the-air downloads, offering clients infinite ways to personalize their mobile phones and express themselves.

Today clients can get ringtones and wallpapers while full-song downloads and videos will be available on November 13, 2007.

The band's catalogue includes such landmark songs as 'Black Dog', 'Rock and Roll', 'Kashmir', 'Communication

Breakdown', and 'Stairway To Heaven'.

"Led Zeppelin is the greatest rock band ever and their music transcends generations," said Steve Kane, President of Warner Music Canada. "We are excited to be working with a forward thinking partner like TELUS to offer the group's legendary catalogue of recordings across the entire spectrum of mobile products to longtime fans, as well as new, young fans discovering the band for the first time."

David Neale, TELUS senior vice-president of Products and Services said, "TELUS is excited to announce that for the first time in Canada, our wireless customers can get all the Led Zeppelin they want when and where they want it - only from TELUS. Today's announcement is another indication of TELUS' leadership in the Canadian music industry. Working with Warner and Led Zeppelin ensures that TELUS continues to be on the cutting-edge of mobile music."

TELUS Mobile Music delivers hundreds of thousands of hot downloadable music tracks spanning a wide variety of genres including classic rock. When the need to hear Led Zeppelin strikes, clients don't have to wait to get home to the computer - as of November 13, they can download it to their music-capable phone wherever they are throughout TELUS' digital coverage area which reaches 94 per cent of Canadians.

Led Zeppelin was formed in London in 1968 and was the highest grossing touring band of the seventies. Their concerts, often three hours in length, were legendary. With over 300 million albums sold worldwide, Led Zeppelin's boundary-shattering music remains timeless and their enormous energy undiminished. More than two decades after their last concert together, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones, will reunite for a one-off concert on November 26, 2007 in honor of Atlantic Records founder Ahmet Ertegun at London's O2 Arena.

TELUS clients can get the chance to win tickets to the concert in London, UK, by downloading Led Zeppelin content to their TELUS mobile phone between October 22 and November 5.

As announced earlier this year, Atlantic Records/Rhino Entertainment will release Mothership on November 13, a two-CD collection that spans the band's illustrious 12-year career. And, on November 20, a newly remixed and remastered The Song Remains The Same soundtrack of the concert film from the band's three-night stint at Madison Square Garden in July 1973 will include six songs that were not on the original release.
