Finally! Led Zeppelin catalog open to digital downloads
October 17th 2007 02:42
They may be one of the most influential and notorious rock bands in the history of music, but Led Zeppelin has been holding out the lead from the new world of digital music.
Well, no longer! Coinciding with their reunion concert (which sold out in around 20 minutes at astronomical prices), the band has signed a contract allowing their entire music catalog to go digital.
That's a whole lotta music... they put out 8 albums, all of which made the US Billboard Top 10 at some point in time.
'Snort!', you're snorting in contempt, 'I've already got Led Zep tracks on my computer...'
True, but those files that you're listening to are, technically, illegal. With this new agreement, you're finally free to go on iTunes and download 'Dazed and Confused' and listen to it over and over in your cubicle.
And finally, finally!, you'll be able to download a Led Zeppelin ringtone for your phone. You'll be able to serenade your fellow train-commuters with a loud, bleepy rendition of 'Black Dog', which you'll let repeat, since you love it so damn much.
Finally!
People are talking about a Led Zeppelin world tour, which will be tough work, considering the Zeppeliners are essentially geriatrics. No word on whether or not the rockers will combine the concert with an early-bird dinner, followed by some friendly hands of bridge.
