On September 7, 1968, John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant first took the stage together in Gladsaxe, Denmark. Then billed as the New Yardbirds, the band would assemble in the studio for the first time later that month to start recording their debut album as Led Zeppelin, and rock ‘n’ roll would never be the same again.

Before the band’s 50th anniversary celebration officially begins in September, Led Zeppelin will continue their reissue campaign with a new edition of their celebrated live album How The West Was Won, originally released in 2003, featuring newly remastered audio, which was done under the supervision of Jimmy Page. Details of additional Led Zeppelin 50th anniversary releases and events will be announced later this year.

How the West was Won highlights the best performances from Led Zeppelin’s legendary concerts at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena on June 25 and 27, 1972. Melded together and sequenced to replicate a single concert from beginning to end, the three-CD and four-LP collections capture the band at the height of its formidable powers. Standouts include a 25-plus minute version of “Dazed And Confused” and a 21-minute medley based around “Whole Lotta Love.” The performances also capture the band introducing songs from its then-unreleased album Houses Of The Holy, which would be released nine months later.

ENTER TO WIN A SHINS ‘WORM’S HEART’ VINYL TEST PRESSING

The Shins’ new album The Worm’s Heart is out Friday, and we have a vinyl test pressing of the album to give away to one lucky customer!

To enter the drawing, send an email* with the subject “The Shins” HERE by midnight Thursday, Jan. 25. We will draw a name at random and notify the winner on Friday, Jan. 26.

The Worm’s Heart is a complete re-work of The Shins critically acclaimed March 2017 album Heartworms. The album offers new reworked versions of the Heartworms original tracks, and the sequence is flipped as well.

When James Mercer wrote, produced and recorded the Heartworms album, he had this desire for an alternate version, an opposite version. The album’s slow songs would be flipped and re-recorded as fast songs, and vice versa. The reasoning was to showcase the versatility and strength of his songwriting, and the result is The Worm’s Heart. This ‘flipped’ collection is produced by Yuuki Matthews, Jon Sortland and James Mercer, and is a must for any fan of the Shins.

* One entry per person, NOT per email address. If you have 16 email addresses and you enter with each address, we’ll just delete 15 of them. We have the technology. To be eligible to win, you must live in the Boise metro area and be able to pick up your prize at the store.
