Gip Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I'm sure we would all love a release like this, with alternate versions, and studio chatter. Page has to have all of this, so will he ever put it out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAmory Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I am not so sure that a lot more material exists. Unlike the Beatles who were comfortable with a lot of press exposure around them, Zep did not have a lot of people with cameras around them. The source tapes may have some stuff there, but I do not see Jimmy Page go through all of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternate versions and studio chatter, occasionally interesting, add little to the original intent and arguably would detract from the original production. So much of this material is available in secondary markets or being traded amongt's collector's already it's doubtful demand for an official release is sufficient to make the time and effort worthwhile.
