Sequencing the fourth album, a.k.a. Runes, IV, etc. (fantasy)

[dpat]

Enjoy with your ears, or in combo with your favorite beverage and/or herb:

SIDE ONE:
Rock and Roll
Misty Mountain Hop
The Battle of Evermore
Four Sticks
Going to California
Night Flight

SIDE TWO:
Black Dog
Stairway to Heaven
Down by the Seaside
When the Levee Breaks

* Boogie with Stu could have been saved for the Houses album, maybe as a replacement for D'yer Ma'ker

**Each side approx 26 minutes--vinyl could accommodate approx. 30 minutes per side, albeit at a lower volume -- but hey, Dylan did it with his "Desire" album, and "Dazed.." from the TSRTS soundtrack clocked in at about 27 minutes. (yeah, i know, whaddabout the track separation? ...like I said, this is fantasy!)

Interesting.  I guess that would be the real ZoSo if we played with time and Zep had no choice but to use all these songs.  It makes it more epic.

I cheated a little more when i re-imagined all eight original albums to my liking. But i tried my best to stay true to the original sides just slipping in things that would fit and augment the record as a whole. The key is making each side nearly equal in length.  And contrary to what I've read here Coda is NOT an album.

 

Here is my version of the Runes album

 

side one (approx 24 mins)

1) black dog

2) rock & roll

3) battle of evermore

4) somethin' else (BBC sessions)

5) starway to heaven

 

side two (approx 26 mins)

1) misty mountain hop

2) the rover

3) four sticks

4) going to california (reissue instrumental version)

5) when the levee breaks
