JIMMY PAGE's Manager Gives LED ZEPPELIN Reissue Update

April 24, 2013

According to The Pulse Of Radio, Jimmy Page's representative, Peter Mensch of Q Prime Management, recently sat down for an "Ask Me Anything" online interview with Reddit.com and shed some light on the upcoming LED ZEPPELIN remasters. Mensch revealed, "As for the remaster box sets, Jimmy is digging through the archives for material that's never been released to the public before. Some of the reissued box sets will come out this year, but in the world of LED ZEPPELIN, time is a fungible thing. Hopefully will have a box set for 'Coda' too. Depends on what's in the archives."

When pressed by a couple of fans as to whether he thinks another ZEPPELIN reunion is in the cards, he said, "Honestly, my gut tells me they won't."

Over 30 years since ZEPPELIN's last studio album — the outtakes collection, "Coda" — was released, Jimmy Page is astounded at the reverence ZEPPELIN's fans still hold for the band. "The most satisfying, the most rewarding part of it, is having been part of music like that, which has stood up to the test of time," he told The Pulse Of Radio. "Every musician hopes that their music will hold up. And it's wonderful."

Co-founding bassist John Paul Jones told The Pulse Of Radio that band politics never came into play when the band was working up new material and said that ZEPPELIN always understood the importance of quality control. "We always made music in the same way — we all know whether something works or not," he said. "When we wrote music together, y'know, if somebody came up with an idea, if it didn't work, you didn't have to be taken to a room quietly to say, 'Y'know, we can't use this,' y'know? Everybody knows, 'Hey, this is rubbish! Y'know, [laughs] let's do something else!' And we'd go on to something that does work, and then everybody knows it works."

Out now is legendary photographer Neal Preston's digital book, "Led Zeppelin: Sound And Fury". The book features hundreds of photographs of the band, including well over 100 shots of ZEPPELIN which have never before been published, countless contact sheets, both video and printed interviews with ZEPPELIN's tour insiders, along with Preston's own personal commentary, and rare memorabilia.
