drummer John Bonham's death in 1980 ended the glorious fundamental band of hard rock, yet two years after the tragedy they decided to release this previously unreleased material from the Zeppelin archives, recorded between 1970 and 1978, showcasing the less grandiose side of music, also casting a backward glance toward their roots through compositions steeped in blues, rock'n roll, and acoustic experimentation, revealing creative freedom, stylistic diversity, and ability to maintain a distinctive musical identity even in fragmentary sketches, while the instrumental Bonzo's Montreux offers a rare glimpse into Bonham's percussive range, revealing his irreplaceable role and clearly demonstrating why legendary four-piece broke up after his death; recent European edition comes with digitally remastered sound with Jimmy Page participation
