BBC Sessions Is A Compilation Album Featuring Studio Sessions And A Live Concert Recorded By English Rock Group Led Zeppelin For The BBC. It Was Released On 11 November 1997 By Atlantic Records. This Was The First Release Of New Led Zeppelin Material In 15 Years. LP's 1 & 2 Consists Of Material From Four Different 1969 BBC Sessions. LP 3 & 4 Contains Most Of The 1 April 1971 Concert From The Paris Theater In London. Countless Bootlegs Of These Recordings Circulated For Years Before The Official Release. This Release Was Widely Welcomed By Led Zeppelin Fans As The First Live Release Since The Song Remains The Same In 1976. Others Have Criticized The Decision To Edit Some Of The Songs And Drop Others That Were Recorded For The BBC. Most Notable Are One Session From 1969 Which Included The Unreleased Song "Sunshine Woman " And About 7 Minutes Of The "Whole Lotta Love" Medley From 1971. Review By Stephen Thomas Erlewine AMG Led Zeppelin's BBC Sessions Were Among The Most Popular Bootleg Items Of The Rock & Roll Era Appearing On A Myriad Of Illegal Records And CDs. They Were All The More Popular Because Of The Lack Of Official Led Zeppelin Live Albums Especially Since The Song Remains The Same Failed To Capture The Essence Of The Band. For Anyone Who Hadn't Heard The Recordings The Mystique Of Zeppelin's BBC Sessions Was Somewhat Mystifying But The Official 1997 Release Of The Double-Disc BBC Sessions Offered Revelations For Any Fan Who Hadn't Yet Heard This Music. While Some Collectors Will Be Dismayed By The Slight Trimming On The "Whole Lotta Love Medley " Almost All Of The Group's Sessions Are Included Here And They Prove Why Live Zeppelin Was The Stuff Of Legend. The 1969 Sessions Recorded Shortly After The Release Of The First Album Are Fiery And Dynamic Outstripping The Studio Record For Sheer Power. Early Versions Of "You Shook Me " "Communication Breakdown " "What Is And What Should Never Be " And "Whole Lotta Love" Hit Harder Than Their Recorded Counterparts While Covers Of Sleepy John Estes' "The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair " Robert Johnson's "Travelling Riverside Blues " And Eddie Cochran's "Something Else" Are Welcome Additions To The Zeppelin Catalog Confirming Their Folk Blues And Rockabilly Roots As Well As Their Sense Of Vision. Zeppelin's Grand Vision Comes Into Sharper Relief On The Second Disc Which Is Comprised Of Their 1971 Sessions. They Still Have Their Primal Energy But They're More Adventurous Branching Out Into Folk Twisted Psychedelia And Weird Blues-Funk. Certainly BBC Sessions Is The Kind Of Album That Will Only Appeal To Fans But Anyone Who's Ever Doubted Zeppelin's Power Or Vision Will Be Set Straight With This Record. 4 LP Track Listing A1 You Shook Me 5 44 Written-By – J.B.
