Led Zeppelin going digital
Led Zeppelin, one of the last major acts to resist digital distribution, are releasing their back catalogue online.
Led Zeppelin said their songs, including Communication Breakdown, Whole Lotta Love and Stairway to Heaven, will be available from online music stores Nov 13. The band is due to release a two-CD retrospective, Mothership, the same day.
"We are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalogue will now be available digitally," guitarist Jimmy Page said in a statement Monday. "The addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever manner that they prefer."
The band has signed a separate deal with Verizon Wireless to offer their songs as ringtones and downloads to mobile phones, Verizon said in a statement.
