Atlantic/Swan SongThe remastered reissues of Led Zeppelin‘s 2003 archival live album How the West Was Won got their release on Friday.
How the West Was Won features performances from two California concerts Led Zeppelin played at the Los Angeles Forum and Long Beach Arena, respectively, on June 25 and June 27, 1972. When it was first released in 2003, the album topped the Billboard 200 chart and went platinum.
The reissue is available as a three-CD set, a four-LP 180-gram vinyl package, and a Blu-ray Audio edition featuring multiple high-res mixes, as well as a digital download and via streaming services.
There’s also a deluxe How the West Was Won box set that includes the CDs and LPs; a DVD-Audio version of the album containing multiple mixes and a photo gallery; a download card featuring a high-res stereo mix of the record; a book boasting rare photos, memorabilia and more; and a high-quality print of the album’s original cover.
Highlights from How the West Was Won include an epic, 25-minute-plus version of “Dazed and Confused,” and a long medley built around “Whole Lotta Love.”
