The alternative take will appear on the upcoming deluxe reissue of Led Zeppelin’s 1979 studio album ‘In Through the Out Door.’

The allure of being able to move into essentially any musical style with the door for potential collaborations always open has been one of the main points which has kept Robert Plant from taking part in the full-scale Led Zeppelin reunion which guitarist Jimmy Page has been passionate to enact.

The founding guitarist recently discussed the upcoming release of the remaster of 1975’s ‘Physical Graffiti,’ which is being paired alongside seven unheard tracks and alternate takes, and noted that he feels these new offerings triumph over the originals in regards to overall sound quality.

Featuring one of the more extensive portfolios within the rock community, drummer Carmine Appice has performed and recorded with the likes of Ozzy Osbourne, Rod Stewart, Vanilla Fudge, Jeff Beck, Guitar Zeus and King Kobra, but does that make him the most qualified man to perform alongside the members of Led Zeppelin in a theoretical reunion situation?

Throughout these past several months, two of the founding forces behind one of the most dominant rock groups to ever grace the stage have remained at odds over the decision (or rather, a lack of) regarding the future of Led Zeppelin.

Robert Plant is reportedly the only member of the 2007 Led Zeppelin lineup to decline a recent reunion offer.

Robert Plant is advising Jimmy Page to forget about a Led Zeppelin reunion and move on musically.

Founding member Robert Plant has recently expressed intense frustration towards the notion of performing as part of Led Zeppelin in the future, despite previous comments which indicated the singer was open towards some form of activity with the project in 2014. Following some encouragement from guitarist Jimmy Page to reunite the band, Plant remarked that the guitarist needed “a good rest,” and even welcomed Led Zeppelin continuing with a different singer.

Guitarist Jimmy Page recently reentered the Led Zeppelin archives and emerged with “dozens of unheard studio and live recordings,” which will appear on the upcoming album reissues of the band’s nine albums. One of these previously unreleased tracks has surfaced and is now available for streaming.

Led Zeppelin has never been a band that’s devoid of controversy. From Zeppelin’s earliest days, they’ve been tagged by some as musical thieves, “borrowing” lyrics and melodies to fit their own agenda. There have been some songs that the band outright admits to being more than shade “influenced” by, such as “You Shook Me” from the 1969 debut.
