LEDD ZEPLIN PROFESSIONAL
Critical reception Professional ratings Review scores The main four letters CODA are from an alphabet typeface design called "Neon Slim" designed by Bernard Allum in 1978. It was also the last album cover Hipgnosis designed before disbanding in 1983. The album cover was designed by Hipgnosis, the fifth album cover the design group designed for Led Zeppelin. The 1993 compact disc edition has four additional tracks from the box sets, Led Zeppelin Boxed Set (1990) and Led Zeppelin Boxed Set 2 (1993), the previously unreleased " Travelling Riverside Blues", " White Summer/ Black Mountain Side" and the " Immigrant Song" b-side " Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" from the former and the previously unreleased " Baby Come On Home" from the latter. It was first performed live at the 1990 Silver Clef Awards Festival at Knebworth in 1990 by Plant's band with Page guesting. It was planned to be released as a promotional single to the audience at the 1979 Knebworth Festival, headlined by Led Zeppelin, but this was cancelled at the last minute. It was written as a reaction to punk, and to show that Led Zeppelin could compete with the new bands.
" Wearing and Tearing" was recorded at Polar in November 1978. It was designed as a Bonham drum showcase, which Page treated with various electronic effects, including a harmonizer. " Bonzo's Montreux" was recorded at Mountain Studios, Montreux, Switzerland in September 1976. The uptempo "Ozone Baby" and the rock'n'roll styled "Darlene" were recorded at that album's sessions at Polar Studios, Stockholm in November 1978.

Side two contains three outtakes from the band's previous album In Through the Out Door, plus a Bonham drum solo.
Crowd tracks were muted on the multi-track mixdown on this recording as with "We're Gonna Groove". The recording was edited to remove the overall "live" feel: the crowd noise as well as the beginning and ending of the song were deleted. " I Can't Quit You Baby" is taken from the same concert as "We're Gonna Groove" but was listed as a rehearsal in the original liner notes. "Walter's Walk" is a leftover from the sessions for Houses of the Holy (which took place in April and May 1972). "Poor Tom" is from sessions for Led Zeppelin III, having been recorded at Olympic Studios in June 1970. This song was used to open a number of concerts on their early 1970 tours and was originally intended to be recorded for inclusion in Led Zeppelin II. The original album notes incorrectly said that it was recorded at Morgan Studios in June 1969. " We're Gonna Groove" opens the album and came from a January 1970 concert at the Royal Albert Hall, with the guitar parts overdubbed and the original guitar part removed-this can be heard in the original Royal Albert Hall show on 9 January 1970. As John Paul Jones recalled: "Basically there wasn't a lot of Zeppelin tracks that didn't go out. We thought, "Well, if there's that much interest, then we may as well put the rest of our studio stuff out". Guitarist Jimmy Page explained that part of the reasoning for the album's release related to the popularity of unofficial Led Zeppelin recordings which continued to be circulated by fans: " Coda was released, basically, because there was so much bootleg stuff out. According to Martin Popoff, "there's conjecture that Jimmy called 'We're Gonna Groove' a studio track and 'I Can't Quit You Baby' a rehearsal track because Swan Song owed Atlantic one more studio album specifically." Atlantic counted the release as a studio album, as Swan Song had owed the label a final studio album from the band.
The album was a collection of eight tracks spanning the length of Zeppelin's twelve-year history. It cleared away nearly all of the leftover tracks from the various studio sessions of the 1960s and 1970s. The fifth Swan Song Records album for the band, Coda was released to honour contractual commitments to Atlantic Records and also to cover tax demands on previous monies earned. The word coda, meaning a passage that ends a musical piece following the main body, was therefore chosen as the title. It was released on 19 November 1982, almost two years after the group had officially disbanded following the death of drummer John Bonham. The album is a collection of rejected tracks from various sessions during Led Zeppelin's twelve-year career. 9 January 1970 – 21 November 1978, overdubs 1981Ĭoda is the first compilation album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin.
