The Song Remains the Same is the soundtrack album of the concert film of the same name by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The album was originally released in 1976, before being remastered and re-released in 2007!!!!

The recording of the album and the film took place during three nights of concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden, during the band's 1973 concert tour of the United States. All songs were recorded by Eddie Kramer using the Wally Heider Mobile Studio truck, and later mixed at Electric Lady Studios in New York and Trident Studios in London!!.

The album was released on September 28, 1976, by Swan Song Records. The sleeve design depicted a dilapidated movie house based on Old Street film studios in London, used by the group for rehearsals prior to their 1973 tour!!!

Until both the album and the film were remastered and re-released in 2007, there were significant differences between the two in terms of the songs included on each. These differences were as follows:

• The film included "Black Dog", but not "Celebration Day".
• The soundtrack album included "Celebration Day", but not "Black Dog".
• The film also included "Since I've Been Loving You", the introduction to "Heartbreaker", the instrumental "Bron-Yr-Aur" (which appeared on Physical Graffiti) and a hurdy gurdy piece called "Autumn Lake", none of which featured on the album!!!.

Of the songs that both the album and the film had in common, some of the recordings featured on the album were of different performances from those in the film. Other tracks which were recorded, but omitted from both the film and the soundtrack album, included "The Ocean" and "Misty Mountain Hop". A comprehensive study of the sources of the original album and the edits is available at The Garden Tapes!!!!

The Vinyls

Both vinyls retain their sheen from new!

On initial inspection these look awesome (like new) only in strong light or under a lamp could possibly any surfae marks be seen mainly sleeve removal marks (non audio sounding) THESE VINYLS PLAY LIKE NEW! The audio is awesome on all frequenies! Cristal clear and vibrant with (no) signs of distiortion or that this has been over played at all!! There are (no) clicks or pops and certainly (no) skips or jumps just absolutely awesome! So rare to find like this especially mid seventies pressings!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THAT I HAVE HEARD OF THIS PRESSING!

Please note! I have given my honest opinion when describing the audio quality of this album ! haveing played the vinyls through track for trak befor listing!!! I always add this disclaimer! Please allow for the odd static crackle\tick (not consistant through out the audio! Please remember that this is a genuine 32 year old abum (not a reissue) that would have been originally played on a 32 year old system!!!!! TOP! TOP! AUDIO ON ALL FREQUENCIES!!!!! THIS WILL BE HARD TO SURPASS!!!

Point to note! I have played these vinyls prior to listing at very loud volume on a top system! I have owned this album from new and this has only ever been played two times ever!!

Please note! This has been stored in a case for most of its storage life and has been laying dormant! From my experiance this would benefit from a constant clean before eah play! ,,, Build up of dirt and dust over a period causes static crackle\ticks! onstant cleaning greatly reduces this and greatly improves the audio quality!
