Led Zeppelin fans will have a lot to celebrate this fall thanks to the release of three new titles in multiple configurations. First up on Nov. 13 via Atlantic/Rhino is a two-disc, 24-track best-of, "Mothership." A deluxe reissue of the soundtrack to the 1976 concert film "The Song Remains the Same" with previously unreleased material and a new DVD edition of that movie will arrive Nov. 20 via Atlantic/Rhino and Warner Home Video, respectively.

"Mothership," tracks for which were chosen by surviving members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, represents all eight of the band\'s studio albums. In addition to a two-disc set, the album will also be available in both "deluxe" and "collector\'s" editions with a DVD featuring varied live content from the previously released "Led Zeppelin DVD." A 4-LP vinyl package will also be sold.

As for the "The Song Remains the Same" soundtrack, it now sports six songs not included on the original album: "Black Dog," "Over the Hills and Far Away," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Since I\'ve Been Loving You," "The Ocean" and "Heartbreaker." The album and film were recorded during a July 1973 stand at New York\'s Madison Square Garden.

"The Song Remains the Same" DVD includes all 14 songs from the original concert for the first time plus previously unreleased performances of "Over the Hills and Far Away," "Celebration Day," "The Ocean" and "Misty Mountain Hop." Rounding out the bonus items are a 1976 BBC interview with Plant and band manager Peter Grant and contemporary footage from the robbery at New York\'s Drake Hotel during the MSG run.

Beyond a standard DVD, the film will be sold in both HD DVD and Blu-ray formats, as well as a limited collector\'s edition that includes the soundtrack, a T-shirt with the original album art and reproductions of memorabilia from the era.

All the catalog activity gives further heft to rumors Plant, Page and Jones will reunite to perform at a proposed Ahmet Ertegun tribute concert this fall in London. Although no details have been announced, the group is also said to be mulling offers to tour under the Led Zeppelin name in 2008 with the late John Bonham\'s son Jason filling in on drums.

Ahmet Ertegün (July 31, 1923 – December 14, 2006) was the Turkish-American co-founder and executive of Atlantic Records, described as "one of the most significant figures in the modern recording industry" [1] . He also co-founded the New York Cosmos soccer team of the North American Soccer League.

Ahmet Zappa was named after Ertegün, who played an important role in Frank Zappa\'s early career.

song remains was probably my least favorite of the LDZ albums, but I\'ll probably still get this anyway. I have everything else though, so I don\'t see a need for mothership. Just another best of album.

25 years ago that movie made me want to play guitar.........now Tim makes me want to quit!  LOL Only kidding......Even in the steaming hot sun at captain\'s Galley Tim tore it up.  \'The "Hot For Teacher" solo was the craziest thing I\'ve ever heard.  Eddie would cream if he was there.  Look for Ken and the DVD.

I\'ll probably pick up the Song remains DVD and CD\'s. I have been missing one of the discs for years.

Don\'t need the Mothership except for collection purposes I guess.

The Song Remains the Same movie I have on VHS and DVD. But it is hard to watch. The crotch shots that dominate the movie make you need eye bleach.

The video not included in the original DVD release is on the recently released DVD so I could splice it in already if I wanted to.
