Template:Album ratings Led Zeppelin is a boxed set by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was the first compilation of songs by the band (not counting Coda, which some sources list as a studio album)Template:Efn and the selection and remastering of the tracks were supervised by Jimmy Page. Atlantic Records released it on 23 October 1990 in the United States[1] and on 29 October in the United Kingdom[2] on several formats: four compact discs, six vinyl records, or four cassette tapes. A 36-page booklet was also included with the release.

Background
This set contains two previously unreleased tracks and one new mix. "Travelling Riverside Blues" was recorded on 23 June 1969 at the BBC Maida Vale Studio. "White Summer/Black Mountain Side" was recorded at the Playhouse Theatre, London on 27 June 1969. The "Moby Dick/Bonzo's Montreux" mix took place at the Atlantic Synclavier Suite in New York, in May 1990. It also includes the band's only non-album B-side, "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do" of the 1970 single "Immigrant Song", previously unavailable on compact disc.
The set was released the same month as Remasters, a two-disc set containing selections from this one, plus a remastered version of "Good Times Bad Times." To differentiate between the two sets, in some markets the larger set is listed under the title The Complete Collection. To further the confusion, in both cases this is different from The Complete Studio Recordings box set released three years later, which includes all nine of the band's studio albums on ten discs, with the three extra tracks appended to Coda, along with the 1969 recording "Baby Come On Home", first released on the two-disc Led Zeppelin Boxed Set 2. The "Moby Dick/Bonzo's Montreux" mix is also included in the promotional interview album Profiled (1990). Also three years after this release, the remaining Led Zeppelin tracks not appearing on this box set were issued on Led Zeppelin Boxed Set 2.
