OK, so the reunion rumor mill didn't pan out, but this is, well, something. Best way to kill time while you wait for the Beatles' catalogue to pop up on your favorite DRM-loving music store? Pay Apple for some Led standards! Guardian reports that, after a long hold-out, Zep is ready to rock on iTunes.
Veteran rockers Led Zeppelin, who have sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, are to enter the modern age and offer an album of specially selected tracks to download on the internet.
Mothership, a collection including 'Stairway to Heaven', 'Whole Lotta Love' and 'Dazed and Confused', will be available on Apple's iTunes and is the band's first venture into selling on the internet. Only the Beatles' back catalogue, along with Radiohead, remain substantial iTunes refusniks.
Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones have chosen the tracks themselves. Mothership will be available online on 12 November.
Tell your parents! Now they can enjoy copyprotected Zeppelin tunes evermore. But remember: Don't bootleg Jimmy Page's shit, or he will see you in court and straight-up testify.
