This auction is for a Led Zeppelin ORIGINAL 2 LP Set Titled "The Song Remains the Same The Soundtrack From the Film", Stereo, #SS2-201, 1976 Wea Records Ltd., Swan Song, Inc. This LP contains live versions. This is a "MUST" for a Led Zeppelin Collector. The Gatefold cover contains a booklet inside the cover. The cover, records,  and booklet are all in VG condition. There are no inner sleeves. This 2-record set is just about impossible to find in this condition, especially from 1976. You will not find a better example to add to your collection unless you find it sealed. It comes from my brothers personal collection. Unfortunately, he passed away June 15, 2021. This is just one of the many albums by Led Zeppelin that I will be listing probably over the next year. His personal collection is absolutely huge! Unless he was desperate for money, he never sold any of his collection. I know you will not be disappointed! The Song Remains the Same is the live soundtrack album of the concert film of the same name by the English rock band Led Zeppelin. The soundtrack was recorded 27–29 July 1973 and released three years later on 28 September 1976 on Swan Song Records.

Overview

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 North American tour. 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 sleeve design depicts a dilapidated movie house on Old Street film studios in London, where the group rehearsed for their 1973 tour.[2]

Until the album and the film were remastered and re-released in 2007, they featured slightly different track lists:

• The soundtrack album included "Celebration Day", which did not appear in the film. The album did not include several songs featured in the film, including "Black Dog", "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".

In addition, some of the recordings featured on the album were of different performances from those in the film.

Some tracks recorded at Madison Square Garden were omitted from both the film and the soundtrack album: "Over the Hills and Far Away", "Misty Mountain Hop", "The Ocean", and "Thank You".
