Led Zeppelin Goes for Digital Distribution 
 

One of the last major music groups to hold out against digital distribution has decided to release their back catalog online.  On November 13, 2007, Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown," "Whole Lotta Love" and "Stairway to Heaven" will be available from online music stores.  The same day the band will release a two CD retrospective "Mothership." Guitarist, Jimmy Page, said, "we are pleased that the complete Led Zeppelin catalog will now be available digitally."  He also said, "the addition of the digital option will better enable fans to obtain our music in whichever fashion they prefer." Led Zeppelin has also signed a separate deal with Verizon Wireless.  Verizon will offer their songs as ring tones and downloads to mobile phones. The highest profile holdout for digital distribution is the Beatles.   ~*~Sandra Pianin ~*~
