Led Zeppelin – “Black Dog” (Alternate Mix)

Led Zeppelin IV (Super Deluxe Edition Box)

The “Super Deluxe Edition” reissue of Led Zeppelin’s iconic IV album is soon to come (October 28) and today they released a full track that will appear on that box set. The track is the heavy album opener, “Black Dog,” which sounds just a tad different from the album version that we know of today.

Guitarist, Jimmy Page told Rolling Stone: “It’s one of the powerhouse numbers that we did with an incredible riff. The version on the companion disc is a rough mix in its early stage with minimal guitar overdubs and Robert (Plant)’s original vocal. And you can hear how mean it is.”
