Zed Zeppelin into the digital age

With the release of Mothership less than a month away, Led Zeppelin has announced several big updates regarding their music and fan interaction with the band. For the first time ever, Led Zeppelin fans can purchase their music digitally through iTunes as well as ringtones. Additionally, the Led Zeppelin MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/ledzeppelin) page is now live. In support of the launch of the Led Zeppelin YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/group/ledzeppelin)
they've set-up a Led Zeppelin contest/sweepstakes with YouTube. The Grand Prize winner will receive the complete Led Zeppelin catalog and a Gibson Guitar. We want Zeppelin fans to film themselves and explain what Led Zeppelin means to them. Below are links to the contest.

Apple have announced that a special digital boxed set containing Led Zeppelin's entire discography, "The Complete Led Zeppelin," is now available for pre-order exclusively on the iTunes Store. "The Complete Led Zeppelin" is a 165-track collection of all 13 of the legendary group's albums, including the new career-spanning "Mothership" retrospective, for $99.

Led Zeppelin's "Mothership," a 24-track collection of the group's best-known songs, hand-picked by Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, is also available today for pre-order. Touching on every studio album, the collection contains defining songs including "Whole Lotta Love," "Rock and Roll" and "Kashmir." In addition to "The Complete Led Zeppelin" and "Mothership," Led Zeppelin's entire catalog of songs and albums will also be available for individual purchase and download beginning November 13.
