On September 16 rock gods Led Zeppelin will re-release their BBC Sessions set featuring previously unreleased material as The Complete BBC Sessions. The new 3-CD/5-LP set includes eight never-before-issued tracks with some coming from a 1969 visit to The Beeb. Today, we have a taste of the unreleased material with the premiere of “Communication Breakdown.”

As per Rolling Stone, the “Communication Breakdown” below spans nearly five high-impact minutes more than twice the length of the studio track. It was recorded on April Fool’s Day in 1971 for broadcast on BBC, but for some reason didn’t make the cut and wasn’t aired. Guitarist Jimmy Page shows off why he’s one of the best of all-time on the track, while Robert Plant wails and the rhythm section of drummer John Bonham and bassist John Paul Jones provide a steady anchor.

Listen to “Communication Breakdown” from The Complete BBC Sessions:

Page was in charge of re-mastering the material found on The Complete BBC Sessions. Head here to pre-order in a variety of formats.
