Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page has released the “original home demo” version of Ten Years Gone, a song which was later included on the band’s iconic sixth album, 1975’s Physical Graffiti.
Page uploaded the video to his official YouTube channel on March 29th ,writing in an accompanying message: “As a footnote to Physical Graffiti, I thought you might like to hear the original home demo, recorded in my studio at Plumpton Place of a piece of music that was going to surface as 10 Years Gone.
I presented this rough mix to the band at Headley Grange in order to do this for real. Robert Plant came up with some lyrics for my music that were extraordinary and then we arrive at the song 10 Years Gone.”
Last September, Led Zeppelin celebrated the 50th anniversary of Physical Graffiti with the release of Live EP on 180-gram 12″ vinyl, CD and digital formats. Also released on the same date was an updated 50th-anniversary edition of 2015’s Physical Graffiti Deluxe Edition 3LP vinyl set featuring the Companion Audio disc, now including a new bonus replica Physical Graffiti promotional poster (sized 443mm x 610mm).
The new Live EP featured live recordings of In My Time Of Dying and Trampled Under Foot from Earl’s Court, 1975, alongside Sick Again and Kashmir from Knebworth, 1979. These live performances were originally released on the 2003 Led Zeppelin DVD and appeared on CD, vinyl and digital formats for the very first time.
