The soundtrack was recorded 27–29 July 1973 and released on 22 October 1976 on [[Swan Song Records]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bpi.co.uk/award/7319-2162-2|title=BPI certifications}}</ref> ==Overview== The recording of the album and the film took place during three nights of concerts at New York's Madison Square Garden, during the band's [[Led Zeppelin North American Tour 1973|1973 North American tour]]. All songs were recorded by [[Eddie Kramer]] using the [[Wally Heider]] Mobile Studio truck, and later mixed at [[Electric Lady Studios]] in New York and [[Trident Studios]] in London. The sleeve design depicts a dilapidated movie house on [[Old Street]] film studios in London, where the group rehearsed for their 1973 tour.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=SzgDAwAAQBAJ&q=dave+lewis+%27celebration%27+old+street&pg=PT167|title=Led Zeppelin: A Celebration|isbn=9780857128195|last1=Lewis|first1=Dave|date=10 April 2012|publisher=Omnibus Press }}</ref> Until the album and the film were remastered and re-released in 2007, they featured slightly different track lists: *The soundtrack album included "[[Celebration Day]]", which did not appear in the film. The album did not include several songs featured in the film, including "[[Black Dog (Led Zeppelin song)|Black Dog]]", "[[Since I've Been Loving You]]", "[[Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin song)|Heartbreaker]]", the instrumental "[[Bron-Yr-Aur (instrumental)|Bron-Yr-Aur]]" (which appeared on ''[[Physical Graffiti]]''), and a [[hurdy-gurdy]] piece called "Autumn Lake". In addition, some of the recordings featured on the album were of different performances from those in the film. Some tracks recorded at Madison Square Garden were omitted from both the film and the soundtrack album: "[[Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin song)|Over the Hills and Far Away]]", "[[Misty Mountain Hop]]", "[[The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)|The Ocean]]", and "[[Thank You (Led Zeppelin song)|Thank You]]". ==2007 reissue== The surviving band members oversaw the remixing and remastering of the original release, and ''The Song Remains the Same'' soundtrack album was reissued on CD on 20 November 2007. This coincided with the re-issue of the film, released on HD-DVD, Blu-ray and DVD. The new version of the soundtrack included six songs that were not on the original album release: "[[Black Dog (Led Zeppelin song)|Black Dog]]", "[[Over the Hills and Far Away (Led Zeppelin song)|Over the Hills and Far Away]]", "[[Misty Mountain Hop]]", "[[Since I've Been Loving You]]", "[[The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)|The Ocean]]" and "[[Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin song)|Heartbreaker]]", plus new liner notes by Cameron Crowe. With the 2007 re-release of both the album and film, the songs were synchronised so that the full set-list from the concerts was available on both, with each song mixed the same way. [[Kevin Shirley]], who worked on ''[[How the West Was Won (Led Zeppelin album)|How The West Was Won]]'', was involved in the mixing.<ref>[http://www.livedaily.com/news/13103.html "Led Zeppelin postpones reunion show"] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080907184413/http://www.livedaily.com/news/13103.html |date=7 September 2008}}, liveDaily.com, 2 November 2007.</ref> Due to legal complications, the band decided not to change the video portion of the original movie for the re-release.<ref name=crowe>Liner notes by [[Cameron Crowe]] for ''The Song Remains the Same'', reissued version, 2007.</ref> Instead, Shirley created an entirely new mix of the three 1973 Madison Square Garden concerts so that the audio portion of the film would better match the on-screen visuals. The audio on the new CD release was nearly identical to the soundtrack of the new DVD release. One difference was that the songs included on the CDs that were not featured in the original movie were included as bonus tracks on the DVD.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.modernguitars.com/archives/003887.html|title=Modern Guitar Magazine|work=modernguitars.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140411091308/http://www.modernguitars.com/archives/003887.html|archive-date=11 April 2014}}</ref> The audio mixes also differed from those found on the 2003 ''[[Led Zeppelin DVD]]''. The most obvious example is that "Black Dog" was two minutes longer on the 2003 DVD than on the 2007 releases, two of the four verses being cut from the song. On 29 July 2008, a four-LP edition of the 2007 re-issue, on 180 gram audiophile vinyl, was released. It was presented in a deluxe archival two-piece box with foil-stamping. It includes a 12-page oversized full-colour booklet with dozens of previously unpublished stills from the film, as well as four individual jackets with new and unique artwork. A special white vinyl edition was also printed in very limited numbers. Just 200 were produced, with only 100 being made available to the public from Led Zeppelin's official website. == 2018 reissue == On 7 September 2018, a newly remastered edition of ''The Song Remains the Same'' was issued in multiple formats, including a multi-disc, super deluxe boxed set, Blu-ray audio with a hi-resolution stereo and new 5.1 surround mix, 180-gram vinyl, CD, streaming and downloads, including 24-bit/96k hi-res audio files for the first time. This is based on the 2007 version of the soundtrack album and concludes the campaign of reissues of their live albums and deluxe editions of their studio albums that started in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ledzeppelin.com/|title=Led Zeppelin - Official Website | News|website=Led Zeppelin | Official Website - Official Website}}</ref> == Critical reception == {{Album reviews | rev1 = [[AllMusic]] |rev1Score = {{rating|3|5}} <ref>[{{AllMusic|class=album|id=r11466|pure_url=yes}} AllMusic Review]</ref> | rev2 = ''[[Blender (magazine)|Blender]]'' |rev2Score = {{rating|3|5}} <ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.blender.com/guide/back-catalogue/53206/song-remains-same.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821031408/http://www.blender.com/guide/back-catalogue/53206/song-remains-same.html|url-status=dead|title=Blender Magazine review|archive-date=21 August 2009}}</ref> | rev3 = [[Robert Christgau]] |rev3Score = C+ <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.robertchristgau.com/get_artist.php?name=led+zeppelin|title=Robert Christgau: CG: led zeppelin|work=robertchristgau.com}}</ref> | rev4 = ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'' |rev4score = {{Rating|3|5}} <ref>{{cite web|last=McCormick|first=Neil|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandpopmusic/10782738/Led-Zeppelins-albums-ranked-from-worst-to-best.html|title=Led Zeppelin's albums ranked from worst to best|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|date=23 April 2014|access-date=8 December 2014}}</ref> | rev5 = ''[[The Encyclopedia of Popular Music]]'' | rev5Score = {{Rating|2|5}}<ref>{{cite book|last=Larkin|first=Colin|author-link=Colin Larkin|title=The Encyclopedia of Popular Music|year=2007|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|edition=4th|isbn=978-0195313734|title-link=The Encyclopedia of Popular Music}}</ref> | rev6 = ''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]'' {{small|(2007 reissue)}} |rev6score = {{rating|4|5}} <ref>''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]'' magazine, December 2007, p. 83.</ref> |rev7 = [[MusicHound]] |rev7score = 2/5 <ref>{{cite book|editor-last1=Graff|editor-first1=Gary|editor-last2=Durchholz|editor-first2=Daniel|title=MusicHound Rock: The Essential Album Guide|publisher=Visible Ink Press|location=Farmington Hills, MI|year=1999|isbn=1-57859-061-2|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781578590612/page/662 662]|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781578590612/page/662}}</ref> | rev8 = ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]'' |rev8Score = {{rating|2|5}} <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.q4music.com/nav?page=q4music.review.redirect&fixture_review=131065&resource=131065&fixture_artist=144739|title=Q Magazine – Music news & reviews, music videos, band pictures & interviewsQ Magazine|work=q4music.com}}</ref> | rev9 = ''[[Record Collector]]'' {{small|(2007 reissue)}} |rev9Score = {{rating|4|5}} <ref>{{cite web|url=http://recordcollectormag.com/reviews/the-song-remains-the-same-special-edition |author=Staunton, Terry|title=Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains the Same (R1976)|work=[[Uncut magazine|Uncut]]|date=2007|access-date=8 December 2014}}</ref> | rev10 = ''[[The Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'' |rev10score = {{Rating|2|5}} <ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/led-zeppelin/albumguide |title=Led Zeppelin: Album Guide |publisher=[[Rolling Stone|rollingstone.com]] |access-date=8 December 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140301030118/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/artists/led-zeppelin/albumguide |archive-date=1 March 2014}}</ref> | rev11 = ''[[Uncut magazine|Uncut]]'' {{small|(2007 reissue)}} |rev11Score = {{rating|4|5}} <ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.uncut.co.uk/led-zeppelin/led-zeppelin-the-song-remains-the-same-r1976-review|author=Cavanagh, David|title=Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains the Same (R1976)|work=[[Uncut magazine|Uncut]]|date=December 2007|access-date=8 December 2014|page=93|archive-date=13 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141213114326/http://www.uncut.co.uk/led-zeppelin/led-zeppelin-the-song-remains-the-same-r1976-review|url-status=dead}}</ref><!-- Please note: the online version mistakenly gives this a rating of 4/10, i.e. in Uncut's newer (points) system, when in fact the magazine still used a star rating system, of max. 5 stars (per Wikipedia:WikiProject_Albums/Sources).

In a review published in ''[[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]'' magazine in December 2007 James McNair gave the album four out of five stars,<ref name=McNair>McNair, James, "Vanity Fair!", ''[[Mojo magazine]]'', December 2007, p. 83.</ref> as did David Cavanagh in ''[[Uncut (magazine)|Uncut]]'' magazine, who wrote: {{quote|The sound is vastly improved, as is the playing of the musicians (due to digital re-editing of the three MSG concerts, presumably).
