Led Zeppelin - Mothership: Wikipedia Album Entry

2007 Atlantic Records
Made in the UK

Mothership is a compilation album by English rock group Led Zeppelin, released by Atlantic Records and Rhino Entertainment on November 12, 2007 in the United Kingdom, and November 13, 2007 in the United States. It was released on the same day that Led Zeppelin's entire catalog became available in digital stores, including the iTunes Store. The cover was created by artist Shepard Fairey.

The songs included were chosen by the surviving members of Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, representing all eight of the band's studio albums. In addition to a two-disc set, the album is also available in both "deluxe" and "collector's" editions with a DVD featuring varied live content from the previously released Led Zeppelin DVD. A 4-LP vinyl package was also released on 2008-08-26.

On November 8, 2007, a temporary XM radio station, XM LED was made in order to support the album. It was scheduled only to last six months, and ceased its operations on May 5, 2008.
