The full soundboard recording of Led Zeppelin’s September 29, 1971 show in Osaka, Japan will reportedly be released by Japanese bootleg label Empress Valley on September 29.
Reliable Twitter user hirock posted online last week that the full soundboard recording of the show would be released on September 29.
来月の9月29日に遂にZEP『929』のリアルSBD完全版が出るようだけど、来月は生活必需品や諸々の物にまとまった額の費用が掛かるから高額ブートには勘弁してもらいたいな。
興味深いけど、生活する上で個人の趣味だけにそんなにお金使えないのが現実でしょ。— hirock (@hirock73916293) August 25, 2018
Additionally, an online bootleg sales site in Japan says that a mysterious Empress Valley release is due to be released on September 29.
The listing on the site links to this image, titled “newone,” which has been edited to add the release date below the band’s logo:
The planned full release of the September 29, 1971 show follows the release of three individual songs from the soundboard recording.
“Immigrant Song” was released in February:
That was followed by “Stairway To Heaven” and “Friends” in March:
The teaser singles have been released in elaborate CD packages with different artwork variants:

The “Immigrant Song” single had five different covers:
Led Zeppelin "移民の歌" 1971-09-29 大阪
紛れもなくマルチトラック録音からミックスされた音源。低音が強めでステレオ感は乏しいものの各パートのバランスは良好。ベースが低音の塊に埋もれがちなのが1975 SBD音源とは対照的。
