Jimmy Page & Robert Plant No Quarter UnLEDded 2LP Vinyl Near Mint

The Holy Grail of Vinyl Records. This vinyl set is out of print & very rare.

Please Note: There is light hairline mark on side A. I did it with my fingernail today when I was taking pictures to list on eBay. Grading this as VG+ to NM. The other 3 sides are all NM to Mint. I personally cleaned all 4 sides today on my PRO-JECT - VC-S2 ALU Record Cleaning Machine. The hairline mark is more cosmetic than anything, but you may be able to pick it up during any quiet parts on side A. Please see photos for details before placing any bids. Thank you.

Please Note: There is a saw tooth cut/notch in the lower left-hand side of the album cover and inserts. This is typically known as a promo cut. The good news is that promo cuts typically come from a early press of the vinyl. The record sounds great!

Please Note: There is a corner bump in the upper right corner of the album sleeve, so I am grading the sleeve as near mint. The album sleeve is still in its original shrink wrap.

This album is protected by a Mobile Fidelity Archival Outer Clear Record Sleeve.

These records are also protected with an original master sleeve record insert from Mobile Fidelity.

No Quarter is a live album by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, both formerly of English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released by Atlantic Records on 14 October 1994. The long-awaited reunion between Jimmy Page and Robert Plant occurred on a 90-minute "UnLedded" MTV project, recorded in Morocco, Wales, and London. It was not a reunion of Led Zeppelin, however, as former bassist and keyboardist John Paul Jones was not present. In fact, Jones was not even told about the reunion by his former bandmates. He later commented that he was unhappy about Plant and Page naming the album after "No Quarter", a Led Zeppelin song which was largely his work.

In addition to acoustic numbers, the album features a reworking of Led Zeppelin classics featuring a Moroccan string band and Egyptian orchestra supplementing a core group of rock and roll musicians, along with four Middle-Eastern and Moroccan-influenced songs: "City Don't Cry", "Yallah" (or "The Truth Explodes"), "Wonderful One", and "Wah Wah".

The album was #4 on debut on the Billboard's Pop Albums chart.

Several years later, Plant reflected on the collaboration very positively:

The will and the eagerness with Unledded were fantastic and [Page] was really creative. Jimmy and I went in a room and it was back. His riffs were spectacular. To take it as far as we did, and the tour we did – it's one of the most ambitious and mind-altering experiences.

In July 2014, Guitar World placed No Quarter on their "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994" list.

All tracks are written by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, except where noted. Track 10 "Wah Wah" is an extra track not included on the original US and Canada LP, CD, and Cassette 13 track releases, but is included on most other countries releases.

For the tenth anniversary, the album was re-released with a different cover and altered track listing. "Thank You" was cut, "City Don't Cry" and "Wonderful One" appeared in substantially edited versions, and "The Rain Song" and "Wah Wah" were added. In addition, "Yallah" was retitled, and several other tracks had minor alterations to their running times.

"Gallows Pole" and "Wonderful One" were released as singles.

All songs recorded in London except "City Don't Cry", "Wah Wah" and "Yallah" recorded in Morocco; "No Quarter", "Nobody's Fault But Mine" and "When the Levee Breaks" recorded in Wales.

The songs were recorded in Marrakech, Morocco (spring 1994), on top of a waste tip at a slate quarry in Wales (17 August 1994) and in a forest in Wales; and in front of an invited audience at London Weekend Television studios over two nights in August, 1994.

Recorded on location at:

Marrakech, Maroc

Snowdonia, Wales

London, Albion

Credit must be given to Bron-Y-Aur, a small derelict cottage in South Snowdonia for painting a somewhat forgotten picture of true completeness which acted as an incentive to some of the musical statements.
