AboutChris M. Zangara Expertise I`m not only a Zeppelin collector but I have been collecting Zeppelin - and Page/Plant music & information for over 20 years. I am truly a lover of Page/Plant music in & out of Zeppelin simply because of the honesty & integrity of it all. - I have been studying them for as long as I have been listening to Rock/Blues Music. I look forward to any question and will answer the very best I can - as above all - I am just a fan like you!
Question If led zep's CODA album came out in 1982, did they produce it without John Bonham or just release it late? And if without him, who did they substitute him with? I'm pretty sure Jason Bonham wasn't good enough at that time, or old enough.
Answer Hi Ali,
CODA is a collection of songs spanning the bands career from 1969 until 1979. The songs were put together and released by Jimmy Page in 1982. The songs are all full-band Zeppelin with John Bonham on drums. If you read the inner sleeve, the songs should have dates next to them of when they were recorded.
