without Communication Breakdown

prepared by Jimmy Page while mixing "Coda" in 1981 (no source tape available, only silver pressed bootleg)

These are the initial working tracks done by Kevin Shirley. A couple of the tracks are longer than the official release but notable here is the near complete version of Heartbreaker (until the multitrack tape runs out and thus why the track was not a part of the official set) and the inclusion of some of Plant's banter.

1st color professional video taped by Peter Whitehead crew with actual sound to be used on a possible BBC documentary. A portion of this footage has released several years ago as the footage used for the scrapped documentary. Finally, the portion of the material was used for the DVD in 2003.

2nd color professional video taped by Peter Whitehead crew with actual sound to be used on a possible BBC documentary. This is single camera shot and missing some songs.

3rd color professional video taped by Peter Whitehead with sound dubbed from "Coda" (only I Can't Quit You Baby)

Color professional video taped by Peter Whitehead crew without actual sound (sound was overdubbed from sbd instead of an original sound, available as DVD in 2003).

Master reel>1st gen TDK AD 90 x2 cassette (taped by Ile Kallio). The master reel stolen in the mid 1980s. Two transfers were made from the master before the incident and one the his copy is the basis for every copy in circulation and from which all the bootlegs are made.
