At its core, it's an experiment, the sound of two middle-aged musicians looking back at their groundbreaking work and finding both sustenance and inspiration there.
- Stephen Thomas Erlewine/AMG (4/5 Stars)



No Quarter is a live album by Page and Plant, both formerly of English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released by Atlantic Records on 14 October 1994. The long awaited reunion between Page and Plant occurred on a 90 minute "UnLedded" MTV project, recorded in Morocco, Wales, and London, which rated highly on network television. 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 band mates. 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, 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.

Ripping Note

This used record been in mint shape... Virtually without clicks, flat & centered. Just need a standard washing procedure and manual removal of minor clicks.
The only dissapointing was the quality of the lables... nearly unreadable. The pictures shown the real quality.


All files are inside the folders.
High resoulution files are marked as "hr", CD-compatible files as "rb".


The files are interchangeable!!!

Hope you enjoy!!!

Muito obrigado!!

Really captures the live performance in a way that my CD can only hint at. 'Since I've Been Loving You' is really the stand-out track (IMHO..). Thanks for this amazing rip.

Thank you very much.
I've always preferred their Mid East influenced stuff rather than the metal.

Thanks so much aksman, the sound is dozen better! :-)
Posted By: bertox Date: 27 Sep 2011 07:28:37
I mean the 'No Quarter' disc, not the 'CD' media particularly..

It may sound better on vinyl for sure. Most if it's an UK original!! ;)
