The ''Definitive Collection of Mini-LP Replica CDs Boxed Set'' is a twelve compact disc collection of albums by England, English rock group Led Zeppelin, distributed by Atlantic Records in conjunction with Rhino Entertainment on 4 November 2008. It contains all nine of the original Led Zeppelin studio albums digitally remastered, with the inclusion of previously unreleased tracks that had surfaced on the Led Zeppelin Boxed Set, 1990 Boxed Set, on disc 12, as well as the two disc remastered edition of the film soundtrack ''The Song Remains the Same (album), The Song Remains the Same'', which also includes bonus tracks. The albums are placed in chronological order, all with miniature replica sleeves of the original vinyl releases. Previous to this boxed set, these replica CDs were only available as individual releases from Japan. A Japanese deluxe boxed set was made available initially from 10 September 2008, limited to 5,000 copies on SHM-CD format.
The miniature Record sleeve, replica sleeves have made all possible efforts to preserve the original artwork and functionality of the original vinyl releases. As such, the sleeves and CD labels only list what songs were originally released, omitting the bonus tracks from the packaging.
