"Coda" is an album by Led Zeppelin, made up of previously unreleased tracks recorded throughout the band's 12-year career. It was released in 1982, after the group disbanded due to the death of their drummer, John Bonham. The title "coda", which refers to the concluding portion of a musical piece, was chosen for the album.
"Coda" consists of previously unreleased tracks from various recording sessions throughout Led Zeppelin's career, and was released to fulfill contractual obligations to Atlantic Records and to pay taxes on previous earnings. The album includes eight tracks that span the duration of Led Zeppelin's career. The release of "Coda" was also influenced by the popularity of unofficial Led Zeppelin recordings being circulated among fans. The tracks on the album were recorded around the time when punk music was popular, and according to John Paul Jones, "there wasn't a lot of Zeppelin tracks that didn't go out. We used everything".
