BBC Sessions is a compilation album featuring studio sessions and a live concert recorded by the English rock group Led Zeppelin for the BBC. It was released on 17 November 1997, by Atlantic Records.[1] Disc one consists of material from four different 1969 BBC sessions. Disc two contains most of the 1 April 1971 concert from the Paris Theatre in London.[2] Disc three was only included in a limited run of album releases and features rare interviews from 1969, 1976/1977, and 1990.

Countless bootlegs of these recordings circulated for years before the official release. This release was widely welcomed by Led Zeppelin fans as it was the first live release since The Song Remains the Same in 1976. Others have criticized the decision to edit some of the songs and drop others that were recorded for the BBC. Most notable are one session from 1969 which included the unreleased song `Sunshine Woman`, and about seven minutes of the `Whole Lotta Love` medley from 1971.[3] The album was re-released in September 2016 as The Complete BBC Sessions with further BBC recordings, including the `Sunshine Woman` session.
