Cabala is an eight compact disc and single VHS box set featuring soundboard and audience bootleg recordings of the English rock group Led Zeppelin, released by Italian label Osoz in 1995.

Overview

This is a box set that has recordings from before the formation of Led Zeppelin right through until the Knebworth Silver Clef performance in 1990. It comprises a selection of previously expensive releases into a single set. The soundboard quality is excellent and creates a retrospective of Led Zeppelin's unofficial and unreleased body of work. The packaging includes 8 compact discs in separate picture sleeves, a VHS video in PAL format, and a 120 page booklet detailing all bootlegs to date including a 'Top 50 Rarest Led Zeppelin and Related Records' list. The original 1995 release suffered from printing problems with the artwork, which included incorrect concert dates, venues, and track lengths. A corrected version of the art is available at ZeppelinArt.com. There is still considerable debate over whether Jimmy Page actually performed on the Lucifer Rising takes.
