Vanilla Fudge release remastered version of Led Zeppelin’s ‘Rock & Roll’

Vanilla Fudge

 

Golden Robot Records recently announced the signing of the legendary Vanilla Fudge. To celebrate this announcement, Vanilla Fudge released a remastered version of their cover of Led Zeppelin‘s ‘Immigrant Song’ and accompanying video.

Now it’s another Zep classic ‘Rock and Roll‘ which gets the Fudge treatment and has now been released on all platforms.

‘Rock and Roll’ is without doubt one of the greatest rock tracks of all time, performed by one of the greatest Rock Bands of all time Led Zeppelin! Vanilla Fudge add their own slant to the track, adding a little soul vibe and some amazing organ interludes. This version definitely has a life and identity of its own.

Vanilla Fudge was one of the first American groups to infuse psychedelia into heavy rock sound to create “psychedelic symphonic rock” an eclectic genre which would, among its many offshoots, eventually morph into heavy metal.

Although, at first, the band did not record original material, they were best known for their dramatic heavy, slowed-down arrangements of contemporary pop songs which they developed into works of epic proportion.

Vanilla Fudge celebrated their 50-Year Anniversary in 2017 and is still rocking the world as hard as ever.
