    The best of the original bunch is still the frantic rockabilly charge Wearing And Tearing from the Polar Studio sessions.... What gives this new Coda its edge are versions of Four Sticks and Friends recorded in 1972 by Page and Plant in Bombay with local musicians who'd never heard a Led Zeppelin song before. [Sep 2015, p.98]

    If there is pure genius in this last set of remasters, it is in how Jimmy Page has contrived to turn Coda from a desultory selection of offcuts into an essential purchase. [Sep 2015, p.93]

    Three decades later, Coda is the unlikely closing triumph in Page's series of deluxe Zeppelin reissues: a dynamic pocket history in rarities, across three discs with 15 bonus tracks, of his band's epic-blues achievement.

    While the first disc replicates the original album, the real meat is to be found on the remaining discs.

    Coda is a great listen with a skip button close at hand.

    Like Jimmy Page’s previous deluxe remasters, these new sets are fitfully revealing, littered with extras that even obsessives will write off as fluff. But the albums’ scattered brilliance has only deepened in the past four decades. [Coda (Remastered Album): 7.5 / Coda (Deluxe Material): 7.0]

    Coda mopped up odds and sods and two new discs include Page and Plant's 1972 recordings with the Bombay Orchestra. [Sep 2015, p.121]
