This album boasts top-notch production quality, including an all-analog recording, mastering by Bernie Grundman, and an all-star cast of studio musicians. Vanessa Fernandez covers Led Zeppelin tunes in "unplugged" acoustic arrangements.

Original Direct-To 2-Track Recording made at United Recordings (formerly known as Oceanway Studios) in Hollywood by Michael C. Ross. Dubs are made by Bernie Grundman using the Original 30 ips 1/4" 2-Track Masters. The masters are played back off of Bernie's customized and rebuilt Studer A80, then run through his EQ board, and straight into a series of Ampex ATR102 tape machines.

These Groove Note Master Quality Reel Tapes are made at 15 ips and EQ are NAB. Included are 2 Reels, a 1kHz alignment tone along with repros of the original cover art. Since the actual session masters are run to make these copies, there is a limit to the number of times this can be done. Production is limited to only 15 total copies.
Engineered by Michael C. Ross, mixing of the all-analogue album, "When the Levee Breaks" by Vanessa Fernandez, was completed at United Recordings (formerly known as Oceanway Recordings). The mixing was done in the legendary studio A with it's great sounding custom built mixing board.

All the above elements combined to create memorable and immensely satisfying versions of several well-known Led Zeppelin songs and the results are in - an album of epic musical and spectacular sonic quality!
