Release and performances


Due to space constraints, "Wearing and Tearing" was one of three songs recorded at Polar Studios which were omitted from In Through the Out Door and later released on Coda, the other two being "Ozone Baby" and "Darlene".[1] The group considered releasing it as a special commemorative single in time for their performance at the 1979 Knebworth Festival, but this plan was abandoned because of time constraints.[2] The song was never performed at Led Zeppelin concerts, but Jimmy Page and Robert Plant played it at their Knebworth reunion in 1990.[1]


Critical reception


Led Zeppelin biographer Dave Lewis sees "Wearing and Tearing" as a statement that the group could compete with the punk bands popular at the time.[1] Ted Drozdowsk commented that the song was "Proof that when it came to energy and aggression, punk rockers had nothing on the Zep."[3] In a contemporary review of Coda, Kurt Loder of Rolling Stone described "Wearing and Tearing", along with "Ozone Baby" and "Darlene", are "about as wonderful as hard rock & roll gets."[4]

«Wearing and Tearing» — песня британской рок-группы Led Zeppelin, записанная в стокгольмской студии «Polar» во время сессий к альбому In Through the Out Door[1]. Композиция стала одной из трёх песен (две остальные: «Ozone Baby» и «Darlene»), которые не попали на In Through the Out Door в связи с нехваткой места и позже были выпущены на Coda[1].
