No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded (also simply known as No Quarter) is a live album by Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, both formerly of English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released by Atlantic Records on 14 October, 1994, in the United States of America, and on Fontana Records in the United Kingdom.

Overview

The long awaited reunion between Page and Plant occurred on a 90 minute Unledded MTV project, recorded in Marrakesh, Morocco; Snowdonia, Wales, and London, which rated highly on network television. This recording was released as a music video entitled No Quarter: Jimmy Page and Robert Plant Unledded. In addition to acoustic numbers, the album features a reworking of Led Zeppelin classics, along with four Middle-Eastern and Moroccan-influenced songs: 'City Don't Cry', 'Yallah', 'Wonderful One', and 'Wah Wah'.

The album was number 4 on debut on the Billboard Music Charts|Billboard's Pop Albums chart. Upon its original 1994 release No Quarter contained 13 tracks. Several years later, it was reissued overseas, adding the previously unreleased original 'Wah Wah' as a bonus track. Upon the album's tenth anniversary, it was reissued in the US with 'Wah Wah,' plus the previously unreleased 'The Rain Song,' which took the place of 'Thank You,' which was cut from the album on this reissue. Finally, the 2004 reissue retitled the original 'Yallah' as 'The Truth Explodes.'
