Rock’n Roll is a limited Dread Zeppelin album from 1991 available only in Japan (or import). The album contains both studio recordings and live performances. The short running time of the album hints at a promotional tool for the band in Japan.

The leaflet contains lyrics for all songs (in English), a picture of the seven band members in what looks like a Japanese city street, followed by two pages of Japanese text and finally the track listing in Japanese and English.

Of note both live songs have great sound, with the crowd cheering and band members heard talking to them, mostly on Immigrant Song where Tortelvis presents the band members.
