"Baby Come On Home" is a soul[2] song by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was recorded during sessions for the band's debut album but remained unreleased until 1993, when it was included on the compilation Boxed Set 2. The song was also included as a bonus track on some CD editions of the band's ninth studio album Coda as included in The Complete Studio Recordings (1993) and Definitive Collection Mini LP Replica CD Boxset (2008). In 2015, the song was included on disc one of the two companion discs of the reissue of Coda.

Background
The master tape from the recording session went missing for a number of years and allegedly turned up in a refuse bin outside Olympic Studios, following renovations in 1991.[3] It was mixed by Mike Fraser for a much-belated release in 1993, with a single to promote the Boxed Set 2.
The song was originally recorded under the title "Tribute to Bert Berns", in honour of the American songwriter, producer, and friend of Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page, who had died in December 1967.[3] The composition is credited to Page, Plant, and Berns, who had written a song of the same title, variations of which were recorded by Hoagy Lands and Solomon Burke in 1964 and 1965.
On this track, Jimmy Page played guitar through a Leslie speaker and John Paul Jones played piano and a Hammond organ.[3]
