LED ZEPPELINS' 1st FOUR ALBUMS
1.)
LED ZEPPELINReleased: January 12, 1969
Produced by Jimmy Page
Recorded in October 1968 : Olympic Studios, London
01 Good Times Bad Times 02. Babe I'm Gonna Leave You 03. You Shook Me 04. Dazed And Confused 05. Your Time Is Gonna Come 06. Black Mountain Side 07. Communication Breakdown 08. I Can't Quit You Baby 09.
How Many More Times
The first reviews of the album were surprisingly skeptical. It was a time of "supergroups," of furiously-hyped bands who could barely cut it, and Led Zeppelin initially found themselves fighting upstream to prove their authenticity. A critical drubbing by Rolling Stone would remain painful for years. Manager Peter Grant had a game plan. He'd avoided releasing any singles, and had studiously booked the group into key hotspots for progressive music. This group would not compete on AM radio with Gary Puckett or the Fifth Dimension. Led Zeppelin was more about an entire album. It would be a private experience, a word-of-mouth affair, something to be passed between friends like a good joint.

LED ZEPPELIN IIReleased: October 22, 1969
Produced by Jimmy Page
Mixed at A&R Studios, NY
01. Whole Lotta Love 02. What Is And What Should Never Be 03. The Lemon Song 04. Thank You 05. Heartbreaker 06. Living Loving Maid (She's Just A Woman) 07. Ramble On 08. Moby Dick 09.
Bring It On Home
Led Zeppelin II was largely written and recorded on the road, no small feat considering the pace of their touring. The album sported more of a band personality—they were getting to know each other—and Plant had honed his vocal approach. "Whole Lotta Love," the explosive first single from the album, would be the first big hit.

LED ZEPPELIN IIIReleased: October 5, 1970
Produced by Jimmy Page
Recorded at: Headley Grange, Olympic & Island Studios
01. Immigrant Song 02. Friends 03. Celebration Day 04. Since I've Been Loving You 05. Out On The Tiles 06. Gallows Pole 07. Tangerine 08. That's The Way 09. Bron-Y-Aur Stomp 10.
Hats Off To
Led Zeppelin III contained echoes of Sunset Strip, of the Byrds and the Buffalo Springfield, of-Joni Mitchell and Moby Grape. Crossbred with their essential blues foundation, this was a new direction that truly pushed the envelope of hard-rock. They were rewarded with their least-selling album yet. It didn't matter to Jimmy Page.) Harper

LED ZEPPELIN (Untitled)Released: November 8, 1971
Produced by Jimmy Page
Recorded at: Headley Grange, Olympic & Island Studios
01. Black Dog 02. Rock and Roll 03. The Battle Of Evermore 04. Stairway To Heaven 05. Misty Mountain Hop 06. Four Sticks 07. Going To California 08. When The Levee Breaks
The highlight of the album, of course, was "Stairway to Heaven." The most-played track in radio history, it began like many Zeppelin classics...on a tape from Page's home studio. Recording at Headley Grange, a converted poorhouse in Hampshire, Page first played the track to John Paul Jones. "Bonzo and Robert had gone out for the night, and I worked really hard on the thing. Jonesy and I then routined it together, and later we ran through it with the drums and everything. Robert was sitting there at the time, by the fireplace, and I believe he came up with 80% of the lyrics at that time. He was just sort of writing away and suddenly there it was....
