Atlantic, while still pushing for a British single releases this in the promo stage with Robert Plant approval. However he could not convince the rest of the band and we are once more left with few.

First of all, I'll explain should there be anybody still in the dark about Led Zeppelin; they didn't release any singles! Not once in their entire lifetime, they didn't trouble the singles charts until 1997 when a re-issue of 'Whole Lotta Love' gave them their first proper (purely in chart compilers terms) hit single. There were a couple of proposed singles in the early seventies, but Jimmy Page's artistic vision centered around albums and, commendably, he was a brick wall when faced with increasing record company pressure to play the commercial game! It's the existence of a handful of these proposed singles, pressed up by Atlantic in highly optimistic limited numbers that stand as proof of the way they attempted to push the 1970 biggest rock act in the traditional direction. But the 'albums - no singles' ultimately remained intact and resulted in the existence today of some of the rarest and most desirable items on serious Led Zeppelin collectors wish list. This particular copy of  'DAZED & CONFUSED' is the first I have handled in all my years of trading. I'm was lucky enough to have discovered this record in the private collection of a man who worked in the music industry - one of the lucky few to have been in the right place at the right time in order to pick up this 'never-to-be released' promo single. The one irony that does strike you though is that Led Zeppelin could very easily have been one of the biggest singles acts around! As everybody knows ‘STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN’ has been the most requested song in radio in history. You have to respect their integrity though, and somehow their music is all the more special for the artistic principles they stood by throughout their career.

BOTH are genuine Led Zeppelin rarity’s, in the kind of condition that is seriously close to perfect. Handle with care!
