Album Notes
Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant (vocals, harmonica); Jimmy Page (electric, acoustic & 12-string guitar, mandolin); John Paul Jones (bass, keyboards); John Bonham (drums, percussion). Additional personnel: Sandy Denny (vocals); Ian Stewart (piano).Recorded at Headley, Grange, Hampshire, Island Studios, London, England; Sunset Sound, Los Angeles, California.Digitally remastered by Jimmy Page & George Marino.LED ZEPPELIN IV is the definitive Led Zeppelin recording. It was on LED ZEPPELIN IV that the band's sound and concept, Plant's vocals, and Page's arranging skills finally crystallized into something completely distinct and original. The earthy hedonism of their earlier work was deepened and extended on rockers like "Black Dog," "Rock And Roll" and "Misty Mountain Hop." Their interest in traditional folk music (and a more tender form of sentiment) found fresh expression on "Going To California" and "The Battle Of Evermore" (with Sandy Denny of Fairport Convention). And "When The Levee Breaks" was yet another powerhouse blues.LED ZEPPELIN IV was also the recording which produced Led Zeppelin's most celebrated composition, "Stairway To Heaven". From its familiar opening chord progression, the song steadily grows in intensity, reflecting Led Zeppelin's growing interest in metaphysical imagery, gradually transforming itself from a folkish ballad into a rocking anthem.

This is Led Zep at their best. Full of classics. Even Stairway still sounds good after hearing it a thousand times

  Led Zep brilliance!! A must have for any collection.
Review created: 03/04/08

Goin to California is one of my favourite tracks on the record it is a must have record for any collection. I decided to buy this after hearing it on Zane Lowes Masterpieces and then i happened to watch a dvd of Zep in action and a few of the tracks stuck in my head, subesquently i bought the record. You have got the well known stuff like Stairway to Heaven and then the likes of When the Levee breaks, it's all good stuff!!!!
