Another of those LP:s this page wouldn't be complete without and I don't have a clue what to write that would add anything to the cornucopia of info already on the net, or how to flaunt any special personal experience. But let's give it a try. I agree it is a masterpiece deserving a high position on any best rock albums list. A fine blend of quirky and common, making it at the same time both slightly odd and very catchy. I especially like the interaction between Page and Bonham, where the drums sometimes seem to be linked to the guitars rather than the bass thus creating an almost organic rhythm pattern. Have to admit I am very tired of "Stairway To Heaven" after all those years. Big lover from the start, but after getting it shoved down my ears and being constantly reminded of its greatness for decades I'm fed up. Can watch it from afar and agree it's good, but I never wanna sit through it again...ever. Happy all the other songs still work for me and then especially "When The Levee Breaks" carried by some of the most hard hit drums ever recorded, the psych rock marvel "Four Sticks" and "The Battle Of Evermore" embellished by a graceful Sandy Denny. Issued and reissued on every possible format through the years, sometimes recognized as "Untitled" or "Zoso". Premiere UK on Atlantic plum label (2401012). Not sure about the exact timeline for this US copy, but as the matrixes have "Porky" and "Pecko Duck" and all other signs coinciding with a UK 1st press it's with all certainty a UK George Peckham mastering then exported to US. It came with label as shown here in a matt fold/out cover and slightly structured inner with tracking, credits and lyrics to "Stairway To Heaven". (LÖZ*)
