HOW MANY MORE TIMES Following the staggering reunion triumph at the O2, which I was lucky enough to be at, with interest in Led Zeppelin greater than ever, with the site for the Ahmettribute.com tribute concert receiving an unbelievable 120 million hits, with 25 million people apparently registering for a Zeppelin ticket, its as good a time as any to invest in an original copy early press of this classic Zep album.
Led Zeppelin was recorded in October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London and released on Atlantic Records on 12 January 1969.
The album featured integral contributions from each of the group s four musicians and established Led Zeppelin s fusion of blues and rock.
Led Zeppelin also created a large and devoted following for the band, with their unique heavy sound endearing them to a section of the counterculture on both sides of the Atlantic.
Led Zeppelin had a fully formed, distinctive sound from the outset, as their eponymous debut illustrates.
Taking the heavy, distorted electric blues of Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, and Cream to an extreme, Zeppelin created a majestic, powerful brand of guitar rock constructed around simple, memorable riffs and lumbering rhythms.
But the key to the group s attack was shaded and textured, filled with alternating dynamics and tempos.
As Led Zeppelin proves, the group was capable of such multi-layered music from the start.
Although the extended psychedelic blues of Dazed and Confused, You Shook Me, and I Can t Quit You Baby often gather the most attention, the remainder of the album is a better indication of what would come later.
Babe I m Gonna Leave You shifts from folky verses to pummeling choruses Good Times Bad Times and How Many More Times have groovy, bluesy shuffles Your Time Is Gonna Come is an anthemic hard rocker Black Mountain Side is pure English folk and Communication Breakdown is a frenzied rocker with a nearly punkish attack.
The album brought the band exploding into the public consciousness, and marked a significant turning point in the evolution of contemporary music.
