detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times
delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.

has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide

packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of

inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery.

THE MISPRINT LABEL
LED ZEPPELIN ALBUM IS INCREDIBLY RARE SINCE NOT ONLY THE LABEL CONTAINS
MISPRINTS, BUT SIDE 1 OF THE ALBUM IS A DIFFERENT MIX FROM THE REGULAR
PRESSING. ALSO SIDE 2 DOES SOUND A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE STANDARD
ISSUE. THERE IS A LONG PAUSE BETWEEN BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE AND COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN , WHERE THE STANDARD ISSUE HAD NO SILENCE AT ALL. THERE IS ALSO AN UNUSUALLY LONG SILENCE BETWEEN COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWN AND I CAN T QUIT YOU BABY -- MUCH LONGER THAN WAS ON THE STANDARD ISSUE.
The running time for track 5 side 2, HOW MANY ORE TIMES is listed on back cover as 3:30 when is actually 8:30 and broken up into two tracks instead of one

Indeed, a powerful blues-rock album that came out of nowhere, from the ashes of the Yardbirds who disbanded the year beforeIn
August 1968, the Yardbirds had completely disbanded. Guitarist
Jimmy Page, The Yardbirds sole remaining member, was left with rights
to the group s name and contractual obligations for a series of concerts
in Scandinavia. For his new band, Page recruited bassist John Paul
Jones, vocalist Robert Plant and drummer John Bonham. During September
1968, the group toured Scandinavia as The New Yardbirds, performing some
old Yardbirds material as well as new songs such as Communication
Breakdown , I Can t Quit You Baby , You Shook Me , Babe I m Gonna
Leave You and How Many More Times . The month after they returned to
England, October 1968, Page changed the band s name to Led Zeppelin, and
the group entered Olympic Studios in London to record this first album.L E D Z E P P E L I N
had a fully formed, distinctive sound from the outset, as this
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 subtlety: it wasn t just an onslaught of guitar noise, it 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 an aggressive
attack. Although the album isn t as varied as some of their later
efforts, it nevertheless marked a significant turning point in the
evolution of hard rock.
