Warner. 2005. essential recording:Also known as the 'rune' album or Zoso because of the medieval symbols adorning the inner sleeve, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world.

Are You Experienced
: essential recording:As emblematic of its time as of its sorcerer-like creator, 1967's Are You Experienced unleashed Jimi Hendrix onto a world in the midst of such cultural and musical shakeups that it really didn't seem as 'far out' as it actually was. It wasn't just Hendrix's virtuosic skill as a pure player that was so impressive; it was, even more, the range and scope of sheer sound that he coaxed, cajoled, and ripped out of his instrument. 'Purple Haze,' 'Manic Depression,' and 'I Don't Live Today' filled ears with indelible ...

SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008. essential recording:This 1975 release came smack in the middle of a long and nearly mythic career. Physical Graffiti is the last great Led Zeppelin title, recorded before the influences of the day (synthesizers, disco) ended Zeppelin's reign as the kings of loud and sexy blues-metal. ...

Complete Studio Recordings
: :No Description AvailableNo Track Information AvailableMedia Type: CDArtist: LED ZEPPELINTitle: COMPLETE STUDIO RECORDINGSStreet Release Date: 09/28/1993DomesticGenre: ROCK/POP :As Basil Bunting wrote about Ezra Pound's Cantos, 'There are the Alps... you will have to go a long way round/if you want to avoid them.' Led Zeppelin's work is the central fact of 1970s rock & roll; in its loving homage to and shameless piracy from the blues, its glorious and wretched excess, its transformation of hippie and folk-rock graces into a foundation-shaking kaboom, and its offhanded myth-making, the band turned everything ...

Led Zeppelin 1
:Album Description:2005 Japanese standard jewel case pressing of Led Zeppelin's 1969 album. Features the same tracks and mastering as the US edition but includes an OBI and Japanese/English insert. Warner. 2005. :As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up ...

Led Zeppelin II
:Album Description:2005 Japanese standard jewel case pressing of Led Zeppelin's 1969 album. Features the same tracks and mastering as the US edition but includes an OBI and Japanese/English insert. Warner. 2005. essential recording:Riff rock had been what Jimmy Page's former band, the Yardbirds, were all about, and on Led Zeppelin's second album, released, like its predecessor, in 1969, the inventive guitarist demonstrated that he'd indeed learned his lessons well. Witness 'Whole Lotta Love,' a woozy epic based on one simple, head-banging-friendly guitar riff. Or the mock-dramatic 'Heartbreaker,' propelled by far ...

Electric Ladyland
: :\N essential recording:Bursting with ideas and energy, Jimi Hendrix's second album release of 1968 (following Axis: Bold as Love) was a double-LP set that showcased virtually everything the guitar genius had to offer: blistering blues ('Voodoo Chile'), galaxy-patrolling space jams ('1983... A Merman I Should Turn to Be'), psychedelic soul ('Crosstown Traffic'), and skyscraping rock ('Voodoo Child (Slight Return)'). In the midst of all this was even a hit song--Hendrix's remarkable reading of Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower,' featuring a series of baton-passing guitar solos, all distinct and ...

Houses of the Holy
:Album Description:Japanese-only SHM-CD (Super High Material CD) paper sleeve pressing of this absolute classic album from the Rock legends, originally released in 1973. SHM-CDs can be played on any audio player and delivers unbelievably high-quality sound. You won't believe it's the same CD! Universal. 2008. essential recording:Buoyed by the runaway commercial success of Led Zeppelin IV, Jimmy Page used this 1973 follow-up to hone his already impressive production skills, and the result was a collection sporting an impressively expansive sound. Benefiting--especially on tracks such as 'Dancing Days Are Here Again,' ...

Led Zeppelin III
:Album Description:2005 Japanese standard jewel case pressing of Led Zeppelin's 1970 album. Features the same tracks and mastering as the US edition but includes an OBI and Japanese/English insert. Warner. 2005. :After plundering the Yardbirds' legacy and Willie Dixon (among others) for their blues-riff-heavy first two albums, Jimmy Page and company surprised many listeners with the strong acoustic/folk sensibility displayed on III. Page aficionados shouldn't have been caught off guard; the guitarist had toyed with similar sensibilities and modalities during his brief tenure with the Yardbirds (most notably 'White Summer' from ...
