Led Zeppelin

UK first press 1979. "C" Sleeve Variant. Record plays great with minor marks. Sleeve has minor wear.
The last proper Zep album and easily their strangest. Recorded while Page was mostly out of it, so Plant and Jones took the wheel and drove straight into synth ballads, samba grooves and pub rock stompers. Half genius, half drunken pub karaoke, all worth having. Comes in the original gimmick sleeve that changed colour when you splashed water on it, which is about as late-70s as it gets. FFO: Classic rock in a silk shirt, synths gatecrashing your dad’s record collection, the sound of a band trying to keep it together with pints and keyboards. A follow up hits collection from the folk rockers who made half the 60s feel like a summer afternoon. All sunshine jangle, jug band bounce and that sweet spot where pop hooks meet a bit of beatnik scruff. It’s basically a time capsule of when radio was still charming and slightly weird. FFO: The Byrds in a better mood, Simon & Garfunkel with less homework, The Turtles after a couple of pints
