[32][33], The 19th-century rustic oil painting on the front of the album was purchased from an antique shop in Reading, Berkshire by Plant. "[63] Billboard magazine called it a "powerhouse album" that has the commercial potential of the band's previous three albums. [10] At one point, it was ranked as one of the top five best-selling albums of all time. [10][34] The painting was then juxtaposed and affixed to the internal, papered wall of a partly demolished suburban house for the photograph to be taken. As with prior albums, most of the material was written by the band, though there was one cover song, a hard rock re-interpretation of the Memphis Minnie blues song "When the Levee Breaks".

[14], After the lukewarm, if not confused and sometimes dismissive, critical reaction Led Zeppelin III had received in late 1970, Page decided that the next Led Zeppelin album would not have a title, but would instead feature four hand-drawn symbols on the inner sleeve and record label, each one chosen by the band member it represents. John Bonham’s symbol, the three interlocking rings, was picked by the drummer from the same book. It represents the trinity of mother, father and child. The symbol (upside down) also happens to be the logo for Ballantine beer. At first I wanted just one symbol on it, but then it was decided that since it was our fourth album and there were four of us, we could each choose our own symbol.”. [34], The album was released by Atlantic on 8 November 1971. During Led Zeppelin’s tour of the United Kingdom in Winter 1971, which took place shortly following the release of the album, the band visually projected the four symbols on their stage equipment. [14], "Four Sticks" took its title from Bonham playing the drum pattern that runs throughout the song with four drum sticks & Jones played analog synth. For the character from the TV series Once Upon a Time, see, (Mandolin/Guitar mix from Headley Grange), Plant knew Denny via a mutual friend, Fairport bassist. The basic backing track featured Bonham on drums, Jones on electric piano and Page on acoustic guitar. ℗ 1971 Atlantic Recording Corporation. Plant told Uncut magazine in 1995, “[F]or me to sing with Sandy Denny was great. "[27] He recalled the record company were insisting that a title had to be on the album, but held his ground, as he felt it would be an answer to critics who could not review one Led Zeppelin album without point of reference to earlier ones. [10] Jones' symbol, which he chose from Rudolf Koch's Book of Signs, is a single circle intersecting three vesica pisces (a triquetra). [13], "The Battle of Evermore" was written by Page on the mandolin, borrowed from Jones. An early version of "No Quarter" was also recorded at the sessions. Feb 26, 2017 - The four symbols on the label and inside sleeve of Led Zeppelin IV, represent (from left to right) Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, John Bonham, and Robert Plant. [79] It was also named the seventh-best album of the 1970s in a list by Pitchfork. [69] Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography described the album as "a fully realized hybrid of the folk and hard-rock directions". 2 behind There's a Riot Goin' On by Sly and the Family Stone and Music by Carole King. [75] In 2002, Spin magazine's Chuck Klosterman named it the second-greatest metal album of all time and said that it was "the most famous hard-rock album ever recorded" as well as an album that unintentionally created metal—"the origin of everything that sounds, feels, or even tastes vaguely metallic". The block of flats seen on the album is the Salisbury Tower in the Ladywood district of Birmingham. The riff was written by Page and Jones, while the a cappella section was influenced by Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well". [19] Plant later performed the track on solo tours. [10] A fifth, smaller symbol chosen by guest vocalist Sandy Denny represents her contribution to "The Battle of Evermore"; the figure, composed of three equilateral triangles, appears on the inner sleeve of the LP, serving as an asterisk. [47], The album was reissued several times throughout the 1970s, including a lilac vinyl pressing in 1978, and a box set package in 1988. [10] Plant's symbol of a feather within a circle was his own design, being based on the sign of the supposed Mu civilisation. People started to whisper about this in the late seventies. 27. Vocalist Robert Plant wrote the lyrics, and later sang portions of the song during solo concerts. [77] In 2003, the album was ranked number 66 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", then re-ranked number 69 in a 2012 revised list,[78] and re-ranked 58 in a 2020 revised list. Jimmy Page claimed that he designed his own symbol. Sometimes referred to as “Zoso”, he has explained that it was not in fact intended to be a word at all. However, it has since been discovered that the symbol has existed since at least 1557 to represent Saturn.

Feb 15, 2017 - Certainly one of Britain's greatest female folk singers, who played with the Strawbs and later Fairport Convention. But she wasn't a star yet, and it was time to change that. The idea for each member of the band to choose a personal emblem for the cover was Page’s. In an interview he gave in 1977, he recalled: “After all this crap that we’d had with the critics, I put it to everybody else that it’d be a good idea to put out something totally anonymous. [35] Page has explained that the cover of the fourth album was intended to bring out a city/country dichotomy that had initially surfaced on Led Zeppelin III, and a reminder that people should look after the Earth. [36] The album cover was among the 10 chosen by the Royal Mail for a set of "Classic Album Cover" postage stamps issued in January 2010. [27] He later said the cover was supposed to be for "other people to savour" rather than a direct statement. The song's instrumentation features acoustic guitar and mandolin playing. [14] Plant wrote the lyrics about dealing with the clash between students and police over drug possession. It represents the triad of mother, father and child, but, inverted, it also happens to be the logo for Ballantine beer. [14] Page played the guitar solo using a Fender Telecaster he had received from Jeff Beck and been his main guitar on the group's first album and early live shows. | iHeartRadio [39] The typeface for the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven", printed on the inside sleeve of the album, was Page's contribution. Highlights included "Late November", inspired by a dream and the death of Fairport band member Martin Lamble, and "Next Time Around" a cryptogram about Jackson C. Frank, one of her many portraits in song. She then turned to recording her first solo album, The North Star Grassman and the Ravens. [10] Page frequently refers to the album in interviews as "the fourth album" and "Led Zeppelin IV",[27] and Plant thinks of it as "the fourth album, that's it". Maddy Prior, Jacqui McShee, and June Tabor all give her a run for her money, but the late Sandy Denny remains the pre-eminent British folk-rock singer.
