Led Zeppelin IV - 2014 European Atlantic label 8-track LP Reissue

2014 reissue of the British Rock quartet's hard rocking masterpiece - their fourth studio album, originally released in 1971 encompassing folk, pure rock & roll, and blues... PopMatters journalist AJ Ramirez regarded it as one of the greatest heavy metal albums ever  - while Chuck Eddy named it the number one metal album of all time in his 1991 book Stairway to Hell: The 500 Best Heavy Metal Albums in the Universe.

Although the album was released without a title, it is commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV. Produced by guitarist Jimmy Page, it was recorded between December 1970 and March 1971 at several locations, most prominently the Victorian house Headley Grange in Headley, Hampshire, England. The band was joined by some guest musicians, such as Fairport Convention vocalist Sandy Denny on "The Battle of Evermore", and Rolling Stones pianist Ian Stewart on "Rock and Roll". 

Zep IV features the thuderous single hit "Rock and Roll" backed by "Four Sticks" as well as "Black Dog" backed by "Misty Mountain Hop"... also featuring the stone cold classic 'Stairway To Heaven'

The 2014 is remastered and produced by Jimmy Page - pressed onto 180 gram vinyl - deliverd in a gatefold åpicture cover featuring the original artwork.
