Led Zeppelin‘s debut album was released in the US on this date. It was recorded over just 36 hours at Olympic Studios in Barnes, London, costing the band just £1,782.
Most of the tracks were performed ‘live’ in the studio, with very few overdubs added. The groundbreaking heavy rock LP spent more than a year – 71 weeks – on the UK album chart, and the blues-based quartet became one the most influential bands in rock history.
