Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV [180g Clear Vinyl]

Led Zeppelin's 1971 landmark Led Zeppelin IV is a masterclass in rock dynamics, and this Atlantic 75 Series clear vinyl pressing lets you feel every nuance. By this point, the band had perfected their interplay; Jimmy Page's Gibson Les Paul Standard pushed through his trusty Marshall Super Lead amp, John Bonham driving a massive Ludwig kit, and John Paul Jones anchoring everything with inventive bass and textured keys. It's the sound of a band operating at peak power, captured with stunning clarity by engineer Andy Johns.

The album kicks off with "Black Dog," built on Page's layered riffs and Robert Plant's playful call-and-response vocals, recorded with the band live in the room for that loose, swaggering feel. "Rock and Roll" is pure Bonham; his opening count-in and pounding groove are so powerful they've become a rite of passage for drummers everywhere. Then there's "Stairway to Heaven," tracked with Page's Harmony acoustic and Fender Electric XII for that delicate intro before swelling into one of the most iconic solos ever recorded. And let's not forget "When the Levee Breaks," with Bonham's legendary drum sound, captured by placing a pair of Beyer M160 ribbon mics high up in the stairwell at Headley Grange.

This 180g clear vinyl reissue brings new depth to the mix, giving Bonham's drums serious punch while keeping Page's multi-layered guitars wide and open. The Atlantic 75 Series pressing uses high-quality remastering that preserves the warmth of the original analog tapes. Housed in the classic runic "Four Symbols" sleeve, it feels like holding a piece of rock history. This is a record that belongs front and center in any vinyl collection.
