LED ZEPPELIN 1ST
More Info
Shortly after their first tour,
the group's eponymous first album was recorded at
London's Olympic Studios in suburban Barnes in
November 1968 and cut in thirty
hours at a cost of £1,700. Between them
they wrote six of the nine tracks. The distorted
amplification of blues and rock
was groundbreaking. The ferociously formidable sound
of the group meant that their manager, Peter Grant,
could go to the New York offices of Atlantic Records
and strike a five-year distribution deal reportedly
involving an initial payment of $200,000. What's more, under the landmark
deal, the band acquired not only total creative
control but control of jacket artwork, press ads, publicity photos,
and anything else concerning their image as well.
The band toured North America to help stimulate sales
of the initial album. 'White label' copies of
the debut album were sent out to key press reviewers,
radio programmers and sundry trend spotters.
Finally, on January 12, 1969, the album was officially
released to the public. Led
Zeppelin hit the Billboard
charts at number 99. From 99, the album jumped to 40,
then 28, and then stayed in the Top-20 for some time. It reached a high of number ten on 17 May,
and remained on the charts for a phenomenal duration of 73 consecutive weeks,
almost a year and a half.
