The Best of Led Zeppelin Vol.1: Early Days [CASSETTE]

Led Zeppelin remain the definitive heavy metal outfit, and that greatness is exemplified here by "Whole Lotta Love", "Dazed And Confused", "Immigrant Song", "Black Dog" and "Rock & Roll"; while their blues-based power is showcased on "When The Levee Breaks" and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". However there was always a softer side to the band, most notably on "Stairway To Heaven", but also evident on "The Battle Of Evermore", which features the late and still undervalued Sandy Denny.Mocked by the punks, and then later revered; 30 years after their debut, the sheer power of Led Zeppelin remains unparalleled, and this album acts as a perfect introduction to the phenomenon. --PatrickHumphries
