All Music Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
On their first two albums, Led Zeppelin unleashed a relentless barrage of heavy blues and rockabilly riffs, but Led Zeppelin III provided the band with the necessary room to grow musically. While there are still a handful of metallic rockers, III is built on a folky, acoustic foundation that gives the music extra depth.
And even the rockers aren't as straightforward as before: the galloping "Immigrant Song" is powered by Robert Plant's banshee wail, "Celebration Day" turns blues-rock inside out with a warped slide guitar riff, and "Out on the Tiles" lumbers along with a tricky, multi-part riff. Nevertheless, the heart of the album lies on the second side, when the band delve deeply into English folk.
"Gallows Pole" updates a traditional tune with a menacing flair, and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is an infectious acoustic romp, while "That's the Way" and "Tangerine" are shimmering songs with graceful country flourishes.
The band hasn't left the blues behind, but the twisted bottleneck blues of "Hats off to (Roy) Harper" actually outstrips the epic "Since I've Been Loving You," which is the only time Zeppelin sound a bit set in their ways.

April 2016, ROYAL MAIL ANNUAL UK POSTAGE PRICES: (some slight changes)
Those who have bought off me before know that I do not add on any extras.
My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.
LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)
BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:
If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:
i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)
Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items -
then when you’re ready for your Invoice, email to let me know & I can adjust the postage savings
THANK YOU
