Description
Led Zeppelin IV is the fourth studio album by British rock band Led Zeppelin, released on November 8, 1971 by Atlantic Records. Most of the album was recorded by the musicians at the secluded Headley Grange estate in East Hampshire, using The Rolling Stones' mobile studio. The finalization of the material was carried out at the London studios Island Studios and Olympic Studios, as well as at Sunset Sound Recorders (Los Angeles) - under the direction of Jimmy Page. Work on the album took place from December 1970 to February 1971, mastering was completed in July at Trident Studios. Throughout the recording, the group had very little contact with the press, due to which rumors about its breakup were circulated in the media. Before the release of the album, Led Zeppelin actively "run in" new material on tour, visiting North America, Japan, a number of European countries between March and December 1971, as well as playing two British concert tours.
Following a New Zealand and Australian tour (during which Page and Plant made some experimental recordings with the Bombay Symphony Orchestra) in April 1972, the band began work on their fifth album, using Mick Jagger's Stargrove estate as their studio base. The general frivolous mood (which was recalled, in particular, by sound engineer Eddie Kramer) affected the quality of the first recordings and they had to be processed in studios in London and New York. In June, Led Zeppelin embarked on their eighth US tour, which ended in August.
Work on the Houses of the Holy album was completed in the summer of 1972, but, as in the previous case, the group continued to fight with the label's management for the right to issue the record to their liking for about nine months. The album cover, created by the art collective Hipgnosis, in which naked children make their way to an invisible idol on top of the Giant's Causeway, in the Irish County of Antrim, caused a predictable scandal: because of it, the album was banned in the US states belonging to to the "Bible Belt", as well as in Spain.
Houses of the Holy was released in March 1973. The track of the same name, recorded together with other songs of the disc at the same studio sessions, was not included in the album and appeared later (in the Physical Graffiti album). Experiments on mixing styles were continued here: to the basic elements (hard, heavy, blues, folk), reggae ("D'yer Mak'er", # 20 USA) and funk were added. The text of "No Quarter" again gave the press a reason for insinuations, however (despite the mention of Thor) the song was only about the feelings of the band members, who perceived each of their tours as an exit to the "warpath". The album, which was lukewarmly received by most rock critics, nevertheless topped the British and American charts.
