"Led Zeppelin" is the debut album by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was released on 12 January 1969 in the United States and on 31 March in the United Kingdom by Atlantic Records. The album was recorded in September and October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London, shortly after the band's formation. It contains a mix of original material worked out in the first rehearsals, and remakes and rearrangements of contemporary blues and folk songs. The tracks were mixed by Page's childhood friend Gyln Johns, and the iconic album cover showing the Hindenburg disaster was designed by George Hardie. "Led Zeppelin" showed the group's fusion of blues and rock, and their take on the emerging hard rock sound was immediately commercially successful in both the UK and US, reaching the Top 10 on album charts in both countries, as well as several others. This was one of the first albums to be released in stereo only. Prior to this, albums had been released in separate mono and stereo versions. In 2003, VH1 named "Led Zeppelin" the 44th greatest album of all time. That same year, the album was ranked 29th on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. In 2004, the album was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. This is the ORIGINAL 1969 US Vinyl (Monarch) Pressing on the Atlantic Records label.
