Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
As it turned out, Led Zeppelin's infamous 1969 debut album was indicative of the decade to come--one that, fittingly, this band helped define with its decadently exaggerated, bowdlerized blues-rock. In shrieker Robert Plant, ex-Yardbird Jimmy Page found a vocalist who could match his guitar pyrotechnics, and the band pounded out its music with swaggering ferocity and Richter-scale-worthy volume. Pumping up blues classics such as Otis Rush's "I Can't Quit You Baby" and Howlin' Wolf's "How Many More Times" into near-cartoon parodies, the band also hinted at things to come with the manic "Communication Breakdown" and the lumbering set stopper "Dazed and Confused". --Billy Altman
Un Essentiel amazon.fr
Enregistré au cours de l'automne 1968, avant même que le contrat avec Atlantic n'ait été signé, Led Zeppelin I, dès sa sortie, a produit un impact considérable sur les foules. Produit par Jimmy Page lui-même, comme les albums à venir, il vaut certes par les grandes qualités du guitariste, qui maîtrise parfaitement les différentes pédales à effet, mais encore par la prodigieuse entente entre les quatre musiciens, éblouissants dans les morceaux hard comme dans ceux qui puisent aux sources du blues et du folk. "Communication Breakdown", "How Many More Times", "You Shook Me", "I Can't Quit You Baby" (deux compositions du bluesman Willie Dixon), voilà au moins quatre titres qui expliquent comment naissent les légendes. -- Philippe Margotin

Some of the best!,

This review is from: Led Zeppelin I (Audio CD)
This CD has some of the greatest material from them on it. "Your Time is Gonna Come" and "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" really showcase the bands talent. Plant's voice was great during this period too. This album ranks up there in my top favorites from Zeppelin. Definately a must have for any collection!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great,
This review is from: Led Zeppelin I (Audio CD)
Awesome CD. I love it. Zeppelin was close to perfection with this one, that's for sure. Robert Plant's vocals with Page's guitar and the rest of the band's playing forms to perfection.

The Beginning Of It All,
By The Guy "Rob" (America) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Led Zeppelin I (Audio CD)
Yeah, this is where it all began for the mighty Zeppelin, and what a great first album! It's also probably their rawest, but it's still great and you don't need to skip any tracks either. It's also amazing that they even recorded this before they actually had a record deal. "Good Times, Bad Times" is a killer opening track because it showcases every musician's talent very well. You've got great guitar work by Jimmy Page, excellent bass lines by JPJ, great drum work by Bohnam, and of course Plant's vocals are also showcased well. "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" starts out in a folksy acoustic way, then crescendoes into the full band (a precusor to "Stairway"), and another killer track. "You Shook Me" is a great workout of a Willie Dixon standard and features great guitar solos by Page, great organ solos by Jones, and pretty good harmonica by Plant, but then it transitions into "Dazed and Confused," arguably the best track on the album. You've got a classic bass riff to start it out, then you've got Page's violin bow solo in the middle, and then the guitar solo to finish it out. It provides the template for their improvisation that they did in concert, where they usually stretched it out to about 30 minutes. Another interesting note is that the Yardbirds performed this song, with different lyrics, under the title "I'm Confused", and it actually sounds pretty close to this version. "Your Time Is Gonna Come" is another stellar track beginning with an organ solo by John Paul Jones. From there, the album moves on to "Black Mountain Side," a two minute instrumental with guitar and tabla, which makes for a very eastern-sounding song. It's also similar to Bert Jansch's "Black Water Side." "Communication Breakdown" is the next track, and is a real rocker that is even better played live. "I Can't Quit You Baby" is another excellent workout of a Willie Dixon song, and really demonstrates Jimmy Page's gutiar skills (his solos are magnificent). The last track is "How Many More Times" which is another great rocker that has some great solos by Page (he also uses the violin bow again, but he didn't use it live).So all in all, this was the Big Bang that started it all for Led Zeppelin, and if you want to start a Led Zeppelin collection, you have to start here, not at Four Symbols, and not at II. You gotta start from the beginning, and work your way through the catalog.
