Product Description
Amazon.ca
After plundering the Yardbirds' legacy and Willie Dixon (among others) for their blues-riff-heavy first two albums, Jimmy Page and company surprised many listeners with the strong acoustic/folk sensibility displayed on III. Page aficionados shouldn't have been caught off guard; the guitarist had toyed with similar sensibilities and modalities during his brief tenure with the Yardbirds (most notably "White Summer" from the Little Games album). Ever the creative thieves, Zep kick off the album by nicking the riff from "Bali Ha'i" no less, with Robert Plant wailing it to punctuate the thundering FM warhorse "Immigrant Song." Even other electric rockers like "Celebration Day" and "Out on the Tiles" have an inventive, offbeat musicality to them that suggest the band was already wary of stereotyping. But it's the decidedly mellower acoustic groove of the album's latter half that's the news here, from the graceful beauty of "That's the Way" and "Tangerine" to the raw, folksy charm of "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp," "Hats Off (to Roy Harper)," and the traditional "Gallows Pole." --Jerry McCulley

Format:Audio CD
For a mix of classic hard rock and blues riffs (the first half of this album), balanced with some lovely acoustic rock (the second half), this collection is unique, and my favourite, in Led Zeppelin's catalogue. Great songs and a sound that's only improving with age. I only wish the III CD cover (or mp3s) gave you a fun album cover (like the vinyl did) to spin 'round.

led zeppelin was their masterpiece in a row after their hugely succesful debut and second albums.this album is great because of the presence od songs like immigrant song and a few folk rock hits.a must for your collection.very highly recommended.

Format:Audio CD
well i have listened to all the zeppelin albums and this one really stands out.. i mean dont get me wrong the rest of them are masterpieces , but this one really stands out in my opinion ,i think its also because the fact that there is an electric side to this album and then theirs an acoustic side , the acoustic side of this album is very powerful and really draws you into the album you could kind of say its the calmer side of led zeppelin but t the same time there still rockin out just as good as they always do... the A side of this album has great guitar rifts and wraps up the album to make it a masterpiece, if you dont have this zeppelin cd in your collection i highly recomand you go to the record store and buy it!... Enjoy and Respect! (=

Well, maybe I just say meh because this album is ok, but ok is not up to Led Zeppelin standards. The mini package is cool though, almost humuoris.

My First Time
Yes it was 1970 and this was the first Led Zeppelin album I had owned. There will be arguments about which was the best but for this listener the first time was the best time. Read more
