LED ZEPLIN ART FULL

With basic tracks recorded on Page's houseboat, the middle section of the song contained a variety of overdubbed instruments and vocals which were mixed live by Page and Kramer, making full use of stereo panning and other controls available on the desk. The arrangement also resembles the Small Faces track ' You Need Loving'. Parts of the lyrics were taken directly from Willie Dixon's ' You Need Love', which led to the group being sued for plagiarism, eventually settling out of court. ' Whole Lotta Love' was built around a five-note Page riff. Plant had his first songwriting credits on Led Zeppelin II he had been unable to have his contributions to the writing process credited for the first album because of a prior contract with CBS Records. The finished tracks reflect the evolving sound of the band and their live performances. there was one guy in charge and that was Mr. but in the end it sounded bloody marvellous. Kramer was quoted as saying, 'The famous Whole Lotta Love mix, where everything is going bananas, is a combination of Jimmy and myself just flying around on a small console twiddling every knob known to man.' Kramer later gave great credit to Page for the sound that was achieved, despite the inconsistent conditions in which it was recorded: 'We cut some of the tracks in some of the most bizarre studios you can imagine. Page and Kramer spent two days mixing the album at A&R Studios, and the album's production was entirely credited to Jimmy Page, with Eddie Kramer engineering. Page later stated, 'In other words, some of the material came out of rehearsing for the next tour and getting new material together.' ' Thank You', ' The Lemon Song' and ' Moby Dick' were overdubbed during the tour, while the mixing of ' Whole Lotta Love' and ' Heartbreaker' was also done on tour. Lead singer Robert Plant later complained that the writing, recording, and mixing sessions were done in many different locations, and criticised the writing and recording process. A more favourable set-up was Mystic Studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles with Chris Huston engineering. Some of these were ill-equipped, leading to one Vancouver studio, which had an 8-track set-up without even proper headphone facilities, being credited as 'a hut'. Recording sessions for the album took place at a wide variety of studios in the UK and US, including Olympic and Morgan Studios in London, England A&M, Quantum, Sunset, Mirror Sound and Mystic Studios in Los Angeles Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee A&R, Juggy Sound, Groove and Mayfair Studios in New York City and R&D Studios. Several songs resulted from improvisation while touring, including during the instrumental sections of ' Dazed and Confused', and were recorded mostly live in the studio. The album was written on tour, during periods of a couple of hours in between concerts, a studio was booked and the recording process begun, necessarily resulting in spontaneity and urgency, which is reflected in the sound. Each song was separately recorded, mixed and produced at various studios in the UK and North America. Led Zeppelin II was conceived during a busy period of Led Zeppelin's career from January through August 1969, when they completed four European and three American concert tours. Since its release, various writers and music critics have regularly cited Led Zeppelin II as one of the greatest and most influential albums of all time. On 15 November 1999, the album was certified 12× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales passing 12 million copies. The album's cover designer David Juniper was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Recording Package in 1970. Led Zeppelin II was a commercial success, and was the band's first album to reach number one on charts in the UK and the US. One single, ' Whole Lotta Love', was released outside of the UK (the band would release no UK singles during their career), and peaked as a top-ten single in over a dozen markets around the world. Six of the nine songs were written by the band, while the other three were reinterpretations of Chicago blues songs by Willie Dixon and Howlin' Wolf. It has been described as the band's heaviest album. The album exhibited the band's evolving musical style of blues-derived material and their guitar riff-based sound. The album's production was credited to the band's lead guitarist and songwriter Jimmy Page, and it was also Led Zeppelin's first album on which Eddie Kramer served as engineer. Recording sessions for the album took place at several locations in both the United Kingdom and North America from January to August 1969. Led Zeppelin II is the second studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 22 October 1969 in the United States and on 31 October 1969 in the United Kingdom by Atlantic Records. ' Whole Lotta Love' / ' Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman)'.
