The
untitled fourth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin,
commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, was released on 8 November 1971 by
Atlantic Records. It was produced by guitarist Jimmy Page and recorded
between December 1970 and February 1971, mostly in the country house
Headley Grange. The album is notable for featuring "Stairway to Heaven",
which has been described as the band's signature song.
The informal
setting at Headley Grange inspired the band, and allowed them to try
different arrangements of material and create songs in a variety of
styles. After the band's previous album Led Zeppelin III received
lukewarm reviews from critics, they decided their fourth album would
officially be untitled, and would be represented instead by four symbols
chosen by each band member, without featuring the name or any other
details on the cover. Unlike the prior two albums, the band was joined
by some guest musicians, such as vocalist Sandy Denny on "The Battle of
Evermore", and pianist Ian Stewart on "Rock and Roll". As with prior
albums, most of the material was written by the band, though there was
one cover song, a hard rock re-interpretation of the Memphis Minnie
blues song "When the Levee Breaks".
The album was a commercial and
critical success and is Led Zeppelin's best-selling, shipping over 37
million copies worldwide. It is one of the best-selling albums in the
US, while critics have regularly placed it highly on lists of the
greatest albums of all time.
