DID YOU KNOW...

Having recorded more than enough songs for a single album, at one point the band considered releasing a double album, and Page even toyed with the idea of issuing the album as four separate EPs.

Three songs recorded at the fourth album sessions – Night Flight, Boogie With Stu and Down By The Seaside did not make the final cut and were held over. They were eventually released on the 1975 Physical Graffiti double album.

Black Dog, Rock And Roll, Going To California, Stairway To Heaven and Misty Mountain Hop were all regularly performed live some months before the album’s November 1971 release.

Misty Mountain Hop was covered by 4 Non Blondes on the 1995 official Led Zeppelin tribute album Encomium. The album also included a version of Four Sticks by the Rollins Band.
