On their first two albums, Led Zeppelin unleashed a relentless barrage of heavy blues and rockabilly riffs, but Led Zeppelin III provided the band with the necessary room to grow musically.
While there are still a handful of metallic rockers, III is built on a folky, acoustic foundation that gives the music extra depth.
And even the rockers aren't as straightforward as before: the galloping "Immigrant Song" is powered by Robert Plant's banshee wail, "Celebration Day" turns blues-rock inside out with a warped slide guitar riff, and "Out on the Tiles" lumbers along with a tricky, multi-part riff.
Nevertheless, the heart of the album lies on the second side, when the band delve deeply into English folk.
"Gallows Pole" updates a traditional tune with a menacing flair, and "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" is an infectious acoustic romp, while "That's the Way" and "Tangerine" are shimmering songs with graceful country flourishes.
The band hasn't left the blues behind and the twisted bottleneck blues of "Hats off to (Roy) Harper" is stunning and the epic "Since I've Been Loving You," is one of their finest original blues tracks

LABELS: EXCELLENT
Clean labels with just light/moderate spindle traces
VINYL Visual: NEAR MINT
Both surfaces are practically unmarked and shine like-new
VINYL Audio: EXCELLENT
Apart from some low-level surface on the run-ins and on the quiet beginning of ‘Tangerine’ (nothing I found in the slightest intrusive), this copy plays extremely well and sounds sensational, delivering crystal clear, deep, rich and warm sound throughout - a very, very strong EX - lovely copy
SLEEVE: EXCELLENT+
Fine example - some rub/laminate creasing (from manufacture) and (not unexpected) discolouration to the white on the extremities - the wheel is fully functional and the whole sleeve is crisp, sharp and square - all text on the spine is clear, bold and unrubbed
