Description
Led Zeppelin ORIG OZ LP Houses of the holy VG+ '73 SD7255 Atlantic Hard Rock
Original OZ LP released in 1973 on Atlantic Records. Cat: SD 7255. Comes in a gatefold sleeve. Has textured lyric inner sleeve which has some light marks and is in VG+ condition. Labels have "George Chkiantz & Keith Harwood" on same line.
Houses of the Holy follows the same basic pattern as Led Zeppelin IV, but the approach is looser and more relaxed. Jimmy Page's riffs rely on ringing, folky hooks as much as they do on thundering blues-rock, giving the album a lighter, more open atmosphere. While the pseudo-reggae of "D'Yer Mak'er" and the affectionate James Brown send-up "The Crunge" suggest that the band was searching for material, they actually contribute to the musical diversity of the album. "The Rain Song" is one of Zep's finest moments, featuring a soaring string arrangement and a gentle, aching melody. "The Ocean" is just as good, starting with a heavy, funky guitar groove before slamming into an a cappella section and ending with a swinging, doo wop-flavored rave-up
Tracks : The song remains the same/ The rain song/ Over the hills and far away/ The crunge/ Dancing days/ D'yer maker/ No quarter/ The ocean.
There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record has some light scuff marks and very light scratches that cause some crackles in parts and is in VG+ condition. Gatefold sleeve has a few small surface tears around edges and is in Excellent condition.
