ID no. 9008286 Title: Houses of the Holy Test Pressing Set Artist: Zeppelin, Led Product Condition: SS Cover Condition: SS Description:  This auction is for a STILL SEALED 4 Disc 45 LP Test Pressing set of the Classic Records 200gram reissue of Led Zeppelin's "House of the Holy". These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and less than 20 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value and store of value. When "Led Zeppelin IV" became a surprise hit, the group faced the challenge of creating a compelling follow-up album. "Houses of the Holy" is the result of meeting that challenge head-on. It has become one of the most lauded and biggest selling albums in rock history. Despite its accessibility and commercial sound, it is also an ambitious work that demonstrates that the band had matured beyond the initial blues-influenced quartet style that catapulted them to international fame. The group, guided by producer-guitarist Jimmy Page, started to fully expand its studio skills and vision after the success of "Led Zeppelin II". On this, their fifth outing, each member takes a turn shining in the musical spotlight, supported perfectly by the musicianship of fellow bandmates. Of course, they can still rock with the best of them, ever on the acoustic numbers! Each song is, in itself, an eclectic musical adventure: folk, Middle Eastern, blues, and even a hint of R&B/soul are all strong influences on this album. Features: The Song Remains the Same, The Rain Song, Over the Hills and Far Away, The Crunge, Dancing Days, D'yer Ma'ker, No Quarter, and The Ocean. All in all, it is an exceptional collection.
