The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

Game Changers: Led Zeppelin II


Listen Later

In our misspent youth, almost everyone had a copy of Led Zeppelin II in their collection. And later? They also had the CD, right? Is that just us?

This week we delve into why Led Zeppelin's second record was such a game changer! We feel that the case is made here. As often happens this discussions sparks a bigger album argument inspired by a RRHOF all-time list!

We all have our "entry story" when it comes to Zeppelin. The second record brought a ton of new fans, and marked the beginning of Eddie Kramer working with Page and the boys in the studio.

As we said we'd do in the episode, here's the info we have on the studios used to record Led Zeppelin II, which was was done in multiple studios in the U.S. and the U. K., including:

  • Olympic, Morgan Studios: London, England
  • A&M, Quantum, Sunset, Mirror Sound, Mystic Studios: Los Angeles
  • Ardent Studios: Memphis, Tennessee
  • A&R, Juggy Sound, Groove, Mayfair Studios: New York City
  • R&D Studios: Vancouver, British Columbia
