I remember I've first time seen Led Zeppelin when they opened for KISS in MSG in NYC in 1979 era. They played just one song and that be: "Whole Lotta Love" with all four original members then the next year John Bonham died in 1980. So this album has good memories for me a few good songs to jam to them. It is just recommended. 👊🏻😎👍🏻🍺☀️⭐⭐⭐⭐

The CD plays fine and it's a good deal I guess but the jewel case has a big crack on the front.

A very good album, one of the greatest blends of blues and rock 'n roll I have seen. Whole Lotta' Love: The amazing start of this album, I love it. It has a very simple melody with an unique guitar solo towards the end of the song. The lyrics were inspired by some Muddy Waters song called "You Need Love," Very simple but go with the song perfectly. What Is and What Should Never Be: "If I say to you tomorrow," starts of this song, a very nice love song with some clever lyrics. The verses all have some great bass lines, then comes the chorus, a very nice transition for this sort of song. After the chorus it calms down and is back to the verses then once again this picks up, this happens one more time then a sort of outro goes, I love it, very bluesy. The Lemon Song: Probably one of Led Zeppelin's most bluesy songs, loaded with innuendo and the such, very nice riff throughout the song Thank You: The lightest song on this album, and probably the song that really convinced the rest of the band Plant could write songs, I thoroughly enjoy it. Heartbreaker: One of the advantages of the CD version of this album is the striking contrast between Heartbreaker and Thank You, a nice bluesy song, probably one of the best if not the best song on here. Living Loving Maid (She's Just a Woman): Heartbreaker goes right into this song, a bit more poppy than the rest of the songs on this album, still very good. Of all songs on this album I get this stuck in my head the most. Ramble On: A slightly more folkier song making references to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, great song. Moby Dick: This may be just one big drum solo, it may be one of the best purely instrumental pieces I have ever heard, really showcases John Bonham's style. Bring it on Home: The conclusion of this amazing album, a cover of a Willie Dixon song, the beginning sounds just about the same as the original song, then Led zeppelin kicks it up a bit, very nice.Read full review
Led Zeppelin's second studio album gives us an idea of how much we were to get from these guys over the next years. They sound young and very mischievous, especially on songs like the unbelievable "Whole Lotta Love," and the downright nasty "Lemon Song." This stuff set a new tone in heavy metal that still has an impact today. Pages rapid-fire solo on "Heartbreaker" is considered one of the best of all time. This a very entertaining CD that overflows with obvious blues and jazz influences which the musicians handle well. With Plant's girlish wailing and Bonzo's manic percussion, plus Pages speedy antics that were so fresh at the time, and Jones' settling influence on bass and keyboard, AND in the producers chair, you just can't miss with this original. I love it and give it 5/5.
THIS ALBUM FEATURES CLASSIC ECHO PLEX ON WHOLE LOTTA LOVE, TEXTURES OF 12 STRING GUITAR ON THANK YOU DONE VERY BEAUTIFUL. THE LOW PRESSING CRUDE BLUES I COULD DO WITH OUT MUSIC STANDS ON IT OWN FOR SALES. MARSHALL & LES PAUL ON BRING IT ON HOME CLASSIC TONES. THIS WORK HAS A RARE JIMMY PAGE SOLO WHICH CAN BE UNDERSTOOD NOT TO FAST JUST RIGHT UNLIKE SO MANY BLURED MEDAL SOLOS OF TODAY. GOOD FALL OF THE YEAR MUSIC WITH RAMBLE ON LEAVES ARE FALLING ALL AROUND, AN REALLY THROUGH OUT THE ALBUM INDUCES THAT FEELING. THIS IS A CLASSIC ZEP ALBUM ALONG WITH ZEPPLIN 1. GIVES THE LISTENER PURE MUSIC UNCLUTTERED BY GIZMOES AN MAKES THEM MORE ENJOYABLE TO HEAR THE ACTUAL MUSIC 7 INSTRUMENTS BEING PRESENTED.
