Since its initial release in October of 1969, “Led Zeppelin II” has been acknowledged by many critics and music writers as one of the most influential rock albums of all-time, and has earned several accolades from music publications, which frequently place it at or near the top of “best album” lists. Music historians have cited “Led Zeppelin II” as a blueprint for hard rock, influencing now- legendary bands such as Aerosmith, Iron Maiden and Guns N’ Roses amongst others. Offered here for your bidding pleasure is an original Atlantic Records pressing of the landmark album, beautifully hand signed along the front cover in pink felt tip marker by all four members of the group: Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and the late legendary drummer John Bonham. Like the significance of this album’s influence on music, the rarity of a complete group signed Zeppelin album cannot be overstated. Led Zeppelin stood as perhaps one of the most difficult rock bands to access from an autograph perspective. And, unlike those who came before them such as the Beatles or the Stones, the group was shielded by security and managers at virtually all times. To put it in perspective, it could be argued that for every 100 Beatles group signed pieces in existence, there may only be 1 Led Zeppelin group signed item! And specifically relating to this monumental album, this particular piece stands as one of only a couple of authentic group signed “Led Zeppelin II” albums known to exist. Don't miss this offering, as complete Zeppelin albums are usually kept behind lock & key in the most prestigious music collections. Some trivial handling wear along the edges, otherwise fine. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from Tracks & Beckett/BAS.
