Led Zeppelin’s second album, recorded whilst on tour at various studios in the USA and completed and mixed in New York, August 1969. The cover features an airbrushed version of an original World War 1 photo of Baron Von Richthofen’s (The Red Baron) Flying Circus. The original pilots and ground crew have been replaced by Led Zeppelin’s band members, drag artist Danny la Rue and original blues artist Sonny Boy Williamson and possibly Ringo Star. The logo is hand drawn and is based on Kabel Black with extended ascenders and descenders creating a unique logo style.
