“The release of ‘Zeppelin Two’ brought in advance orders of 350,000 from the States alone. Every time I moved into a new place, I’d set up my hi-fi before unpacking all the boxes, put this on the turntable and drop the needle on to the start of side one – crackle, crackle, then that familiar snippet of Robert Plant’s laugh before that Jimmy Page riff begins the groove – na na na na na… ”You’ve been cooling, honey I ain’t fooling…” When the drums and bass kick in, the neighbours soon know you’ve arrived and it feels like home… Since I first picked up a second-hand vinyl copy when I was in my teens, this has been my ‘go to’ Led Zeppelin album.
