LED ZEPPELIN – Evolution Is Timing • 1971 Radio Sessions 2xLP

Legendary UK prog outfit Led Zeppelin were at a pivotal moment and creative peak when these sounds were recorded for Evolution Is Timing – 1971 Radio Sessions. They came during a transitional period between Led Zeppelin III and IV, and the sessions offer stripped-down renditions, alternate takes and fiery live performances that highlight the band’s evolution from blues-rock heavyweights to genre-defining innovators. Page’s guitar is razor-sharp throughout and Plant’s vocals soar with the verve of youth while Bonham – sounding particularly brutal driving the monstrous riffs of ‘Moby Dick’ and ‘Black Dog’ – and Jones provide thunderous, intuitive rhythms. This is an album that documents a formative era with clarity and force and reveals the roots of Zeppelin’s greatness
