The first album was recorded in less than 30 hours just a few weeks after Led Zep's formation.

This album contains a old song named "Dazed & Confused" which starts of as a ballad blues number and becomes fused with metal riffs, a classic song. "Dazed & Confused" and "How Many More Times" were leftovers from Page's last days with the Yardbirds. "Good Times Bad Times" combines funk with rock and was created alongside "Communications Breakdown" from their initial rehearsals. "Black Mountain Side" was based on folk guitarist Bert Jansch's Black Water Side. "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" starts of as a ballad but progresses into a heavy rock track ,they were before their time on this one and the ending sounds like Bohemian Rhapsody. This number was borrowed from a Joan Baez album. "You Shook Me" is a classic blues cover of a Willie Dixon & JB Lenoir song. 'I Can't Quit You Baby' is a Otis Redding song. The album displays Page and Plants affinity with the blues and its release was in keeping with the British blues boom of the time. In John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page had invested in a musician of seasoned quality - marvel at the great bass playing on 'Good Times' and swirling organ that opens 'Your Time Is Gonna Come'. By recruiting two black country rockers, Robert Plant and John Bonham, Page had discovered two Rock N Roll legends. This album laid the foundations for the modern rock genre.

This review is somewhat too thin on detail to be useful. Please revise in order to make useful. I am happy to rerate when this is done. Let me know.

This review is suposed to be about the remastered version which you don't even mention. You give general details about the band more than about the album that is supposed to be the subject of this opinion.
