Led Zeppelin's 4th album (so entitled, lest we forget), is a curious mix of folk, rock and excellent blues instrumentals. With an element of Mick Jagger to them, Robert Plant's vocals on tracks such as StairwayToHeaven really take the top spot on this short album, although the whole presentation is brilliant.
The Battle Of Evermore is a foot-tapping ye olde age track, with plenty of instrumentals to it that take you back centuries, while tracks such as When The Levee Breaks really delve strongly into the bluesy nature of Zep.
The album really does show a highly versatile side to the group, and with only 8 tracks to do this in, it really does show just how talented and astute these guys were in their heyday.

I'm up there now, swinging my legs over the drop and gloating. But I know the stairs go on behind me, and soon I ...

I dont know what I did to deserve it, but some time ago received a catalogue through the post from Choc Express.
There before me in glorious technicolour was a vast array of the most beautiful chocolates imaginable. From hampers, huge celebration boxes promising to be made of the finest, extra thick chocolate, to a chocolate labrador for junior priced at £24.95. No, the labrador wasnt actually made of chocolate, just that colour and came with three milk chocolate bones and four pralines.
I thought that all the novelties suitable for junior were far too expensive, bearing in mind that the majority would end up coating my settee, so dismissed presents for small people.
But then, towards the end of the catalogue was my favourite bit *special offer*. Yes, yes, yes. I just love these and it advised me I could join ...
