Led Zeppelin - Presence [LP] (Remastered Original Vinyl, 180 Gram, gatefold)

Presence is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 31 March 1976. It was written and recorded during a tumultuous time in the Band's history, as singer Robert Plant was recuperating from serious injuries he had sustained the previous year in a car accident. Nevertheless, guitarist Jimmy Page describes Presence as the Band's "most important" album, proving they would continue and succeed despite their turmoil. Both Page and Plant had planned this album's recording session as a return to hard rock, much like their debut album, except at a new level of complexity. It marked a change in the Led Zeppelin sound towards more straightforward, guitar-based jams. Whereas their previous albums up to and including the previous year's Physical Graffiti contain electronica hard rock anthems balanced with acoustic ballads and intricate arrangements, Presence was seen to include more simplified riffs, and is Led Zeppelin's only studio album that features no keyboards.
