WHOLE LOTTA LOVE - Led Zeppelin - BLOW UP the SONG, Ep. 7 - (Bonham/Jones/Page/Plant/Dixon)

#WholeLottaLove #Led Zeppelin #Multitrack
Watch and listen as I explode the veneer of the final mix of Led Zeppelin's first and only Top 5 hit WHOLE LOTTA LOVE. Hear isolated master tracks and incredible performances from the song that helped put hard rock on the map. Written by all four members of Led Zeppelin + Willie Dixon and released on the 1969 album Led Zeppelin II.
A psychedelic, sexual and musical tour de force!

Jimmy Page, Producer, Guitar, Theremin & Backing Vocals
John Bonham, Drums and Percussion
John Paul Jones, Bass, Bongos & Backing Vocals
Robert Plant, Lead & Backing Vocals
Eddie Kramer, Recording Engineer
Mixed at A&R Recording in New York City
