The album was released on October 22, 1969 and was certified Gold in the US by November 10th. The huge success of the million-selling US single ‘Whole Lotta Love’ propelled the album to No. 1 in America, where it dethroned Abbey Road, twice. It took a little longer in the UK, but it climbed to Number One there as well in February 1970.

Recorded quickly during Led Zeppelin's first American tours, Led Zeppelin II provided the blueprint for all the heavy metal bands that followed it. Since the group could only enter the studio for brief amounts of time, most of the songs that compose II are reworked blues and rock & roll standards that the band was performing on-stage at the time. Jimmy Page still provided layers of guitar overdubs, but the overall sound of the album is heavy and hard, brutal and direct. Whole Lotta Love," "The Lemon Song," and "Bring It on Home" are all based on classic blues songs - only, the riffs are simpler and louder and each song has an extended section for instrumental solos. Of the remaining six songs, two sport light acoustic touches ("Thank You," "Ramble On"), but the other four are straight-ahead heavy rock that follows the formula of the revamped blues songs.

Track by track, there are no flaws, no fillers, all songs are great and some among their very best

Notes

Contract pressing.
Probably printed by the UK Pye in the 1969. The copyright information are listed as ‘Copyright Control", when later red/plum labels state ’Warner Bros and Jewel Music.
To meet the high demand for this album at that time, Polydor sub bargained the pressing of few copies to Pye. It is recognized because has a groove inside the label and matrices end ONLY with the letter A (side 1) and B (side 2).

Error with etchings (number 9 is etched out and replaced with number 8 on B-side)
Spine title: Led Zeppelin 2 (instead of II) . Track 2 is erroneously named as ‘Living Loving Wreck (She’s A Woman)’. The sleever is light brown in colour. Sleeve credit contains 'The Lemon Song'

Original Atlantic recording (made July-August at various locations), pressed/manufactured & distributed under license in the UK by Polydor Records Limited and utilizing the Polydor catalog# series for the UK.

This recording has "Whole Lotta Love" (A1), "The Lemon Song" (A3) & "Bring It On Home" (B5) credited to band members. These four elements had credit changes effected on later issues, together with a retitling of tracks A3 & B2.

Gatefold unlaminated cover (light brown) No "Stereo" print on front. Inside cover track list has 'Maid' replacing 'Wreck' for title of B2 on label.

Notes

On re-issues:
Second reissue with green/orange label (first issues with this label are described here Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II).

On gatefold sleeve:
An Atlantic recording distributed by WEA Records Ltd. ® 1971 ©
Sleeve printed and made in England by Gothic Print Finishers Ltd., London SE9.
This release has no stereo logo nor catalogue # printed on the outer sleeve - these are both displayed inside the gatefold beneath the album's track-listing, credits and Atlantic logo.

On labels:
There are two ridges at 1.6cm and 3.3cm metric (or 0.62" and 1.25" Imperial) on this pressing - see Images.
On label rim, the Warner logo and not the WEA logo, as earlier claimed, is printed above the 3 o'clock position.
The group name Led Zeppelin is printed in the bottom orange half of the label.
Made in UK is printed under STEREO on label beginning at letter 'E'.
℗1969

Side 2 has 3 raised dots in shape of triangle 1 cm from centre hole at 5 o'clock position.

On misprint:
Track A3 ‘The Lemon Song’ is incorrectly labeled 'Killing Floor’. The track is shown with its correct title on the inner gatefold listing.
