studio album by Led Zeppelin
The untitled fourth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV,[a] was released on 8 November bygd Atlantic Records.

Adds Robert Plant: "Each of us decided to go away and choose a metaphysical type of symbol which somehow represented each of us individually--be it a state of mind, an opinion, or something we felt strongly about, or whatever. Then we were to come back together and present our symbols."
Jimmy Page's Symbol[]
Page designed his very own symbol (Zoso ). Though it resembles the alchemical symbol for Saturn, its meaning remains a mystery. The most recent fandom theory is that it symboli
