Black Dog/ Misty Mountain Hop

There really hadn't been anything like this before, and nothing but pale imitations since. Of course, there haven't been any musicians like John Bonham and Jimmy Page, or vocalists like Robert Plant. Not that this is the very best thing they did together, but it's surely their hardest-rocking single. This is one of the nicest original retail pressings (no mention of Warner Bros. on labels) I've yet had in the store since opening in 2001. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a vintage Atlantic Records factory sleeve. It grades Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio). The audio is particularly noteworthy.
