FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FROM: BOB ROLONTZ

   ATLANTIC RECORDS SIGNS ENGLAND'S HOT NEW GROUP, LED ZEPPELIN,

             IN ONE OF THE BIGGEST DEALS OF THE YEAR

     Atlantic Records has signed the hot new English group, Led
Zeppelin, to a long term, exclusive recording contract.  Although the
exact terms of the deal are secret, it can be disclosed that it is
one of the most substantial deals Atlantic has ever made.  Agreement
for the group's services was made between Jerry Wexler, Executive
Vice President of Atlantic Records, and Peter Grant, manager of the
group.
     Led Zeppelin consists of four of the most exciting musicians
performing in Britain today.  They are Jimmy Page, leader of the
group and lead guitarist; John Paul Jones, bassist, pianist,
organist, arranger; John Bonham, drums; and Robert Plant, lead vocal
and harmonica.
     Jimmy Page is a former member of the Yardbirds, the group that
spawned the careers of two other great musicians, Eric Clapton and
Jeff Beck.  Page joined the Yardbirds in 1966 and stayed with the
group until it disbanded in the summer of 1968.  Prior to joining
the Yardbirds he was one of the busiest session men in London.
     John Paul Jones is considered one of England's finest arrangers
as well as an outstanding bass player.  He is the arranger of
Donovan's "Mellow Yellow", "Sunshine Superman", and "Hurdy Gurdy
Man", and of the Rolling Stones' "She's A Rainbow."  Drummer John
Bonham created a sensation with his drum solos while accompanying
Tim Rose on his British tour in early 1968.  Vocalist Robert Plant
is considered one of England's outstanding young blues singers, and
has been involved in singing blues since he was 15.  All of the
members of the group are in their early 20's.
     The pulsations surrounding Led Zeppelin have intensified ever
since the group recorded its first (and as yet unreleased) album,
which was produced by Jimmy Page, just a month ago in London.  Top
English and American rock musicians who have heard the tracks have
compared the LP to the best of Cream and Jimi Hendrix, and have
called Led Zeppelin the next group to reach the heights achieved by
Cream and Hendrix.  This Led Zeppelin LP will be released by Atlantic
early in January.
     Led Zeppelin is the eighth British group to be singed by
Atlantic during the past 24 months.  The others are Cream, Bee Gees,
Julie Driscoll-Brian Auger & The Trinity, The Crazy World of Arthur
Brown, The Marbles, The Magic Lanterns, and Jimmy James & The
Vagabonds.
