Much appreciated.

Howlin' Wolf's publishers sued Zep shortly after they discovered that the UK pressings of the 2nd album had changed the song title from "Killing Floor" to "Lemon Song".

The two parties immediately reached a financial settlement, but the writing credit was not changed until 1997.

Hope this helps,
