• Hell yeah! Might take some time before I can review, but I just wanted to grab it while I could... FunkMonk (talk) 12:37, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

... yup, before you get trampled under foot by someone else ;-) Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:01, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

I recently mixed a guitar and drum track together I and a friend had recorded of the beginning of In My Time of Dying when were teenagers, brings back nice memories. FunkMonk (talk) 19:12, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

• " where they had previously recorded their untitled fourth album" Might be good to name the band here, the first time it can be mentioned after the intro?

I've copyedited this slightly, to fix the problem Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• In some other Led Zep album articles, the deluxe edition tracks are "hatted". Any reason for the inconsistency?

Not a clue - I tend not to touch these things because usually another experienced editor has done this and I concentrate on prose and sources ;-) However, Presence (album) and Houses of the Holy both have the deluxe edition tracks unhatted, so let's go with that. The recent reissues have been documented in the press as being significant, so that makes sense. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• I wonder if the tracks with alternate names listed under deluxe edition really need links, considering that the same tracks are already linked in the standard track list.

No, I don't think so, so I've unlinked them. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• Likewise, I don't think those titles need to be linked in the "reissues" section. Kashmir itself isn't even linked at first mention under "recording", for example.

I don't think we need to mention the track names in the "reissues" section, the table below should be sufficient. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• The first Australian chart position needs a citation.

Good catch, have tagged "citation needed" while I go and look for one Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:09, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

I can't find a source for this anywhere, it's likely to be true but it's not verifiable, and if the main sources don't include it (they only concentrate on UK and US chart places), it probably doesn't matter too much to leave it out. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 13:25, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• I have often wondered why Houses of the Holy wasn't used on the album of the same name, I think this article might be a good place to explain that?

I think it's just a simple matter of time available on an LP, so something had to give. As it was all mixed and required no further work, it was an obvious choice to use for Physical Graffiti I guess. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• "The track is co-credited to credited to "Mrs. Valens,"" Two issues here, seems one "credited" should be cut, and that you should place the last quotation mark before the comma?

D'oh, fixed Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 12:08, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

• "Photographs of Lee Harvey Oswald, Marcel Duchamp" Why not linked? And I wonder if Roy Harper mentioned here is Roy Harper (singer), and should then be linked?

Didn't do this bit, but linked

• "The group's entire back catalogue also re-entered the charts" and "Shortly after its release, all previous Led Zeppelin albums simultaneously re-entered the top-200 album chart" maybe consolidate these two largely identical statements?

Fixed Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• "which has made it 16 times platinum as it is a double album" Not sure I understand the correlation, and the source used doesn't explain.

Not sure either, so I trimmed it Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• "has since said it his favourite" Said it is?

Fixed Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• "an inverted color version" I assume this article was meant to be written in UK English? This is an issue in the reissue section of all the Zep album articles...

Didn't write this bit, yet it should be BE (my spellchecker only seems to highlight prose I've actually edited). Anyway, fixed and linked to complementary colors. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• I think the intro needs a bit on the styles on the album.

I've dropped a sentence in. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)}

• I wonder if that one citation is needed in the intro?

No, not anymore, that's covered in the body now. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• "a five-night residency at Earl's Court, London" and "a three-night residency at Earl's Court, London" contradicts itself.

It was originally three, just extended to five. In the body, I've changed it to "series of shows" as it explains why more gigs were added. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

• That's about it, good to see the Led Zeppelin discography finally getting the treatment. I reviewed the Led Zeppelin FAC years ago[1], still disappointed it didn't get anywhere...

Most of the album articles are in reasonable shape; it just needs somebody to give it that extra push to get it up to a higher standard. Anyway, I think I've got all of those things, anything else? Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 10:04, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Nope, I added a missing space, but it looks fine to me now, so I'll pass, while hoping to see more from the discography at GAN! FunkMonk (talk) 14:09, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, FunkMonk! Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 14:45, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
