In 1973 Led Zeppelin was preparing for another tour of the USA. Jimmy Page and manager, Peter Grant, also began moves to create their own record label. This would guarantee complete creative and managerial control over the music, its packaging and distribution. It was decided to call the label Swan Song and a deal was signed with Atlantic that made the new label an independent subsidiary of Atlantic. Offices were opened in London and New York and the label was officially launched in May 1974.
Artists signed to Swan Song included Bad Company, The Pretty Things and Maggie Bell (of Stone The Crows).
The logo, seen in the pic, is based on the 1869-70 painting "Evening (The Fall Of Day)" by William Rimmer. The original is a symbolic depiction of Apollo, rising from Earth at sunset.
Interpretations of the Swan Song logo have been many and varied over the years - Icarus is a common one and Robert Plant has supported this; some say it's actually Robert Plant himself (minus his lemon!); others claim it to be Lucifer returning to the Light (another common interpretation given Jimmy's occult interests). Jimmy, of course, has typically remained silent on its symbolism.
PS. Rimmer's original work can be viewed (I think) at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
Swan Song - a track that was probably recorded for the next album but was never released by the band. Instrumental track only.
For Mission 24 - who isn't nostalgic about their favourite band that is no longer around?
This is a great picture. Its from the 1998 Robert Plant @ Jimmy Page - Walking Into Everywhere Tour

Trampled Under Foot, originally on Physical Graffiti. This is a little bit slower than they used to play it but it still rocks along like a train. Funky keyboard work from John Paul Jones.
Note pagey fans what he has done for his switching requirements. I wonder if he has any of his other famous Les Paul Standards at this moment.
If he got even more of a 3 pick up Les Paul by having these switching arrangments, then why when it got nicked he reverted to a more economical arrangment with his subsequent guitars? Discuss
In the days of my youth... Listening to Led Zeppelin

"Leaves are falling all around,
Its time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, Im much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.
But now its time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And its headed my way.
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know Ive got one thing I got to do,
Ramble on,
And nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
Im goin round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
Got no time to for spreadin roots,
The time has come to be gone.
And tho our health we drank a thousand times,
Its time to ramble on.
Ramble on,
And nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
Im goin round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
I aint tellin no lie.
Mines a tale that cant be told,
My freedom I hold dear;
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
Twas in the darkest depths of mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her....yea.
Aint nothing I can do, no.
Ramble on,
And nows the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
Im goin round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
Ive been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
Gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gotta keep-a-searchin for my baby...
Gonna work my way, round the world
I cant stop this feelin in my heart
Gotta keep searchin for my baby
I cant find my bluebird!
Id listen to my bluebird sing but I cant find my blue bird
A-keep-a ramblin baby..."
Members of Led Zeppelin allegedy rode their motorcycles through the lobby of the Chateau Marmont, trashing it in the process. (In the interest of full disclosure, I did not take this photo.)
Top photo: The LP was 42 years old yesterday. The image on the LP sleeve was taken at Eve Hill, Dudley. See other photo.
Taken from Peel St, off Salop St, Eve Hill. The tall block of flats on the album cover is Millfield Court (demolished in 1999) and not Butterfield Court, where John Bonham and his family lived for a short time. The buildings right and left, low down behind Millfield Court are Clent and Claverley Court flats, at the top of Russells Hall Rd, Dudley.
Bottom Photo; Because of re-development of the area and tree growth, the 2012 shot is taken from an approximate position of from where the original album cover photo was taken by Keith Morris. See link below:
