November 14, 2019 — The rm brokered a groundbreaking collaboration between Led Zeppelin and designer John Varvatos to co-create an exclusive collection in honor of the legendary rock band’s 50th anniversary. The deal came just ahead of the Nov. 8th anniversary of the drop of the band’s best-selling album, Led Zeppelin IV, which received a 23 times multi-platinum certication from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and introduced the world to arguably the greatest rock and roll song of all time, “Stairway to Heaven.” Announced on Oct. 31, the deal has been lauded across the fashion industry, social media and news outlets. The branding will feature “Led Zeppelin x John Varvatos” across a collection of leather jackets, dress shirts, jeans and scarves that evoke the band’s innovative aesthetic, under the guidance of Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones themselves. The collection includes subtle nods to die-hard fans and rock acionados, such as a limited edition tee shirt with the iconic turquoise text from the band’s rst album and a vintage shirt bearing the mythical symbols famously used in lieu of a formal title for Led Zeppelin IV. HHR’s Media, Technology and Commercial Transactions Group handled the deal from start to nish, successfully navigating complex issues related to design, authorship, production and royalties with the members of the band and their representatives. Members of Led Zeppelin praised the deal. “The Varvatos style is unique – he’s out on his own,” said singer Robert Plant. “Above and beyond the crowd below.” Guitarist Jimmy Page said, “Iʼm pleased that there is now a Led Zeppelin collection. I was really impressed with how everything came out.” Hughes Hubbard Inks Groundbreaking Deal Between Led Zeppelin and John Varvatos 1/2 The deal has been extensively covered across the fashion industry in Women’s Wear Daily, Maxim Italia, Fashion United, Reverb and by numerous boutiques and inuencers, in addition to media outlets such as iHeart Radio and the band’s own social media accounts.

HHR has also negotiated product partnerships with Converse sneakers, Elizabeth Arden fragrances and the Jimi Hendrix Estate, as well as fashion endorsement deals with celebrities, including pop star Nick Jonas.

  • Led Zeppelin Download Album the Top 100 Best Selling Albums of All Time
    led zeppelin download album The Top 100 Best Selling Albums of All Time. What’s the best selling album of all time? The answer might surprise you, based on certified sales by the RIAA. In 2018, The Eagles’ Their Greatest Hits (1971—1975) surpassed Michael Jackson’s Thriller as the best selling album of all time in the United States. Since that point, the lead has only widened. The Eagles album has now sold more than 38 million copies according to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), thanks in part to continued touring across the United States and sustained interest on streaming platforms like Spotify. Their Greatest Hits (1971—1975) debuted in 1976 and included many of the group’s classics like “Take It Easy” and “Witchy Woman.” These sales figures compiled by the RIAA include disc and streaming sales. Thriller briefly overtook the Eagles compilation as the best selling album of all time in 2009 after Jackson’s death caused a surge in sales. But recent accusations against Jackson involving sexual assault may have softened sales for the pop superstar. Led Zeppelin IV (Remastered) Years after Led Zeppelin IV became one of the most famous albums in the history of rock music, Robert Plant was driving toward the Oregon Coast when the radio caught his ear. The music was fantastic: old, spectral doo-wop—nothing he’d ever heard before. When the DJ came back on, he started plugging the station’s seasonal fundraiser. Support local radio, he said—we promise we’ll never play “Stairway to Heaven.” Plant pulled over and called in with a sizable donation.

  • Inside the Cages of the Zoo
    The Library of America • Story of the Week From Shake It Up: Great American Writing on Rock and Pop from Elvis to Jay Z (Library of America, 2017), pages 151–65. Originally published in Trips: Rock Life in the Sixties (1973). Copyright © by Ellen Sander. ▼ Ellen Sander Ellen Sander (b. 1944) was The Saturday Review’s rock critic in the mid- to late sixties and also wrote on rock for Vogue, The Realist, Cavalier, The L.A. Free Press, the Sunday New York Times Arts & Leisure section, and many other venues. She is the author of Trips: Rock Life in the Sixties (1973), an important source for those seeking to understand the texture and allure of 1960s rock culture. A unique aspect of that culture was captured in Sander’s piece “The Case of the Cock- Sure Groupies” (1968), a remarkably clear- eyed and nonjudgmental account of one of rock’s less celebrated scenes. After her years of rock writing, Sander worked in various capacities in the software industry, from tech writing to computational linguistics. She then returned to her first love, poetry; most recently she served as the Poet Laure- ate of Belfast, Maine (2013–2014). Several collections of her rock journalism are available as Kindle ebooks. ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ Inside the Cages of the Zoo Some years later, a group called Led Zeppelin came to America to make it, taking a highly calculated risk. The group had been put together around Jimmy Page, who had a heavy personal following from his previous work with the Yardbirds, an immensely popular British group that generated a great deal of charisma in the States.

  • A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell's Kitchen Liner Notes
    Led Blimpie: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell’s Kitchen Liner Notes Originally begun as a 3 song demo, this project evolved into a full-on research project to discover the recording styles used to capture Zeppelin's original tracks. Sifting through over 3 decades of interviews, finding the gems where Page revealed his approach, the band enrolled in “Zeppelin University” and received their doctorate in “Jimmy Page's Recording Techniques”. The result is their thesis, an album entitled: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin from Hell's Kitchen. The physical CD and digipack are adorned with original Led Blimpie artwork that parodies the iconic Zeppelin imagery. "This was one of the most challenging projects I've ever had as a producer/engineer...think of it; to create an accurate reproduction of Jimmy Page's late 60's/early 70's analog productions using modern recording gear in my small project studio. Hats off to the boys in the band and to everyone involved.. Enjoy!" -Freddie Katz Co-Producer/Engineer Following is a track-by-track telling of how it all came together by Co-Producer and Led Blimpie guitarist, Thor Fields. Black Dog -originally from Led Zeppelin IV The guitar tone on this particular track has a very distinct sound. The left guitar was played live with the band through a Marshall JCM 800 half stack with 4X12's, while the right and middle (overdubbed) guitars went straight into the mic channel of the mixing board and then into two compressors in series. For the Leslie sounds on the solo, we used the Neo Instruments “Ventilator" in stereo (outputting to two amps).

  • Original Art for Led Zeppelin Debut Album Offered at Christie’S Online
    RELEASE | NEW YORK | 08 MAY 2020 ORIGINAL ART FOR LED ZEPPELIN DEBUT ALBUM OFFERED AT CHRISTIE’S ONLINE ONLINE BIDDING: 2 JUNE – 18 JUNE 2020 THE ORIGINAL ART FOR LED ZEPPELIN'S DEBUT LP George Hardie, 1969 Estimate: USD 20,000 – USD 30,000 New York – On 2 June to 18 June, the original artwork for the first Led Zeppelin LP: one of the most iconic album covers of all time will be featured in Christie’s online auction The Open Book: Fine Travel, Americana, Literature and History in Print and Manuscript sale, during the Classic Week series of sales. The estimate is $20,000- 30,000. George Hardie was still a graduate student at the Royal College of Art when his friend, photographer Stephen Goldblatt recommended him to Led Zeppelin in 1969. After rejecting his initial ideas, Jimmy Page suggested that Hardie adapt Sam Shere's jarring 1937 photograph of the Hindenburg disaster. Hardie set to work rendering the image in stipple on tracing paper, evoking the feel of a low-resolution newsprint photo. Led Zeppelin paid Hardie £60 for his work on what has become one of the most recognizable album covers in the history of recording. Peter Klarnet, Senior Specialist, Books & Manuscripts, comments: “The historical significance of this album cover cannot be understated. It marked a major turning point in the history of pop music, heralded by the debut of Led Zeppelin. It was louder, bolder than what had come before and would come to define the shape of hard rock for generations. This simple rendering of the Hindenburg exploding over Lakehurst stands as a monument to that important historical moment.

  • On “The Battle of Evermore” by Led Zeppelin
    TR 11 On “The Battle of Evermore” by Led Zeppelin Douglas Menagh “The whole idea of music, from the beginning of time, was for people to be happy.” —Robert Plant The last time I was with my dad—before he was hospitalized and passed—was at his Led Zeppelin place in Peter Cooper Village in the spring of 2013. I stood there, waiting for him outside in a quad of buildings on a sunny afternoon. A cool breeze blew through the trees as “The Battle of Evermore” adults accompanied children on paths. My father was always good around kids, especially Untitled / Runes / ZoSo / IV to me and my sister Nancy when we were little. It made me happy to know that he was 11/1971 somewhere peaceful, where he could remember happy times with his own family. That distracted me from my own nervousness at reuniting with him after a period of Atlantic estrangement. It wasn’t hard to tell from my father’s walk that it was him passing through the entrance archway into his community. He always had a familiar gait, and I was happy to see it again. In our recent chats, he sounded like the good man that was my father, not the person he had been all those years. He walked around with an oxygen tank, which I had heard about from my mom and sister, who were both on speaking terms with him by then. He didn’t look all bad though. His hair still looked wavy and silvery. Mostly, I was glad to see him and break bread.
