'Presence' is the seventh studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, released in 1976. It reached the top of both the British and American album charts, like the band's previous classics!
The album was written and recorded in the last months of 1975, during a difficult time in the band's history. Singer Robert Plant was recuperating from serious injuries he had sustained earlier that year in a car accident; this led to tours being cancelled and the band booking studio time to record 'Presence' instead. The entire album was completed in a few weeks, with guitarist and producer Jimmy Page putting in several long shifts to complete recording and mixing. The title came from the strong presence the group felt as they worked together. The LP's artwork from Hipgnosis featured several photographs focused on a mysterious black object, called "The Object".
'Presence' is dominated by compositions by Page and Plant, with only one track credited to the entire group; unlike other Zeppelin albums, it features no keyboards and little acoustic guitar.
This album's revered for its hard rock dynamics and simplicity compared to the group's other work. Stripped down and rockin'!
