THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST NOTICEABLE AND PIONEERING ALBUMS OF ALL TIME, DUE TO THE RE-POSITIONING OF MICROPHONES AT DISTANCE FROM THE INSTRUMENTS. JIMMY PAGE CAME UP WITH THIS TECHNIQUE TO CREATE 'A MORE AUTHENTIC LIVE SOUND'. HE ALSO CHANGED THE TRACK LENGTH ON 'HOW MANY MORE TIMES' (8 MINUTES) TO BE PRINTED AS 3 MINUTES 30 SECONDS SO THAT IT WOULD GET MORE AIR PLAY.
