LED ZEPPELIN legends Robert Plant and Jimmy Page are guests on In The Studio - The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands - this week. They are discussing the 40th Anniversary of Led Zeppelin III with professional radio broadcaster and rock musician interviewer Redbeard.

Led Zeppelin III was recorded between January and July 1970 and was released on October 5, 1970 by Atlantic Records. Composed largely at a remote cottage in Wales known as Bron-Yr-Aur, this work represented a maturing of the band's music towards a greater emphasis on folk and acoustic sounds. This surprised many fans and critics, according to Wikipedia, and upon its release the album received rather indifferent reviews. Although it is not one of the highest sellers in Led Zeppelin's catalogue, Led Zeppelin III is now generally praised, and acknowledged as representing an important milestone in the band's history.
