Led Zeppelin was Jimmy Page’s baby. The guitarist assembled the band. He dictated the creative vision. He had a hand in writing nearly all of Zeppelin’s songs. Page played guitar and other instruments. Just as crucially, he produced all the band’s albums. It was a lot of extra work, but Page never considered giving up the role as Led Zeppelin’s producer, and when an outsider tried to muscle his way into the title, the guitarist told him off with a very frank response.
Jimmy Page told Glyn Johns he ‘didn’t have a hope in hell’ of producing Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin was nearly a self-contained entity. Aside from tabla player Viram Jasani contributing to “Black Mountain Side” on the debut and Robert Plant sharing vocals with Sandy Denny on “The Battle of Evermore,” they never used outside performers. Sound engineers were the only outsiders to crack the inner circle.
