Led Zeppelin (album)

[edit]
  • ... that the British cover of Led Zeppelin's debut album originally used a turquoise typeface instead of orange? ...? Source: "During the first few weeks of release in the UK, the sleeve was printed with the name and Atlantic logo in turquoise. This was switched to the common orange print later in the year."

Overall: Fantastic article. I'm happy to see this album finally get to GA status as well (Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands of all-time). Unfortunately however, this article is ineligible for DYK as it has previously been listed on the On This Day section of Wikipedia's Main Page. Per DYK rules: ""Articles that have featured (bold link) previously on DYK, or in a blurb on the main page's In the news, or On this day sections are ineligible".
