Led Zeppelin III

album

October 5, 1970

Jimmy Page

I had a gardening calendar wheel and when you moved the wheel around, it would show little information windows telling you what to sow/prune/harvest and when. I thought it would be interesting to attempt a similar design for an album cover. The artist Richard Drew, whom I had known since 1962, took this idea and made the Led Zeppelin III album cover into a great piece of Pop Art. I thought Richard, who changed his name to Zacron at this time, did a superb job. He really rose to the occasion.
