Untitled fourth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, AKA ZOSO, 4 STICKS, STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN LP RUNES, PROBABLY SOME MORE...... released on 8 November 1971 by Atlantic Records. Produced by guitarist Jimmy Page, it was recorded between December 1970 and March 1971 at several locations, most prominently the Victorian house Headley Grange.

After the band's previous album Led Zeppelin III received lukewarm reviews from critics, Page decided their fourth album would officially be untitled. This, along with the inner sleeve's design featuring four symbols that represented each band member, led to the album being referred to variously as ,Four Symbols, The Fourth Album, Untitled, Runes, The Hermit, and ZoSo(which was derived from Page's symbol). In addition to lacking an album title, the cover featured no band name, as the group wished to be anonymous and to avoid easy pigeonholing by the press.

Led Zeppelin IV was a commercial and critical success, producing many of the band's best-known songs, including "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", "Misty Mountain Hop", "Going to California", "When the Levee Breaks" and "Stairway to Heaven". The album is one of the best-selling albums of all time with more than 37 million copies having been sold and a 23x platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It is the fourth-best-selling album in the United States. Writers and critics have regularly cited it on lists of rock's greatest albums.

The four symbols

The idea for each member of the band to choose a personal emblem for the cover was Page's. In an interview he gave in 1977, he recalled:

After all this crap that we'd had with the critics, I put it to everybody else that it'd be a good idea to put out something totally anonymous. At first I wanted just one symbol on it, but then it was decided that since it was our fourth album and there were four of us, we could each choose our own symbol. I designed mine and everyone else had their own reasons for using the symbols that they used
