I am in search of album reviews of 'Led Zeppelin IV'. What I need are
reviews by creditable sources, preferably reviews that were published
in print at one point or another. I am looking for around 4 reviews.
Websites are ok as long as the author and/or site are credible, and
the review is in-depth.

Some vintage quotes from original '70s reviews are on this page

Thank you, very good. Only thing that would have made it better would
have been bigger articles. I guess I can only ask for so much seeing
that the album came out in 1971. Most of the magazines from back then
are either gone or not archived on the net yet.
