On This Day, Feb. 7, 1970 …<\/p>\n

Led Zeppelin<\/strong> scored their first U.K. #1 with their second studio album, Led Zeppelin II.<\/em><\/p>\n

The album, produced by guitarist Jimmy Page<\/strong>, featured such Zeppelin classics as \u201cWhole Lotta Love,\u201d \u201cThank You\u201d and \u201cRamble On.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album spent one week in the top spot, but remained in the top 10 for 54 weeks and in the top 100 for 129 weeks. In the U.S. it also hit #1, spending seven weeks on top.<\/p>\n

Led Zeppelin II<\/em> went on to be certified 12-times Platinum and has been ranked on several critics’ lists of the best albums of all time.<\/p>\n

In 2014 the album was reissued, with the deluxe and super deluxe editions coming with bonus material, including alternative takes, backing tracks and a previously unreleased instrumental track, “La La.”<\/p>\n

A new documentary about the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame band, Becoming Led Zeppelin<\/em>, is set to open exclusively in IMAX theaters on Friday. It will then hit theaters nationwide on Feb. 14.<\/p>\n
