The role of Humorist fell to hotboy. He also supplied the music. He only owned 4 LPs - Led Zep I, II, III and IV - and that's the way we liked it. For years I believed his speakers were cheap rubbish, because the drum sound was so cardboard. Recently I bought a copy of Led Zep II on CD, and it sounds just as trashy. Then I remembered reading that the studio had deliberately engineered a rough-sounding acoustic.
Our appreciation society eventually disbanded in disappointment when the fifth album was released. To this day they have never recorded anything else worth listening to, but it doesn't matter, the early albums just go on and on. It's appropriate that the last track on Led Zep 2 is "How Many More Times?"
