In 1971, Led Zeppelin's fourth album was released. There wasn't a title on the front of the album, but it was commonly called the Four Symbols, The Fourth Album, or Led Zeppelin IV. It has since sold more than 37 million copies worldwide. The 19th-century oil painting on the album's cover was purchased from an antique shop in Berkshire, England by lead singer Robert Plant. The 20th-century tower block depicted on the back of the full LP cover is Butterfield Court in Dudley, England.
