Produced by Jimmy Page and released in spring of 1976, Led Zeppelin's Presence was their seventh album. Though it charted to number one on the UK and US charts, the album gets little airplay compared to other Zep albums.

The cover art was created by Hipgnosis, who did many of Pink Floyd's covers, and featured a black object being prayed upon, taught about, generally revered. Many people equated this object to Led Zeppelin's supposed deal with the devil.
