- My friend pointed out a defect in the master tapes that appears also
- in the song "The Ocean" (I know it is a master tape since it appears
- on the record as well as CD). Anyway, I believe just before going into
- the second (?) break where Plant starts singing the "la la lalala la la..."
- part, there is a click. It is almost covered by a drum hit (I think a
- snare). I wish I have a better description but I do not listen to Zep
- anymore (I used to be a big Zep-head). Did anyone else hear this?
