ive done countless research over these symbols as i am a zeppelin extremist but on fact eludes me. What does the fifth symbol mean? the symbol i refer to is the one with the three triangles. the triangle is from sandy denny who did guest vocals on the battle of evermore. does anyone know its meaning? ---

Led Zep’s fourth album [Led Zeppelin IV](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_IV) only has four symbols in its name. It sounds like you’re referring to something that’s probably no longer visible to anyone that has the CD, rather than the LP: > [@Wikipedia article linked above](#): > > There is actually a fifth, smaller symbol chosen by guest vocalist Sandy Denny representing her contribution to “The Battle of Evermore” and visible on the LP inner sleeve personnel list only, but this more serves the function of an asterisk on the credit sheet than it does an addition to the album’s title. ---

That’s a hell of a thing. Another thing lost (almost) as the music industry drives a technology change that’s an improvement, but cuts corners by omitting internal material.
