The album was recorded between May and June 1970 at Headley Grange ( using the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio ) and at Olympic , with further recording at Island Records ' Basing Street Studios in Notting Hill the following month . Mixing took place at Ardent Studios , Memphis , in August 1970 partway through the group 's sixth American concert tour . The album was produced by Page and engineered by Andy Johns and Terry Manning . Page had first met Manning when the latter 's band , Lawson and Four More had supported Page 's old band the Yardbirds in 1966 . Manning had been to several Led Zeppelin shows , and this led to Page asking him to engineer the new album
