==Recording== Initial recording sessions for the album took place exclusively at The Chapel in [[Encino, California]] in 1989. Co-producer, Rasta Li-Mon (R. Lee Manning) was the house engineer for owner, [[Dave Stewart (Eurythmics)|Dave Stewart]] of [[Eurythmics]]. The first sessions yielded two vinyl 45 singles, "Immigrant Song" b/w "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and "Whole Lotta Love" b/w "Tour-Telvis: A Bad Trip". Both singles were released by [http://www.birdcagerecords.com/ Birdcage Records] in 1989. After selling out multiple runs of the singles in various vinyl colors, Birdcage gave the go-ahead to record a full album. The original concept was to lampoon each Led Zeppelin album in its original order but that was scrapped for more of a hodgepodge approach that could include Dread Zeppelin live favorites like "[[Black Dog (Led Zeppelin song)|Black Dog]]" and "[[Heartbreaker (Led Zeppelin song)|Heartbreaker]]." Un-Led-Ed was 90% finished when Dread Zeppelin were signed to [[I.R.S. Records]] who arranged for the final recording sessions at Club 56 Studio in [[Burbank, California]]. Two songs were recorded: "Black Dog" and "(All I Want For Christmas Is) My Two Front Teeth." Both songs feature new drummer, Fresh Cheese 'n' Cheese (Paul Maselli). Original percussionist, Cheese (Curt Lichter), had left the band after the Chapel recordings. "Hey Hey What Can I Do" and "Tour-Telvis: A Bad Trip" were not included on ''Un Led-Ed'' but appear on a Birdcage Records cassette-only compilation called ''Kom Gib Mir Deine Zeppelin'' and various I.R.S. single B-sides. "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth" appears on a 1990 I.R.S. Christmas sampler called ''Just in Time for Christmas''. A fourth extra track, "Un-Led-Ed," a psychedelic pastiche incorporating several songs from the album and meant to be somewhat of an overture, was cut from the album due to copyright considerations. The song appears as "Un-Led-Eddd (in 3D)" on Dread Zeppelin's 1995 album for Birdcage Records, [[No Quarter Pounder]]. The album features a guest appearance by former Lemony Sykes vocalist George-John Chocolatto.
