Swan Song Album Discography
By Patrice Eyries, Mike Callahan, and David Edwards
Last update: September 23, 2005





Swan Song was Led Zeppelin's label, established in May, 1974, and lasting until October, 1983. It was hugely successful in the charts, featuring an eclectic group of artists with followings. The label started off with the "Supergroup" Bad Company's debut album and never looked back. When Led Zeppelin finally finished their contract obligations and joined the label as artists, it just made the success all that much greater.
