Peter Grants favourite Led Zeppelin album as well.

It's outstanding and still sounds fresh today as when I first heard it in the late 70's when I started to get into music as a kid.

Yeah sounds about right.
 
I'm sure it was a conversation between Pete Townsend and Keith Moon and when Page heard about the lead balloon reference he came up with Zeppelin instead and also removed the a from lead.

Ah the red snapper incident, it was allegedly filmed by someone from the band vanilla fudge but it has never surfaced.

I think the story first appeared in Richard Cole's Hammer of the Gods book (the journalist Stepehen Davis is listed as the author but it all came from Cole). It's a good book apart from lots of the facts of who, where and what are often incorrect.
