55 years ago today, Led Zeppelin signed with Atlantic Records! Believe it or not, the execs at Atlantic had never seen Zeppelin (which makes sense when you consider that they had just played their first gig 2 months prior), and Ahmet Ertegun is rumored to have based his decision on a recommendation from Dusty Springfield. Jimmy Page showed up on signing day with the tapes for Zeppelin's first album in tow, and was immediately handed a check for $200,000 - an amount that was virtually unheard of at the time (approximately $1.1 million in today's dollars). Led Zeppelin I was released two months later...and the rest is history!
