Not much happening out there. I signed in to pass this along.

Led Zeppelin II (Remastered) Free, Others $1
Google Play has this album for free today. Not sure when this expires.
I was never a big Led Zep fan. I do like Whole Lotta Love (rip-off or not) and this is a chance to add a legendary album to my collection for zilch.
Several other albums are only $1: [Deal Alert] Led Zeppelin II Is Free On Google Play Music, Nearly A Dozen Other Albums From Classic Rock/Metal/Country Groups Just A Dollar (US Only)
Neil Young: Harvest
Led Zeppelin: Celebration Day
Van Morrison: Moondance
ZZ Top: Eliminator
