The song did not appear on the Led Zeppelin III album, but was eventually included on Coda. The album was produced by Page at his newly acquired Sol Studios and released in 1982 two years after the death of John Bonham. The guitar tuning for the song is an open-C6 chord (C-A-C-G-C-E). The song was never performed live at Led Zeppelin concerts.
