Summary

A close up of the 45 RPM single of Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin (circa 1970) showing how, when held at an angle to the light, an inscription appears inside the lead-out groove: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law". Unlike the Satanic "backwards masking" on Stairway to Heaven, this appears to be a genuine hidden message, quoting from Alistair Crowley.

. This photo cannot be replaced by a free image because the possible hidden inscription is unique to this record. Only the portion necessary to show the inscription is included. The quality is just high enough to read the miniscule writing, but far too low to create a forgery. The market value of the copyrighted work is not affected as this image in no way substitutes for the original.

I took this photograph myself.
