Houses Of The Holy Houses of the Holy is an album by Led Zeppelin released by Atlantic Records on March 28, 1973 (see 1973 in music). The album title is a dedication by the band to their fans who appeared at venues they dubbed, "houses of the holy". "D'yer Mak'er" is a reggae-based tune, and is a play on words from the joke "My wife's been to the West Indies" "Jamaica?" "No, she went of her own accord". The song "The Ocean" is also dedicated to the "sea" of fans which came to Led Zeppelin concerts. The cover photograph was taken at the Giant's Causeway, Northern Ireland. Some releases of the album have a paper outer sleeve hiding the naked children. The album cover was inspired by the ending of Arthur C. Clarke's novel Childhood's End.
