Drop D before Fair Warning

[SpiderWars]

I remember when Fair Warning came out the only drop D tuning I had heard was acoustic guitar. Jimmy Page obv but plenty of others too. Then VH drops a record mostly tuned Drop D. Drop D tuning really took off after that.

What other electric rock guitar was in drop D prior to Fair Warning? There's probably a bunch of one-offs out there.
