This record is number 8 in the list of Led Zeppelin vinyl rarities, very very hard to get hold of in this or any condition.Led Zeppelin 1 with the Turquoise lettering comes in at number 50.
First of all, I'll explain should there be anybody still in the dark about Led Zeppelin; they didn't release any singles! Not once in their entire lifetime, they didn't trouble the singles charts until 1997 when a re-issue of 'Whole Lotta Love' gave them their first proper (purely in chart compilers terms) hit single. There were a couple of proposed singles in the early seventies, but Jimmy Page's artistic vision centred around albums and, commendably, he was a brick wall when faced with increasing record company pressure to play the commercial game! It's the existence of a handful of these proposed singles, pressed up by Atlantic in highly optimistic limited numbers, that stand as proof of the way they attempted to push the 1970's biggest rock act in the traditional direction. But the 'albums - no singles' ultimately remained intact and resulted in the existence today of some of the rarest and most desirable items on serious Led Zeppelin collectors wish list. There are only about three known attempts by Atlantic to coax Led Zeppelin into the singles market, and it's because these seven inch records were pressed in such limited numbers and never reached a shop floor that they can now command such high prices on today's collectors market.
