LED ZEPPELIN IV 1971 RARE v.5 UK VINYL LP RED/PLUM, , A3/B3 top error
An exact match with this listing on Disocogs - release/439898-Led-Zeppelin-Untitled - which states:
This is the 5th of 9 known 'plum' label variations. Specific features for this: • 'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock. • 'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corpn.' in white area under 'Atlantic' on left side. • 'Led Zeppelin' is printed above spindle hole.
Side 2 has the following errors: 'Misty Mountain Hop' is misspelt 'Misty Mountain Top'.
ABOUT THIS COPY:
Matrix / Runout (A-side, stamped, variant 1): 2401012 ** A//3 Matrix / Runout (B-side, stamped, variant 1): 2401012 B//3
The gatefold sleeve has wear and tear, rubbed through a little on spine and around edges etc. there is a label removal mark on front - very nice inside gatefold. - see photos
Original STH lyrics inner is missing
Labels look great and have no rips or pen marks
Vinyl has many signs of past usage, just surface marks /light hairlines , from its past - I tried to show some in photos so take a look. There are a couple of light scratches side 2 - , they are not severe scratches though and do not cause any major issues , no jumps on playback , a couple of clicks/scrapes ocasionally
Playback is great - some quiet bits are crackly as you would expect - that familiar crackle surfacing occasionally , however the powerful bits still sound great! ...
A good listen overall - listen to the clip as it is a fair indicator.
So, not a perfect copy but a RARE var. 5 plum label, early release with the 'TOP' error, that has nice a gatefold sleeve, and is playable!
Please view all the photos..and the clip. I am starting with a VERY LOW bid price; NO RESERVE before bids come in though you can try an offer…. recent median prices achieved, for this release in (Discogs average overall for v.5 is £115 currently)
