Description
Led Zeppelin’s fourth (and some would say best) album, catalogue No. 2401012 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. An excellent example of this FIRST UK PRESSING. This has the famous ‘Pecko Duck’ and ‘Porky’ etchings in the run off grooves on each side and the RARE Misty Mountain TOP mis-spelling. FIRST UK PRESS matrices are A3 and B3. As with all these early Zeppelin pressings the power they got into those grooves is astonishing ! This recording has a tremendous power and presence that surges out of the speakers and (very pleasantly) kicks you in the aural senses !! Bonzo’s drums are always a revelation and here it feels like you’re right there with him when He’s pounding out ‘Four Sticks’ and ‘When The Levee Breaks’. The detail and clarity of the quieter passages in ‘Stairway’ and ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ are wonderful. Play it at number 11 and hear why its one of the best albums ever made by any band anywhere !! Amazing !! The vinyl is in almost UNMARKED CONDITION and sounds HUGE !! There is NO DISTORTION from groove wear. There is a smattering of surface noise in some of the quieter parts but this is minimal. The sleeve is in VG condition with some wear to the edges. There are no tears or splits. The printed inner sleeve is in excellent condition with no splits or tears. It is not the original. An excellent example of this FIRST UK PRESSING by an awesome band captured at the height of their powers !!
