8 known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label variant are:
1. 'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.
2. 'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under ATLANTIC on left side.
3. LED ZEPPELIN is printed above spindle hole
4. Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'
5. There is no Peter Grant credit, and song publishing credits are: Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.
6. Track B1 is credited on B-side label as "Misty Mountain Hop"
Sleeve is a gatefold, thick card with sealed left side edge when opened up to reveal 'The Hermit' drawing. Disc is housed in a grey card liner with credits on one side and the lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on the other. Outer glue-tabs on the left and right sides of liner.
Importantly, although Jimmy Page had got all the 'Executive Producer Peter Grant' credits removed from the labels by this time, the liner still retains this credit, bottom left side.
This release was commonly referred to as 'Led Zeppelin IV', to follow in sequence with their previous three releases, but no actual title appears on the release.
(Note# No tracktimings appear on the labels or sleeve)
CONDITION
RECORD IS VERY NEAR MINT, LOVELY SHOP FRESH LOOKING WITH A DEEP GLOSSY MIRROR , LIKE NEW, RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE VERY CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY PLAYED VERY SPARINGLY IN THE LAST 52 YEARS, FINAL UPGRADE EXAMPLE STUNNING !!!
I CAN ONLY SEE ONE OR TWO VERY VERY FEINT AND TINY SLEEVE REMOVAL LINES IN TOTAL ONLY ON SIDE ONE,(SIDE 2 IS 100% UNBLEMISHED !!! ) , AND ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT OBVIOUSLY THEREFORE, ZERO EFFECT AT ALL ON SUPERB AUDIO PLAYBACK, (SEE PICS)
THE CENTRE LABELS ARE IN SUPERB CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST A COUPLE OF VERY VERY FEINT TINY SPINDLE MARKS (ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ) CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRE EACH SIDE, FURTHUR EVIDENCE OF 2-3 PLAYS IN 52 YEARS !!!
A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYTESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE, TINY STATIC AT RUN INS ONLY A LOVELY PLAYBACK !!!
THE OUTER GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS EXCELLENT + ON THIS RARE COPY,
NO SPLITS, NASTY WRITING ETC
A FULLY LEGIBLE UNWORN SPINE,
JUST SOME MINIMAL CORNER RUB, AND CLEAN INSIDE GATEFOLD,
ALL OPENING EDGES ARE STRONG AND DEFINED
A REALLY NICE EXAMPLE
THE CORRECT FIRST PRESS TEXTURED PAPER INNER LYRIC SLEEVES IS ALSO LOVELY AND CLEAN BUT HAS A BOTTOM SPLIT (SEE PICS) LOVELY AND CLEAN THOUGH DUE TO ONLY LEAVING THE OUTER SLEEVE ON VERY FEW OCCASSIONS !
SO, IN CONCLUSION, NOT ONLY A VERY RARE & DIFFICULT TO BEAT CONDITION UK FIRST PRESS, BUT
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE VINYL LOOKS & SOUNDS SUPERB !!!!
