LED ZEPPELIN IV
Matrix : 2401012 A//3 Corrected matrix PECKO DUCK - B//4 PORKY
Label Variation - Plum A3/B4 Misty Mountain Hop - Inverted Feather
Led Zeppelin IV is known to have a number of label variations, the most obvious is the stickered production credits label. The first is the A3/B3 inverted feather and then the 2nd is the corrected feather label with the Led Zeppelin text at the bottom, both have the Peter Grant credit. Then we move to the stickered credit change variation and on to the most common A3/B3 and A3/B4 Misty Mountain Top label error. The style changes further here with the band name moving to the top and the credit change permanently printed on the label. Some feathers are also inverted on these presses. Record Collector states that the 5th and final plum press has the correct Hop name change and both feathers the correct way up. This is not however the case, as with all other variations a handful were printed with the feather inverted.
The record in Excellent condition. The vinyl has a superb gloss, the grooves look sensational, they still have their jet black finish. There is no whitening, just a couple of very light wispy marks. The label is sensational. The colours are vivid and the white is extremely bright. The black text is sharp and there is just the very slightest spindle wear.
The original flipback dark brown printed inner sleeve has a taped edge but it is still solid and bright, with no edge splits
When played the record sits completely flat on the turntable. The sound is extremely bold, very bassy and vibrant. There are some moments of light background hiss but certainly nothing to spoil the enjoyment. There is Excellent clatity and audio separation throughout.
The matt gatefold sleeve is in Excellent condition. The sleeve is solid and the colours are bright. There is a little wear in the top corner and a couple of very faint marks on the back. The inside is superb and the spine is firm. 779 (GS 7.0.4 (779))
