LED ZEPPELIN - IV LP UK 'red-plum' Atlantic 2401 012, 1971
2401 012 A 3 1 1
2401 012 B 3 1 2
This is a mega rare UK 1st press (with 'Pecko Duck' on side 1 & 'Porky' on side 2 scratched on dead wax) of this November 1971 masterpiece - with the EARLIEST label! Supposedly just a few hundred copies were pressed with that label design!
Here are the 4 differences between this EARLIEST design and the slightly later, popular issue sold in hunderds of thousands copies:
- the name "LED ZEPPELIN' is smaller and positioned towards the bottom of label - on reissue was printed in larger letters and positioned towards the top of label!
- the Peter Grant credit (as Executive Producer) is present - on reissue it was removed!
- the line "UNDER LICENCE FROM ATLANTIC RECORDING CORP." is positioned above the white border - on reissue it's placed within the white border!
- the group's publisher: Superhype Music Inc. is omitted - on reissue the both music publishers (Kinney Music/Superhype Music Inc.) are included.
In March 2009 a copy (graded as VG+/VG+) was sold on Ebay for £450. This record is the same grading.
Vinyl very good (just a few marks here and there, no bad scratches).
Cover has wear around the edges and someone's name in biro on the top right see photo.
Shipping price includes insurance up to £500.
Do not underestimate the rarity of this true earliest 1st press LP.
Happy Bidding!!
