“Led Zeppelin IV”

LED ZEPPELIN

Incredibly rare promotional DJ copy of Led Zeppelin’s 4th album, released in 1971. Promotional, Demonstration and Radio Station copies were sent to the radio stations as much as four or five months prior to the release of the record and considered to be the earliest very first pressings of the album. This is the true 1st pressing, mastered by the legendary engineer George Peckham, whose nicknames “Porky” (Side 1) and “Pecko Duck” (Side 2) are etched in the trail-off vinyl. Original very early 1st print greenish brown cardboard gatefold cover, containing an original large black “ZOSO” hype sticker at the top left corner and neon orange “Promotional Not For Sale” round sticker at the top right corner of the front cover. This promotional white label DH copy contains an original custom 'ZOSO Four Symbols' tan textured paper inner sleeve with the 'Stairway To Heaven' lyrics and credits. Original white with black text Atlantic Records SD 7208 Four Symbol “ZOSO” Promotional Copy Not For Sale label with the “1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y.” dress at the bottom rim. Thick heavy glossy vinyl pressing with the very early matrix numbers in the trail-off vinyl SIDE 1: ST-A-712285-EEE-I AT/GP PR PORKY / SIDE 2: ST-A-712286DDD-I AT/GP PR PECKO DUCK. The vinyl is gorgeous with a fresh factory glossy lacquer. It’s amazing how well the vinyl has been preserved, especially considering that these white label copies were played very often at the radio stations. The vinyl only has some few very light scuffs from the inner sleeve. The labels are snow white clean without having any scuffs or wear and contain a deep rich and sharp black print. The cover is in great condition as well, only having some very light, barely noticeable bumping to the bottom left corner and light creasing at the top right corner. Very clean cover without any hints of ring wear. Rigid spine and edges without having any splits, scuffs or wear. Original custom inner sleeve in excellent shape without any splits, wear or tears.

POLICY:

Realizing how important it is to secure the safety of the item you've paid your money for, I'll put my best effort into packing the records as best as possible, triple boxing them into the specialized professional boxes, with the two outer boxes having a special construction with extended cardboard on the edges to prevent the record covers' corners from getting damaged during the transit, and will also put the vinyl outside of the cover (of course, unless it's a sealed record) to prevent the splitting. I always try responding to the messages, but please, before sending me a message, make sure that the answer to your question isn't included in the description. I'll use my right to block a buyer, who doesn't correspond to my idea of politeness, culture and respect toward each other. If you want to participate in my auction, please be honest and positive, and I'll be mutual with you. I'll remove the bids of a buyer with zero rating, unless he contacts me prior to placing a bid. Unfortunately, I don't ship to Germany or Russia. I apologize to the buyers from these countries in advance.
