Welcome to this Runout Grooves listing. We might be new sellers to Ebay, but we have over 20 years experience of selling music (both online and in record shops) so please don't be concerned with the low feedback rating. We are confident that our feedback score will rise very fast!
Runout Grooves is run by collectors for collectors, so we know exactly what you want to see in a listing. We aim to give you as much information as you could possibly hope for to enable you to decide if the items that we have for sale are exactly the ones that you are looking for. We will have lots of high-resolution photos (showing you the best bits as well as any defects) plus detailed descriptions of condition, matrix numbers, pressing information - and, most importantly of all, a professional and conservative grading of sleeve and disc. You can bid with confidence!
This week we will be listing a fantastic selection of punk, indie and classic rock LPs. If you like the look of this record then check out our other items for sale and add us to your favourite sellers.
This is a very rare LP of Led Zeppelin IV/Untitled. This is the first pressing with the A3/B3 Matrix numbers (there was never a release with A1/B1 or A2/B2 matrix numbers) and it has the original Atlantic plum labels. The vinyl is in superb condition with not a single mark anywhere to be found. I'm sure that many dealers would grade this as Near Mint, but where we know a record has been played we will not grade higher than EX. Rest assured that this is a beautiful piece of vinyl, and it is hard to imagine that you will find a better one!
Distinguishing features are:

• Both labels credit Peter Grant as Executive Producer - this was removed after the very early pressings after Jimmy Page objected to it.
• 'Led Zeppelin' is printed in the plum part of the labels - in later pressings the band name is printed in the orange part in the top half.
• Dark grey inner sleeve with flipbacks on left and right edges - different design in later pressings.
• PORKY and PECKO DUCK scratched in the runout grooves.
• Publishing credits are all to Kinsey Music Ltd - later pressings give credits to Superhype Music Inc.
• Matt finish gatefold sleeve.
• The feather symbol is NOT inverted on side 2.
• Misty Mountain Hop is spelt correctly - some copies have 'Top'.

We use the Record Collector grading system which grades records from Mint to Poor. We always aim to grade conservatively and fairly. However, we recognise that grading can be subjective and one man's EX can be another man's Good, so please contact us if you would like to clarify any issues with condition. Please note that (unlike other sellers) we will only grade records as Mint or Near Mint if we can be certain that they have never been played. If they have been used, then our highest grading will be EX.
