MATRIX NUMBERS

NOTES

'Plum' Atlantic pressing on red/white/plum label.

This is the 5th (of 8) known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label are:

'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.

'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under Atlantic on left side.

Led Zeppelin is printed above spindle hole, Variation 3 had a printed label in smaller type-face, and Variations 1 and 2 had the band name printed below the spindle hole in the 'plum' section.

Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'

There is no Peter Grant credit on the label but the printed inner sleeve still retains the Executive Producer Peter Grant credit, and song publishing credits are:
Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.

Side 2 has the following error: 'Misty Mountain Hop' is misspelt 'Misty Mountain Top'.

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.


CONDITION 

RECORD IS EXCELLENT +, LOVELY LOOKING WITH A DEEP GLOSSY LIKE NEW RAINBOW SHEEN TO THE VINYL SURFACES WHICH ARE CLEAN AND BRIGHT. OBVIOUSLY PLAYED VERY SPARINGLY IN THE LAST 52 YEARS,

I CAN ONLY SEE 2-3 HAIRLINES ON SIDE 1 SIDE 2 LOOKS UNBLEMISHED, AND ONLY WHEN VINYL IS TILTED, UNDER A STRONG LIGHT OBVIOUSLY THEREFORE NO EFFECT AT ALL ON AUDIO PLAYBACK,  (SEE PICS)

CENTRE LABELS ARE IN SUPER CONDITION (SEE PICS) WITH JUST A FEW FEINT TINY SPINDLE MARKS (ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ) CONFINED TO THE DISC CENTRE EACH SIDE 

 A GREAT AUDIO EXPERIENCE WHEN PLAYTESTED ON MY REGA TURNTABLE, TINY STATIC AT RUN INS ONLY A  LOVELY PLAYBACK !!!

THE OUTER GATEFOLD SLEEVE IS VG+ ON THIS  RARE COPY, 

NO SPLITS, NASTY WRITING ETC 

EDGE & CORNER RUB PRESENT, CLEAN INSIDE GATEFOLD, PRICE STICKER SCAR (FRONT TOP RIGHT (SEE PICS) 

 ALL OPENING EDGES ARE STRONG AND DEFINED

THE CORRECT FIRST PRESS TEXTURED PAPER INNER LYRIC SLEEVES  IS CLEAN BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICS HAS TORN BADLY AT THE TOP , PART MISSING, NO SPLITS BUT ID LOOK TO REPLACE BEING HONEST ?

SO, IN CONCLUSION, NOT ONLY A VERY RARE NICE CONDITION UK FIRST PRESS ACTUAL RECORD, BUT LET DOWN SLIGHTLY BY THE SLEEVES ?

IMPORTANTLY THE VINYL LOOKS & SOUNDS SUPERB !!!! 

PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES CLOSELY AND USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO SELF ASSESS

ALSO PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER RARE FIRST PRESS BEATLES, ZEPPELIN, ROCK VINYLS, PUNK LISTED, FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION, GATHERED OVER 40 YEARS,
