AND THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERB !!!!
CRAZY LOW START PRICE, WITH NO RESERVE AND NO, 'BUYERS PROTECTION' FEE TO PAY !!!!

THIS IS A VERY RARE UK 1ST PRESS AND WITH THE 2nd VERSION LABEL, AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING FROM THE 1st VERSION LABEL, IS THAT NOW THE, 'INVERTED FEATHER' ON THE LABEL HAS BEEN PRINTED THE CORRECT WAY UP !!!! THERE WERE AT LEAST 8 KNOWN, RED / PLUM, 7-DIGIT DELUX CAT# VERSIONS, AND AS IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT VERSION YOU ARE BIDDING ON, YOU WILL SEE BY THE LIST BELOW, IT CONFIRMS THIS IS THE 2nd VERSION LABEL. Label: Version 1
Original issue, Grant credit & inverted feather logo on B-side
Label: Version 2
As Version 1, but with feather logo corrected on B-side.
Label: Version 3
As Version 1 misprinted inverted feather logo on B-side, but with two label over-stickers.
Label: Version 4
Grant credit erased by 2 label over-stickers to Version 2. One adding band name at top, the other adding publishers/producer at bottom.
Label: Version 5
Stickers replaced by printed credits for the Version 3 data. However, B-side has title wrongly as 'Misty Mountain Top'. "Under licence..." text also added below Atlantic logo.
Label: Version 6
As Version 5, but Yet the feather logo is again inverted on B-side.
Label: Version 7
B-side track corrected to 'Misty Mountain Hop' and yet the feather logo is again inverted on B-side.
Label: Version 8
As Version 5, but B-side track corrected to 'Misty Mountain Hop' and the feather logo on B-side corrected and is the right way up.
Furthermore: A 'Grant' text credit may still be extant on the grey liner of the Version 3 issues and onward.
(Kinney 'K' cat# prefixes then followed, on Atlantic orange/green labels) WELL THAT'S THE TECHNICAL SIDE OF THINGS OUT OF THE WAY, BUT THEY ARE VERY IMPORTANT !!!!
THIS IS LED ZEPPELIN, AND MY FAVOURITE BAND OF ALL TIME, AND I WOULD SAY THIS ALBUM IS IN MY TOP FIVE GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME. THIS IS THEIR 4th, AND UNTITLED ALBUM RELEASED ON THE 8th NOVEMBER 1971. THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY !!!!
THIS ORIGINAL 1971 UK RED PLUM VERY EARLY 2nd LABEL UK 1ST PRESS IS FROM MY TREASURED PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL  1971 UK 1ST PRESS ON THE RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL :: 2401012 .
2401012 (B// CROSSED OUT) A//3  'PECKO DUCK'  12  7  ::  2401012  B//3   'PORKY'  12  1 .   

COVER ::  ORIGINAL UK 1ST PRESS GATEFOLD WITH THE CORRECT COLOURRED GLOW IN THE HERMITS LANTERN INSIDE THE GATE FOLD WHICH IS SILVER GREY IN COLOUR, AND NOT GOLD OR ORANGE WHICH WERE ON LATER COVERS. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE ALL SOLID, WITH LIGHT SHELF WEAR ALONG THE FULL LENGTH ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, AND ALSO ON ONE SIDE OF THE SPINE EDGE. THE SPINE HAS CLEAR CELLO TAPE, NOT BECAUSE IT HAS SPLIT BUT FOR PROTECTION AS THEY DID BACK IN THE DAY. THERE IS A RUB ON THE CORNERS, AND INSIDE THE GATEFOLD VERY NICE. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL FAINT SURFACE CREASE LINES, ON THE FRONT AND BACK, SEEN ONLY WHEN THE COVER IS ANGLED A CERTAIN WAY, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT SEE THEM, SO OVER ALL A VERY NICE LOOKING ORIGINAL, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+/EX- .

VINYL :: THE VINYL PLAYS OUTSTANDING, AND A TOTAL PLEASURE TO LISTEN TO, WITH NO AUDIO ISSUES, SO NO, SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS, CLICKS, STATIC OR CRACKLE, AND AS IT IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST OFF THE PRESS THE AUDIO SOUNDS WONDERFUL ALL I HEARD WAS....

SIDE 1 :: JUST BEAUTIFUL CLEAR AUDIO, JUST THE HINT OF A VERY FAINT SINGLE TICK AT THE START OF TRACK 4 ON SIDE 1 !!!!

SIDE 2 :: AGAIN JUST BEAUTIFUL CLEAR AUDIO !!!!

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL, WITH A LOVELY SHINE, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT THERE ARE A FEW FAINT SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED HARMLESS COSMETIC HAIRLINES, WITH FIVE SMALL ONES CLOSE TOGETHER ON TRACK 1 ON SIDE 1, SLIGHTLY MORE NOTICEABLE, BUT THEY ARE TOTALLY HARMLESS !!!!

YOU REALLY WILL STRUGGLE TO FIND A BETTER PLAYING VINYL FOR THIS AMAZING ALBUM, AND SO I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO A SUPERB, AND NO WAY OVER GRADED  ::  EX+/NEAR MINT .

LABELS :: VERY NICE, WITH JUST LITERALLY A FEW TINY FAINT SPINDLE LINES AT THE CENTRE SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT  ::  EX/EX+ .

ORIGINAL DARK GREY INNER :: MOST OF THE 8 EARLIEST LABEL VERSIONS, HAD INNERS WITH , 'PHOTOGRAPHY . KEITH . MORRIS', IN THE CREDITS AT THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, SO THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN 5 LINES OF CREDIT, BUT ON THIS INNER, THERE ARE ONLY 4 LINES, WITH, 'PHOTOGRAPHY . KEITH . MORRIS' MISSING. THE INNER LISTED HERE IS STILL AN ORIGINAL RED PLUM DARK GREY, SO NOT FROM A LATER ISSUE ORANGE AND GREEN LABEL PRESS, AS THEIR INNERS ARE MUCH LIGHTER IN COLOUR.

THE VINYL HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN THE INNER DESCRIBED HERE, SO A BIT OF A MYSTERY WHY THE, 'PHOTOGRAPHY . KEITH . MORRIS' CREDIT IS MISSING ?

THERE IS A SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON ONE SIDE EDGE, AND ANOTHER ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BOTTOM EDGE, AND ALSO A BIT OF WRITING IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND A SMALL TEAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOP OPENING EDGE, ON ONE SIDE ONLY, AND ALSO A COUPLE OF VERY LIGHT SPOT STAINS, PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTOS FOR A BETTER VISUAL DESCRIPTION, THANK YOU. SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I WOULD STILL GRADE  :: VG/VG+ .

YET ANOTHER ZEPPELIN MONSTER ALBUM, AND AS YOU HAVE JUST SEEN PLAYS UNBELIEVABLY WELL, AND HONESTLY YOU WILL NEED A MINT COPY TO GET BETTER AUDIO, SO YOU CERTAINLY WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED, I CAN ASSURE YOU OF THAT !!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!! ROSE.
