Description
Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin Vol. 4
Atlantic – SD 8236
Turkey, 1969
Very much sought after Turkish 1st pressing, with unique cover designed by a Melodi Records employee and artist by the name of Betül Atlı (who also designed the Iron Butterfly In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida cover). These seldom are up for sales and unfortunately it's very difficult to find copies with excellent cover because of its flimsy material.
The Turkish co-founder and then top executive of Atlantic Ahmet Ertegun (who signed the first contract of the Led Zeppelin with Atlantic) approved it and it was printed for Turkey only.
To my knowledge there are multiple variations of this Turkish release, summarized as follows:
on cover:
- with or without "Filmler cali grafik Baski Azim Matbaasi" on bottom right of back cover (i.e. graphics by, printed by)
- pale white/beige or darker beige background on front
- lighter or darker yellow/orange (top to bottom) Led Zeppelin II title on front top left
- with or without the cat # and "stereo" on bottom right
on labels:
- serif and sans serif font (usually the sans serif version has "Led Zeppelin II" centered under the Atlantic logo on the upper part of the label while the serif version is shifted to the right and not centered)
- some prints have correct tracks list, while others have the side 2 tracks on label one, and side 1 tracks on label 2
All the variants have a misspelled title "Rample On" instead of "Ramble On" on label but not on the cover.
This variant has:
- no additional text on back bottom
- darker beige background and darker yellow/orange title on front
- with cat # and "stereo" on bottom right
- reversed tracks list on labels
- sans serif font on labels
Condition is:
VG/G+.
A number of hairlines and superficial lines on the records, cover aged
