Description
Led Zeppelin IV • Purple Translucent Vinyl • UK Atlantic K 50008 • A3/B4 Matrix • Allen Mastering • EX + Lyric Sheet
About This Copy
Stunning UK pressing of Led Zeppelin’s legendary untitled fourth album (Four Symbols/Runes) on beautiful translucent purple vinyl. Fully verified factory specs — A3/B4 matrix, "Allen" mastering, complete with the rare original Stairway to Heaven lyric sheet. Audiophiles prize this all-analogue cut for its massive, wide dynamic range — particularly John Bonham’s thunderous drum track on "When the Levee Breaks". A premium collector-grade copy.
Pressing Verification
- Label: Atlantic green & orange buffalo design
- Catalogue: K 50008 • K 50008 B*
- Matrix: Side 1 — A3 • Side 2 — B4 (factory-stamped)
- Mastering: "Allen" etched in dead wax — premium all-analogue cut
- Origin: Made in UK • Stereo
- Era: Late 70s/early 80s repress — NOT 1971 1st press
- Vinyl: Translucent purple/magenta — vivid colour when held to light
- Included: ✅ Original Stairway to Heaven lyric sheet — intact & unmarked
Condition
Vinyl VG+ — Deep purple gloss. Only faint hairlines under direct light — nothing audible. Plays beautifully with warm, full-bodied sound. No skips, warp, or heavy noise. Labels clean, minimal spindle wear.
Sleeve EX — Exceptional gatefold. Bright artwork, NO ringwear, creases, fading, or splits. Spine fully legible, corners sharp. Gatefold inner crisp — exceptionally preserved.
Inner VG+ — Original Atlantic paper inner, intact & clean.
Lyric Sheet EX — ✅ Original Stairway to Heaven insert — fully intact, no tears/writing. Rarely survives complete.
Why This Stands Out
- A3/B4 + Allen mastering — precise identifiers collectors hunt. Allen credit = superior all-analogue sound
- Purple vinyl — always in demand, stunning display piece
- EX sleeve — most have ringwear/splits; this is near-flawless — huge premium
- ✅ Lyric sheet included — most copies lost this. Complete = major value boost
- Investment Grade: Pristine colour-vinyl pressings with clean sleeves & all inserts climb in value yearly
- 100% complete — purple vinyl + A3/B4 Allen + EX gatefold + inner + lyric sheet = exceptional copy
