Description
Led Zeppelin-Untitled-K 50008-Atlantic-1971-Made in the UK, 3rd Pressing in Near Mint condition. Led Zeppelin planted the seeds of heavy metal in the 1970s, cementing English rock as one of the best-selling genres of all time. This has led to six number-one albums, five that are certified Diamond, and a well-earned place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They are sometimes called the Beatles of the 70s because of how much they have influenced the bands to come.For every number one album, however, there’s a cover variant or label mistake that is now an incredibly rare collector’s item. Led Zeppelin’s legendary untitled fourth album has a ton of issues and variances in terms of the labeling and pressing. Its mysterious marketing and guest musicians made this the highest-selling Zeppelin album of all time.
The first issue has an upside-down feather on the B side; the second issue doesn’t. The third issue has a “Misty Mountain Hop” mislabel and the 5th issue corrected it. The incorrect top labels and missing information make different issues of this album variable in price, but the rare 1st pressing with the upside-down feather can sell for $600.
Did you know?
Page was warned by the producers not to go with an untitled album. After Led Zeppelin III underperformed, Page wanted to add an abstract level of mystery to this one, labeling the album only with four symbols drawn by the band members. The strategy worked since this album sold more than any Zeppelin album had. Its alternate titles include Four Symbols, ZoSo, and Runes.
