Notes
This is one of 8 verified and known 'plum' label variants. Inner sleeve has lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on one side, and track titles and credits on the other. It is dark gray and constructed with two foldback edges to each side.
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 GRADING SYSTEM
Please find below the standard grading system used for describing the record condition. Hopefully this avoids confusion. Thanks
Very Good (VG)
A VG-rated vinyl has experienced a lot of use. It’s still useable, but it’ll carry a few distortions. Ranked above a G-rated record, a VG-rated record often carries pops and clicks. It might have light visible scratches, and it may have split edges. For the most part, a VG-rated record is undamaged. Upon closer inspection, however, its use will be apparent—both visually and audibly.
Very Good Plus (VG+)
The next step up, a VG+ record has little faults. A VG+ record may have several inaudible marks and a little rub. Its audio will likely have slight background crackle. As with a VG record, however, close inspection may reveal its age.
Excellent (E)
An Excellent record is similar to a VG+ record. Its light marks will be difficult to spot, however, as will be its audio distortions. A lot of E rated records have been in and out of their sleeve only a few times. A handful or less of hairlines may be present. Their minute signs of use, generally, reflect high-quality care.
Near Mint (NM)
A Near Mint record is a fantastic investment. It looks glossy, and it’s clearly only been played several times. NM vinyl has little to no markings, and its package is either untouched or nearly untouched. Don’t expect to find any distortions on a NM record. In essence: A NM record is imperfect only in its one-or-two-time use.
Mint (M)
A Mint record is perfect. It’s never been played, and it might’ve never been removed from its package. It’s fully sealed, and it has no blemishes or audio distortions.
