Description

 Led Zeppelin’s fourth (and some would say best) album, catalogue No. 2401012 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. An overall EXCELLENT example of this original 1971 UK FIRST PRESSING. This has the famous ‘Pecko Duck’ and ‘Porky’ etchings in the run off grooves on each side. As with all these early Zeppelin pressings the power they got into those grooves is astonishing ! This recording has a tremendous power and presence that surges out of the speakers and (very pleasantly) kicks you in the aural senses !! Bonzo’s drums are always a revelation and here it feels like you’re right there with him when He’s pounding out ‘Four Sticks’ and ‘When The Levee Breaks’. The detail and clarity of the quieter passages in ‘Stairway’ and ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ are wonderful. Play it at number 11 and hear why its one of the best albums ever made by any band anywhere !! Amazing !! The vinyl has a glossy sheen and only a few marks on side two. There are only some light clicks here and there throughout the record and only two louder ones on side two. I would grade the vinyl as EXCELLENT. The sleeve is in excellent condition also. There is some light wear apparent on the edges and spine. The colours are still strong and I would grade this as EXCELLENT -. The soft card inner sleeve is also in fine order apart from a small split on one side. The other side and bottom are ok and there are no tears or rips. Lastly, the labels. Again the colours are as vibrant as they were in 71. A great example of an awesome record by an awesome band captured at the height of their powers !!
