Description
Led Zeppelin’s fourth (and some would say best) album, catalogue No. 2401012 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. A great 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 and the oddly, more rare 'Misty Mountain HOP' correct spelling. These are actually far less common than the mis-spelt 'Mountain Top' copies. Matrices are A3 and B4. As with all these early Zeppelin pressings the power they got into those grooves is astonishing ! This recording has tremendous power and 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 vinyl is in UNMARKED PRISTINE condition and has a mirror like sheen ! There are NO CLICKS OR POPS throughout the whole record ! Some barely audible surface crackles in the very quietest parts but not all of them. I would grade the vinyl as NEAR MINT . The cover grades as EXCELLENT - with no defects, just some wear to the corners of the spine. The inner sleeve grades as VG+ with about a 7cm split on one side. Very common for this inner and otherwise in excellent condition. The labels are as bright as the day they were printed and have ONLY VERY SLIGHT spindle marks indicating little use ! A FANTASTIC example of an awesome record by an awesome band captured at the height of their powers !!
