Description
Led Zeppelin’s fourth album, catalogue No. 2401012 on the UK Atlantic Red/Plum label. AN excellent RARE, EARLIEST FIRST PRESSING of this 1971 UK example !! What signifies this as one of the earliest records off the press are THE LABELS. The more common LATER labels have no Peter Grant 'executive producer' credit, along with Page's producer credit on the purple half of the label below the 'Led Zeppelin' legend. On the LATER labels, Grant's credit has been removed completely and the 'Led Zeppelin' legend moved up into the red half of the label. ALSO ! The LATER labels have the legend 'Under License From Atlantic Recording Corp' written into the white band in the centre of the label. On this earliest copy, this is written into the red half of the label. This copy also has the famous ‘Pecko Duck’ and ‘Porky’ etchings in the run off grooves on each side. Visibly, the vinyl has a few scuffs but plays with only a smattering of light clicks here and there. There is one louder click at the end of 'Black Dog'. The best thing is the lack of any apparent groove wear as there is NO DISTORTION. the audio is CLEAR AND POWERFUL, sounding ONLY as these original first UK pressings do. It has got to grade at least as EXCELLENT- (minus). The sleeve is in very good condition also with only slight wear to the edges and spine and no tears, rips or writing. The sleeve grades as EXCELLENT. The original soft card inner sleeve is in EXCELLENT CONDITION with NO SPLITS. Lastly, the labels are in EXCELLENT condition (they do not have the 'bleached' look as in the photo. This is a fault of my camera). A GREAT EXAMPLE of an awesome record, by the best band on the planet, captured at the height of their powers !!
