LED ZEPPELIN  IV
                     TIME FOR ANOTHER ZEPPELIN CLASSIC FROM MY  PERSONAL VINYL COLLECTION, AND THIS  IS THEIR UNTITLED 4TH STUDIO ALBUM, AND FEATURES THE RARE STICKERED LABELS. THE INITIAL RELEASE, HAD PRODUCER JIMMY PAGE AND EXECUTIVE PRODUCER PETER GRANT AND 'LED ZEPPELIN' ON BOTTOM OF THE LABELS.  AFTER A DISPUTE WITH PETER GRANT, A STICKER WAS PLACED OVER PETER GRANT, JIMMY PAGE AND LED ZEPPELIN, WITH JUST PRODUCED BY JIMMY PAGE, AND 'LED ZEPPELIN' WAS MOVED TO THE TOP OF THE LABELS ON ANOTHER STICKER. SO STILL  A FIRST PRESS AS THE ORIGINAL 1ST PRESS LABELS ARE UNDER THE STICKERS, AND IT IS  A//3  B//3 . ALL WILL BE EXPLAINED BELOW, THANK YOU !!!!

DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !!

THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK 1ST PRESS WITH STICKERED LABELS  :: A//3  'PECKO DUCK'  ::  B//3  'PORKY' .
ON THE 1ST PRESS RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC  LABEL :: 2401012 .
COVER :: ORIGINAL GATEFOLD IN GREAT CONDITION WITH LOVELY SPINE AND EDGES, WITH THE OPENING EDGE STILL SHARP, AND NO ISSUES INSIDE THE GATEFOLD. THE ONLY THING TO MENTION IS THAT THERE IS A BIT OF PAPER LOSS TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE BACK AND A TINY BLACK SPOT MARK ON THE FRONT TOWARD THE TOP RIGHT CORNER, AND THAT'S ALL SO VERY NICE INDEED, BUT WITH THE PAPER LOSS I WILL HAVE TO GRADE :: EX . 

VINYL ::  PLAYS WITH NO SKIPS, STICKS OR JUMPS, AND NO NASTY LOUD OVER THE AUDIO TICKS, CLICKS OR POPS !!!! VISUALLY SIDE 1 AND 2 JUST HAS A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT COSMETIC SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, BUT SIDE 1 ALSO HAS EIGHT SMALL SCUFF LINES WHICH ARE GROUPED TOGETHER AND BETWEEN THEM COVER ALL FOUR TRACKS. THERE IS ONE AT THE START OF TRACK THAT IS SLIGHTLY FEELABLE, WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THERE IS NOTHING INTRUSIVE SO NOTHING TO SPOIL THE ALBUM, BUT TRACK 4 HAS A BIT MORE GOING ON. SIDE 2 PLAYS BEAUTIFUL WITH NO ISSUES. I WILL DO A TRACK BY TRACK DESCRIPTION DUE TO THE RARITY OF THIS ALBUM, AND ALSO THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THE AUDIO ACCURATE >>>>

SIDE 2 :: ALL TRACKS PLAY FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION.

SIDE 1 :: TRACK 1 :: HAS FOUR FAINT TICKS A LITTLE WAY IN, AND TWO FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE .

THREE LIGHT TICKS BETWEEN TRACKS .

TRACK 2 :: PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION.

TRACK 3 :: HAS TWO VERY FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START.

BIT OF FAINT STATIC BETWEEN TRACKS.

TRACK 4 :: HAS SOME VERY FAINT BACKGROUND POPS AT THE START, AND SEVEN LIGHT TICKS A BIT FURTHER IN. THE REST OF THE TRACK PLAYS FINE.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS TRACK 4 WITH ANYTHING OF NOTE. VISUALLY THAT SMALL GROUP OF SCUFF LINES, ARE MORE OF A VISUAL THING AS THEY HAVE NOT AFFECTED THE GROOVES, IT IS ONLY THAT SLIGHTLY FEELABLE BIT AT THE START OF TRACK 4 THAT HAS A FEW NOT THAT INTRUSIVE ISSUES. I HAVE TO BE HONEST, AND LOSE A LOT OF BIDS, BUT THIS WAY I DO NOT LOSE ANY SLEEP. NOW A VERY HARD ONE TO GRADE SO I WILL SPLIT THE GRADE INTO THREE AUDIO GRADES, WHICH ALSO WILL GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA ON THE AUDIO.

FIRSTLY SIDE 2, I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO :: EX+/NEAR MINT .

TRACK 1,2 AND 3 ON SIDE 1 I WOULD GRADE AS :: EX .

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I WOULD GRADE TRACK 4 :: VG+ . AND THAT REALLY IS JUST FOR JUST UNDER THE FIRST QUARTER OF THE TRACK, AS THE REST PLAYS FINE WITH NOTHING TO MENTION.MIDDLE .

LABELS ::  NICE AND CLEAN  :: EX+ . 

ORIGINAL INNER ::  EARLIEST 1ST PRESS WHICH IS DARKER GREY, AND ALSO HAS AN EXTRA CREDIT ON THE BACK, BOTTOM LEFT CORNER, 'PHOTOGRAPHY KEITH MORRIS'. LATER INNER'S DO NOT HAVE THIS CREDIT !!!! NICE AND CLEAN AND CREASE FREE, BUT AS USUAL, THERE ARE SEAM SPLITS. A TINY SEAM SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE ON BOTH SIDE EDGES, AND THE BOTTOM EDGE IS SEAM SPLIT THE FULL LENGTH, AND OF COURSE THE VINYL WILL COME IN ANOTHER INNER ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL :: VG . DUE ONLY TO THE SEAM SPLITS AND NOTHING ELSE !!!!

A MUST HAVE ALBUM, WITH THE RARE STICKERED LABELS !!!! PLAYS VERY WELL AND AS DESCRIBED, AND NICE SOLID COVER. THE INNER HAS THE USUAL SEAM SPLITS, BUT REALLY IS NICE AND CLEAN!!!! THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR TIME !!!! ROSE .

A VERY SILLY START PRICE AND NO RESERVE AS ALWAYS !!!!
