Description

Offered is the 1st Edition Monarch Pressing of Led Zeppelin IV  in investment-grade EX+ condition.

Wikipedia  says this about the release:
 

The untitled fourth studio album by the English band, commonly known as Led Zeppelin IV, was released on 8 November 1971 on the Atlantic label. It was produced by guitarist Jimmy Page and recorded between December 1970 and February 1971, mostly in the country house Headly Grange. 

The informal setting at Headley Grange inspired the band, and allowed them to try different arrangements of material and create songs in a variety of styles. After the band's previous album (III) received lukewarm reviews from critics, they decided their fourth album would officially be untitled, and would be represented instead by four symbols chosen by each band member, without featuring the name or any other details on the cover. This has led to confusion and disagreement with fans and critics over what to call it.

The album was a commercial and critical success and is Led Zeppelin's best-selling, shipping over 37 million copies worldwide. It has become one of the biggest-selling albums in the US, while critics have regularly placed it on lists of the greatest albums of all time.
