LED ZEPPELIN "FOUR SYMBOLS"(THE 4th LP) 

ATLANTIC RED/MAROON/WHITE LABEL:2401012

A//3+ B//4 MATRIXES+ THE"PORKY" AND "PECKO DUCK"DEAD WAX CREDITS! 

AN ORIGINAL UK POLYDOR PRESSED ATLANTIC 1971 LP WITH THE"EXECUTIVE PRODUCER BY PETER GRANT"CREDIT AND "LED ZEPPELIN"AT THE BOTTOM AREA OF THE LABELS(SEE PHOTO #3).

LATER PRESSINGS HAVING STICKER LABELS OVER THE PETER GRANT CREDITS OR NO PETER GRANT CREDIT AT ALL AND OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF PRESSINGS THAT TURN UP HAVE THE LATER ATLANTIC LABEL DESIGN WITH"K"PREFIXES AND DIFFERENT CATALOGUE NUMBERS WHICH ARE MORE COMMON AND FAR LESS VALUABLE!

 HOUSED IN A GATEFOLD COVER WITH SLIGHT RING WEAR AT THE BACK,SOME EDGE CREASES AND A LITTLE EDGE WEAR BUT NO RIPS,WRITING,STAINS OR REPAIRS.

THE LYRIC INNER SLEEVE IS MUCH DARKER THAN LATER REPRINTS AND HAS A FEW FAULTS:

A COUPLE OF TINY EDGE TEARS ONE SIDE AND A LARGER ONE ON THE OTHER SIDE.THE LARGER ONE,ABOUT 7 CM NEAR THE TOP HAD AN ATTEMPTED SMALL SELLOTAPE REPAIR,THE TAPE HAS SINCE BEEN REMOVED LEAVING A SMALL STAIN.

THERE IS A SPLIT AT EACH CENTRE POINT OF THE OTHER SIDES ALL MEASURING APPROX 8CM EACH,THE BOTTOM ONE HAVING HAD A SELLOTAPE REPAIR,THE TAPE HAVING BEEN REMOVED LEAVING A "STRIP STAIN".

THERE IS HOWEVER NO WRITING OR MAJOR DAMAGE AND IN TIME YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIND ANOTHER BUT REMEMBER THE DARKER PRINTING-NO INCORRECT MIXING AND MATCHING FROM ME!!

AN ADDITIONAL ORIGINAL 1970s POLYLINED INNER INCLUDED TO PREVENT MORE DAMAGE TO THE LYRIC INNER! 

THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST IN DEMAND PRESSINGS OF THIS LED ZEPPELIN LP AND INDEED ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs OF THE 1970s IN THIS FORM! 

THE RECORD IS NOT BRILLIANT BUT PLAYS GREAT,FULLY DESCRIBED BELOW AND  IF NOTHING ELSE IS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG BEARING IN MIND MINT VALUES TEND TO BE ABOUT £200 AS SUGGESTED IN THE NEW RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE!This is one of the most important albums of the rock era.

It only turns up only once in a blue moon as an original issue but PLEASE READ THE GRADING DESCRIPTION VERY CAREFULLY ON THIS ITEM WHICH IS  BELOW MY USUAL STANDARDS BUT MUST BE WELL WORTH IT AS A GAP FILLER UNTIL A BETTER ONE COMES ALONG WHICH MAY BE AN EXPENSIVE AND RARE CHANCE TO HAPPEN.  

THE DISC HAS SEVERAL MARKS INCLUDING ONE RIGHT ACROSS ONE SIDE-SOUNDING INTERMITTENTLY ON THE FIRST TRACK,MOST OF THE TIME IT IS"LOST"IN THE LOUD PASSAGES.

A FEW ISOLATED CLICKS ON OTHER TRACKS.

SOME SMALL SCUFFS BUT ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE,SOME MINOR SHORT LIVED CLICKS,SOME VERY SLIGHT DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE PEAKS ,IT GENERALLY PLAYS REALLY WELL WITH LOTS OF DEEP BASS AND OF COURSE THE LOUDNESS OF THE MUSIC COVERS UP MOST OF THE SURFACE NOISE BUT MOST SERIOUS COLLECTORS WILL OWN A 2ND OR EVEN LATER PRESSING TO PLAY AND TO HAVE THIS ONE AS A SOUVENIR/GAP FILLER.

SUPER LABELS WITH NO WRITING,NO SPINDLE WEAR,NO STAINING etc. 

I PLAYED IT THROUGH ON TWO DIFFERENT DECKS 4 TIMES AND TAKING ALL OF THE ABOVE IT PLAYS REALLY WELL,FAR BETTER THAN THE INITIAL INSPECTION WOULD SUGGEST!

NORMALLY SUCH COPIES OF LPs IN THIS CONDITION ARE THROWN OUT BY ME,WITH JUST THE COVER RETAINED FOR FUTURE USE BUT AS EXCELLENT OR EVEN NEAR MINT COPIES ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND,FETCHING AT LEAST £200,I CONSIDER THIS COPY TO BE WELL WORTH HAVING IN THE MEANTIME AND IN BETWEEN TIME!!!

BETTER THAN NOTHING AND WITH A VERY TEMPTING AND REALISTIC TEMPTING £20 START!

JUST TO HAVE THE ULTRA RARE LABEL VARIATION IS WELL WORTH £20!!!   

Here is your chance to get one of the rarest ROCK LPs of 1971 and indeed the last 40 years! 

COULD BE A GREAT INVESTMENT EVEN IN THIS CONDITION!  

 MOST WERE OFTEN PLAYED ON POOR QUALITY EQUIPMENT AND A FAVOURITE FOR PARTIES TO SATISFY DIFFERENT MOODS!

THE TRACKS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

BLACK DOG

ROCK AND ROLL

THE BATTLE OF EVERMORE

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP

FOUR STICKS

GOING TO CALIFORNIA

WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS 

****************************************** 

IF THIS DON'T SELL ON EBAY-IT WILL BE BOUND TO BE SNAPPED UP BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHERE TO FIND ME SO DON'T LEAVE IT AND REGRET IT LATER!

A STRICTLY GRADED"NEAR VG"CONDITION LP BUT THE GENERAL SOUND IS NEARER TO VG+++.MOST OF THE LOUDER TRACKS EVEN SOUNDING"EX"WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE AT ALL!!.

A REALISTIC AND INSANE LOW £20 START.

THE SLIDING SCALE OF VALUE IN THE RECORD COLLECTOR PRICE GUIDE WOULD SUGGEST A £200 MINT VALUED LP WOULD BE WORTH £60 IN GOOD++++ CONDITION AND AS THIS IS A LOT BETTER SOUNDING THAN GOOD++++, £20 IS THE RIGHT STARTING PRICE IN MY OPINION TO GET THE BALL ROLLING-YOU COULD BAG THE LED ZEP BARGAIN OF THE YEAR!! 

FREE POSTAGE TO ANYONE IN THE UK INCLUDING RECORDED DELIVERY.

EUROPE £5 REST OF THE WORLD £7.

I LISTEN WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO DETECT ANY FAULTS.

MY AIM IS THE WINNER WILL GET IT AND CONSIDER IT AS DESCRIBED OR HOPEFULLY BETTER THAN THEY EXPECTED WITH THE OPINION OF MANY THAT THE DISC'S SOUND ITSELF IS NEARER TO EVEN EX THAN NEAR VG!
