Led Zeppelin IV 1971 UK LP Red/Plum Vinyl LP Ver 8 A3/B4 INVERTED FEATHER

Of 8 known 'plum' label variants, this is the 8th. Specific to this label variant are:

1. 'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.
2. 'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under ATLANTIC on left side.
3. LED ZEPPELIN is printed above spindle hole
4. Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'
5. There is no Peter Grant credit, and song publishing credits are: Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.
6. Track B1 is credited on B-side label as "Misty Mountain Hop"

Sleeve is a gatefold, thick card with sealed left side edge when opened up to reveal 'The Hermit' drawing. Disc is housed in a grey card liner with credits on one side and the lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on the other. Outer glue-tabs on the left and right sides of liner.
Importantly, although Jimmy Page had got all the 'Executive Producer Peter Grant' credits removed from the labels by this time, the liner still retains this credit, bottom left side.

This release was commonly referred to as 'Led Zeppelin IV', to follow in sequence with their previous three releases, but no actual title appears on the release.

This copy - A3/B4/PECKO DUCK/PORKY

The original grey card inner sleeve has a slight split one side , and is plsit across the bottom; and there are a couple of ink marks -  please see all the photos for details.

The outer sleeve is nice clean, intact spine and very nice inside gatefold - very good condition for its age  -  please see all the photos for details.

Labels are excellent and The vinyl both sides clean, only a few light marks commensurate with age and usage -  -  please see all the photos for details.

There is light crackle throughout playback, mainly in between tracks/on lead-ins and quiet parts, no skips or sticking points. It's a very good listen thoughout 


All in all a very good playable copy of his classic rock album!
