LED ZEPPELIN - Untitled

Item Description

Vinyl, , Version 7, Gatefold Sleeve
LP Album

There are currently 8 verified and known 'plum' label variants.

This is the 7th (of 8) known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label are:

Track B1 is credited on B-side label as "Misty Mountain Hop"

Feather logo at 2 o'clock is upside down.

'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.

'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under ATLANTIC on left side.

LED ZEPPELIN is printed above spindle hole.

Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'

There is no Peter Grant credit and song publishing credits are:
Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.

This upside down feather is specific to this label variant and the very first label only, as it was corrected on Variants 2 and 4, but turns up again on Variant 3, 6 and 7 (This one) and is corrected again on Variant 8 which is the last pressing on the 'plum' label.

Inner sleeve has lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on one side and track titles and credits on the other. The first inner sleeves are dark gray with two foldback edges to the side. Interestingly, whilst Jimmy Page succeeded in having the Peter Grant credit removed from the labels, they were never removed from the inner sleeves.

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.
