LED ZEPPELIN - Iv Album

Item Description

Vinyl, , Gatefold Sleeve
LP Album

This release resembles the UK 'Plum' Atlantic pressing but with a red/gold/plum label.

This is the 4th (of 7) known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label are:

'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, Variation 3 had a printed label in smaller type-face, and Variations 1 and 2 had the band name printed below the spindle hole in the 'plum' section.

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.

Side 2 has the following error: 'Misty Mountain Hop' is misspelt 'Misty Mountain Top'.

While the label states 'Made in Gt. Britain', the 'deep groove' in the center of the label indicates that the record itself was pressed elsewhere. It also has a gold sticker on the cover stating 'Led Zeppelin IV Album'.

It was likely pressed in SE Asia by a member of the British Commonwealth.
