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


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.
