LED ZEPPELIN IN ~ 1971 LP ATLANTIC rare Plum / Orange label, read on:

My research:

CLASSIC ALBUM, RARE EARLY / FIRST PRESSING! Both labels have stickers covering information that apparently, Jimmy Page did not want visible.

Labels are red and plum classic Atlantic design... However, there are various unique differences with genuine first pressings. On the very first run (a few hundred escaped) "Under licence from Atlantic Recording Corp." appears ABOVE the white stripe (and not inside it), with the band name appearing in the bottom half with Executive Producer Peter Grant label text. These were quickly replaced with new labels with the Peter Grant credit removed, publishing info added and LED ZEPPELIN appearing on the top half of the label.

This copy has colour matched stickers, with the lower purple one covering the offending Peter Grant and adding publishers. Since this sticker covered where the band name was, a red background sticker with LED ZEPPELIN, was placed in the space below the four symbols in the top half. This looks like a later press, but is in fact, a rare CORRECTED version of the very first pressing. There are very few copies of this corrected label, a must for any serious Led Zeppelin fan.

GRADING: 

MINT (M): The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint. 

EXCELLENT (EX): The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

VERY GOOD (VG): The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

GOOD (G): The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration, etc.

FAIR (F): The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

POOR (P): The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

BAD (B): The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
