Description
Led Zeppelin’s fourth (and some would say best) album, catalogue No. 2401012 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. An excellent example of this original 1971 UK FIRST PRESSING. This has the famous ‘Pecko Duck’ and ‘Porky’ etchings in the run off grooves on each side. As with all these early Zeppelin pressings the power they got into those grooves is astonishing ! This recording has tremendous power and surges out of the speakers and (very pleasantly) kicks you in the aural senses !! Bonzo’s drums are always a revelation and here it feels like you’re right there with him when He’s pounding out ‘Four Sticks’ and ‘When The Levee Breaks’. The detail and clarity of the quieter passages in ‘Stairway’ and ‘The Battle Of Evermore’ are wonderful. The vinyl has a glossy sheen, there are a couple of light marks on either side but these do not affect playback. I cannot remember ANY CLICKS OR POPS throughout the whole record just some crackles on run ins and in a few very quiet passages and I would grade the vinyl as EX. The sleeve is in FANTASTIC condition ! There is only very little wear apparent on the edges having been kept in protective sleeve since new. This easily grades as EX+. The soft card inner sleeve is in good order but has a split on one side and at the bottom and a small tear to the top edge. A great example of an awesome record by an awesome band captured at the height of their powers !!
