Description

LED ZEPPELIN

Title : Led Zeppelin IV Label : Atlantic Cat No : 2401012

Matrix : 2401012 A3/B4 Issue : UK Complete 1st 'Top' Label Mispress

This is the rare UK press of Led Zeppelin IV. This complete early press can be identified by the A3/B4 matrix and the rare crossed out and then corrected matrix on Side 1. It has the original Pecko Duck and Porky handetched in the runout. It contains the rare label error 'Misty Mountain Top' instead of 'Misty Mountain Hop' and is pressed on the earliest heavy vinyl. As such the sound quality of these earlier presses is enormously superior to the flimsy later issues. This is one of the biggest multi-million selling albums of all time and yet only a few thousand presses exist with this exceptional original sound and unique 'Misty Mountain Top' label misprint. The record is complete with the 1st press only flipback printed inner sleeve and the lightweight matt gatefold sleeve.

The record in Very Good condition. The vinyl has a bright gloss, there is no whitening, however there are a number of light marks on both sides. On playing the sound is extremely bold, very bassy and vibrant with some moments of background noise. The rare label is completely clean. The colours are vivid and the white is extremely crisp. The black text is sharp and there is only light spindle wear. The 1st press only flipback dark brown printed inner sleeve is in Very Good condition. There are splits on the bottom and top edges but it is still solid and completely clean.

The matt earliest light gatefold sleeve is in Very Good condition. The picture is still superb and the colours are still warm and bright. There is a little corner and edge wear. The inside is completely clean, the black is solid and the picture is sharp. The whole sleeve is solid.
