Description
A RARE FIRST PRESSING OF LED ZEPPELIN'S 1971 FOURTH UK ALBUM RELEASE .
LED ZEPPELIN ‘LED ZEPPELIN 1V (FOUR SYMBOLS)’ – A 1971 FIRST PRESS, A/3 B/3 MADE IN Gt. BRITAIN ATLANTIC RECORD LABEL STEREO VINYL LP IN GATE-FOLD SLEEVE WITH INNER, CATALOGUE NUMBER, deluxe 2401002.
The untitled fourth studio album by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV, was released on 8 November 1971 on Atlantic Records. Produced by guitarist Jimmy Page, it was recorded between December 1970 and March 1971 at several locations, most prominently the Victorian house Headley Grange. After the group's 1970 album Led Zeppelin III received lukewarm reviews from critics, Page decided their fourth album would officially be untitled. This, along with the inner sleeve's design featuring four symbols that represented each band member, led to the album being referred to variously as the Four Symbols logo, Four Symbols, The Fourth Album, Untitled, Runes, The Hermit, and ZoSo (which was derived from Page's symbol). In addition to lacking a title, the original cover featured no band name, as the group wished to be anonymous and to avoid easy pigeonholing by the press.
Below is the information for this rare first Press LP.
