TITLE: Led Zeppelin
LABEL/YEAR: Atlantic SD 8216 (1969) Very rare brown (or gold) & purple labels. Here's what Both Sides Now Album Discographies says: Another Atlantic label variation was used on a few titles during 1968 and early 1969, where the Atco label blank was used instead of the Atlantic label blank. These may have been RCA Record Club pressings. The label was purple at the top and gold on the bottom, with black printing. A white band ran through the record slightly above the center, as on the Atco label and unlike the Atlantic design of the time where the white band was centered. The black printing graphics were the same as the "black fan label," except the word "STEREO" appeared under the left side of the white band running across the middle of the label (like the Atco stereo label and unlike the black fan label's positioning of "STEREO" in white letters at the top of the label). This label is rare and only appeared on a few titles from around 8130 to 8200. Both Time Peace by the Rascals [SD 8190] and the first Led Zeppelin album [SD 8216] are known to have been pressed with this labeling error. The Led Zeppelin album error commands premium prices, since not only is the label in error, but side 1 of the album is a different mix from the regular pressing. I don't know about the different mix part of this, I didn't really notice it.
CONDITION: Vinyl is VG with some scuffing and light scratches. I have play graded the entire album and it plays very well, some background noise between tracks and soft passages but nothing at all overwhelming. Side two has a couple "wide" type scrapes or scuffs that worried me but it played through just fine. There are no heavy revolution ticks or skips on my system. Sounds like Zep on vinyl to me, the way it should be heard! The cover is VG, has the letter "L" written in blue ink in the upper right corner and a dinged lower right corner. No splits.
