Notes
Label variant: (Atco) purple/brown Stereo labels that were only produced on Atlantic releases when pressed at RCA Records Pressing plant, Indianapolis. Some say these issues are "club" issues but no proof on release. Others feel that these were created from stock Atco labels to fill the need. "Club" or press error, a very rare label.From bsnpubs: This label is rare and only appeared on a few titles from around 8130 to 8200. 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.
Also side 2 does sound a little different from the standard issue. There is a long pause between "Black Mountain Side" and "Communication Breakdown", where the standard issue had no silence at all. And there is an unusually long silence between "Communication Breakdown" and "I Can't Quit You Baby", much longer than was on the standard issue.
Please look at all pictures as they are of the actual items. Remember to click on individual photos to enlarge pictures for better viewing.
The sleeve grades VG with some seam/rub wear and a name written at the top of the back sleeve.
The vinyl has been cleaned and graded G+. The vinyl has scuffs and light scratches on both sides. I test played both sides and they are playable but with background pops throughout. I am listing this because it is a super rare label variant and might fill a hole in a collection until a nicer copy comes along.
