Description

It is widely known that Led Zeppelin refused to release their radio classic "Stairway to Heaven" as a 45 RPM single.  This has made the song the most famous radio hit that was never available as a single.  But the song was pressed onto 45 RPM vinyl to service to radio stations for airplay, and here is one of those original radio-only singles that has been saved by an Atlantic Records promotion staff member all these years.

You may have seen several versions of "Stairway to Heaven" 45s on the collector's market - commemorative, created for juke-box play, international versions, etc.  Atlantic PR-175 with "Stairway to Heaven" in stereo on one side and mono on the other is the original version released to U.S. radio, and as such is just about the closest we'll ever get to having "Stairway to Heaven" as an official American single.

The 45 is in perfect shape, and comes in its original paper sleeve as pictured.  Obviously, this record is rare and out of print.
