Description
Led Zeppelin’s fourth (and some would say best) album, catalogue No. 2401012 on the Atlantic Red/Plum label. A very good example of this original 1971 UK FIRST PRESSING. Matrices are A3 and B3. This copy has the famous ‘Pecko Duck’ and ‘Porky’ etchings in the run off grooves on each side and the 'Misty Mountain TOP' mis-spelling. The labels are on the WRONG SIDES of the disc. So Side two label is actually side one and vice versa !! I have heard about these rare copies but this is the first one I have ever seen !! As with all these early Zeppelin pressings the power they got into those grooves is astonishing ! This recording has tremendous power and surges out of the speakers and (very pleasantly) kicks you in the aural senses !! Bonzo’s drums are always a revelation and here it feels like you’re right there with him when He’s pounding out ‘Four Sticks’ and ‘When The Levee Breaks’. There are only a very few light clicks throughout the whole record and none of these are loud. Some surface crackle in the quietest parts. I would grade the vinyl as VG. The cover would grade as EX but for a silly transfer in the top left corner. The printed inner grades as good. A very good example of an awesome record by an awesome band captured at the height of their powers !!
