 LED ZEPPELIN IV

Label: Version 1
Original issue, Grant credit & inverted feather logo on B-side
Label: Version 2

Label: Version 3
As Version 1 misprinted inverted feather logo on B-side, but with two label over-stickers.

SO THE ONE I HAVE LISTED BELOW, IS A VERY EARLY PRESSING, AS IT COMES AFTER THE STICKERED LABELS TO COVER THE PETER GRANT CREDITS, AND SO IS THE MISPRINT, "MISTY MOUNTAIN TOP', LABEL : VERSION 5, AND SO HIGHLY COLLECTABLE, AND IT PLAYS SUPERB, AS ALL WE BE EXPLAINED BELOW, THANK YOU....
THIS IS LED ZEPPELIN, AND MY FAVOURITE BAND OF ALL TIME, AND I WOULD SAY THIS ALBUM IS THE GREATEST PROG ROCK ALBUM OF ALL TIME. THIS, THEIR 4th ALBUM, AND WAS ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 1971, ( AS DESCRIBED ABOVE ). THEY WERE FORMED IN LONDON IN 1968, AND I THINK YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE STORY !!!!
DISCLAIMER :: ALL MY LP'S LISTED ON THIS SITE ARE ORIGINAL AND NOT FAKE OR COUNTERFEIT, AND ARE SOLD IN GOOD FAITH. THEY WERE BOUGHT ON THE DATE OF ISSUE. THANK YOU !! 
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1971 UK MISTY MOUNTAIN TOP MISPRINT PRESS ( AS DESCRIBED ABOVE ) :: 240 1012  (B// CROSSED OUT) A//3  'PECKO DUCK' ::  240 1012  B//4  'PORKY' .
ON THE RED AND PLUM ATLANTIC LABEL :: 240 1012.   

COVER ::  ORIGINAL EARIEST GATEFOLD WITH THE HERMITS LANTERN INSIDE THE GATEFOLD, BEING DARK SILVER IN COLOUR. THE SPINE AND EDGES ARE SOLID WITH SOME SHELF WEAR THE FULL LENGTH ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES, WITH SOME SHELF ALONG ONE EDGE OF THE SPINE EDGE. INSIDE THE GATEFOLD VERY NICE AND THE BACK HAS SOME LIGHT SHELF WEAR AND SOME AGE RELATED MARKS, SEEN BETTER IF YOU LOOK AT THE PHOTOS, THANK YOU. THERE IS NO UNWANTED WRITING SO STILL VERY PRESENTABLE AND SOLID, AND WITH NOTHING ELSE I WOULD GRADE  :: VG+ .

VINYL :: YOU WILL BE PLEASED TO KNOW THE VINYL PLAYS SUPERB, SO CERTAINLY NO SKIPS, STICKS, JUMPS, POPS, CLICKS, STATIC, OR CRACKLE ON THIS VINYL, HOWEVER THERE ARE A FEW COSMETICS WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN BELOW, AND ALL I HEARD WAS....

SIDE 1 :: JUST BEAUTIFUL CLEAR AUDIO, WITH JUST THREE FAINT TICKS AFTER THE START OF TRACK 3.

SIDE 2 :: AGAIN JUST BEAUTIFUL CLEAR AUDIO, WITH ONE SINGLE VERY FAINT TICK AT THE START, AND FOUR FAINT TICKS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRACK 3.

VISUALLY, AWAY FROM BRIGHT LIGHT THE VINYL LOOKS LOVELY, AND UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, AS YOU CAN SEE BY THE AUDIO DESCRIPTION, JUST SOME FAINT SLEEVE REMOVAL SPIDER WEB THREAD ULTRA FINE LINES, AND JUST A COUPLE OF VERY FAINT HAIRLINES, WITH THREE TINY MORE NOTICEABLE HARMLESS LOOKING THIN MARKS, ON SIDE 1. THERE IS ONE AT THE VERY END OF TRACK 1, AND AT THE VERY START OF TRACK 2, AND THE OTHER TWO CLOSE TOGETHER AT THE END OF TRACK 2. ALL SOUNDS BAD, BUT HONESTLY JUST A VISUAL THING UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT, AND IF YOU ARE OKAY ABOUT THE VISUAL, THEN YOU WILL GET YOURSELF A TOP PLAYING RED PLUM ZEP 4 VINYL !!!! SO WITH NOTHING ELSE, I GRADE THE AUDIO, A VERY STRONG ::  EX/EX+ .

LABELS :: VERY NICE, WITH JUST SOME LIGHT SPINDLE MARKS, AT THE CENTRE, SEEN UNDER BRIGHT LIGHT ::  EX .

INNER :: NOW THIS IS A BIT OF A MYSTERY, AS IT DOES NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL INNER. I ALWAYS KEEP THE INNERS WITH THEIR VINYLS AND COVERS, SO LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE HAS SWOPPED THE ORIGINAL FOR A POLYLINED INNER, WITHOUT TELLING ME, SO SORRY IT WILL COME, IN A,' PLASTIC BAGS CAN BE DANGEROUS POLYLINED INNER', WITH NO WRITING OR SPLITS, AND NICE AND CLEAN, AND THE VINYL WILL COME IN A NEW POLYLINED INNER ALONG WITH THE ONE DESCRIBED ABOVE :: VG+/EX- .
