Description

If the Red & Plum search for IV is starting to grate...why not opt for a Jan72 copy with - exactly the same audio on..?

Ok, so how do we spot these copies? They all look the same right...? Well...yes and no. What you need to look for in the detail is the following..NO sign of the Warners logo in the perimeter text and the perimeter text ALL residing in the southern sector. You might also note the 'Misty Mountain Top' typo/error still exhibiting on these copies. BUT the REAL interesting indicator can be found in the deadwax. The very 1st copies on Green & Orange come with the original red&plum catalogue numbers BOTH sides [very briefly, before switching to a new catalogue sequence]. You need to look for '2401012 & A3/B4'. Identical to a Red & Plum Xmas-71 copy. This copy is pressed nice and heavy too.
The vinyl comes housed in an original gatefold cover and, IMPORTANTLY, a genuine 1st issue inner sleeve. These earliest Orange and Green copies can sometimes be found with the original design inner sleeve. We are talking textured inner sleeve. No catalogue numbers top right and flipbacks EXPOSED. SO, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex/Ex+) In lovely condition and has clearly only seen light use. Under close inspection I can make out a couple of superficial marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an, at least, EXCELLENT level of playback with one slight deviation. Basically, you stand a much better chance of a top level rendition from a near-master copy at...a fraction of the price of a red & plum. Zep IV contains THREE extremely fussy ZEP acoustic numbers - and this will sort out the good copies from the great copies. Evermore/Stairway/California are hellishly difficult to find playing really clean. They were often played to death on most copies. Properly preserved clean players are extremely sought after. And when you give one a spin...you'll find out why. The audio is superb. Ok, so the up tempo numbers are gonna rock out like nothing else - that's a given. But those THREE acoustic numbers are playing really clean. All I could make out was a couple of crackles in a couple of spots in that intro to Stairway [and one isolated tick]. Much better than you typically find. A really entertaining and highly accomplished rendition. >>VFM by the bucket load<<<.
Cover (Vg) Not up to the standard of the vinyl - but acceptable. Surfaces are flat and exhibit a bit of ageing and three nicks just to the right of the Hermit [blended in]. The interior is in nice condition with some light handling and a couple of spots of leftover tape residue. There's some edge wear in places and a one inch wear-through in the middle of the bottom edge of the right panel [internally tape repaired]. The spine exhibits some ageing and some wear. Overall the cover retains very good rigidity.
Inner (Vg-) It's a genuine original and early inner. Some ageing apparent. Please note each seam has split and has been taped up to secure.
