This release is commonly referred to as "Led Zeppelin IV" to follow in sequence with the band's previous three releases, but no title is indicated on the cover. This is a factory sealed copy and its cover doesn't have any information or text, including the reference to the club edition, which could allow for determining, even approximately, the manufacture date. The only identifiers that allow for determining the manufacture date of this copy are the stickers, located on both sides of the gatefold cover. The characteristics of these stickers allow to assume that the record is a very early circa 1971~72 1st pressing. Both stickers indicate the four digit catalog number SD 7208, which was later changed to the five digit number. Additionally, what could serve as a proof of this copy being a very early 1st pressing is the "1841 Broadway, New York, N.Y 10023" address present on the large black "ZOSO" song title sticker, which was changed to "75 Rockfeller Plaza, New York, N.Y." on the repressing. However, the presence of the "1841 Broadway" address on the sticker doesn't guarantee that you'll find the same address on the labels. This pressings presents a large label variation and the vinyl inside could contain the four digit catalog number and "Broadway" address, or the four digit catalog number and "Rockfeller" address. No matter what the case is, it could be stated with confidence that these sticker could be present only on the very early pressing copies. If talking about the condition of this copy then it's close to being perfect Mint. Besides the shrink wrap being fully intact and having breathe holes, one on each side, there is nothing much to add about this stunning copy.
