Description
RUSSIAN pressing from Antrop plant
ANTROP П91 00145/148
Led Zeppelin IV AND Led Zeppelin V, usually referred to as "Untitled" and "Houses of the Holy", in one package, as a double LP.
This was produced in 1991 during the Perestroika period where Russia was beginning to open up to the West. As the legend goes, these pressings were officially licensed and tapes were officially supplied to the plant. At about the same time the Soviet Union started to fall apart, and the result was economic lawlessness and free-for-all. It appears the Russian label started to do their own thing particularly with sleeves - hence this highly unusual sleeve variation. It is pretty outrageous, but that is the sort of thing that happened over there at the time (look for my other auctions for other examples). All of it makes it a highly collectible item, and a must for a true LedZep collector.
The LP's are new, never listened to. However, the album is not sealed. That's why I'm listing it as a M-, not fully mint. Back in the USSR they did not seal their records. Never. Probably didn't have the shrink wrap to do it (seriously). You'll have to trust me, I was in Russia at the time, and bought a few copies as soon as they came out. This particular copy was properly stored all this time.
Happy bidding!
