Led Zeppelin IV (Untitled)

1971 First UK Pressing Version 2


'Plum' Atlantic pressing on red/white/plum label.


This is the 2nd (of 8) verified and known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label variant are:


Variation label of the 1st pressing - Feather symbol on Side 2 has been corrected and is the right way up.

Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'

'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.

The 'Under licence from Atlantic Recording Corpn., U.S.A.' text is printed above the white centre strip,

and omitting the music publisher, "Superhype Music Inc", credit.

also it has the distinctive 'Peter Grant' credit at the bottom label.


The music credits on this label variation state only "Kinney Music Ltd,"

"Led Zeppelin" printed in the plum area on bottom label just under the track titles in smaller lettering.


"Kinney Music Ltd."

"LED ZEPPELIN"

"Produced By Jimmy Page."

"Executive Producer Peter Grant."


The insert is most likely from a later pressing since the line for photography-Keith Morris is left blank.

The insert also has a seam split on the bottom and right sides and has a crease going down the middle of the side with the track listings.


The matrix numbers are as follows:

Side 1- 2401012 XX // A//3 115 PECKO DUCK

(The XX are crossed over a 3 and the second 1 in 115 is reversed)

Side 2- 2401012 B//3 121 PORKY


The record was played on a Rega Planar 6 and sounds fantastic without any skips or jumps. There is light crackle in the quieter parts and very light superficial marks on the vinyl.


This record will be shipped via USPS with insurance.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or reasonable offers.


Thanks for looking
