Led Zeppelin IV Untitled Vinyl LP 2401012 VG+ Condition Version 8 Plum Labels.

Of 8 known 'plum' label variants, this is the 8th. Specific to this label variant are:

2. 'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under ATLANTIC on left side.
3. LED ZEPPELIN is printed above spindle hole

5. There is no Peter Grant credit, and song publishing credits are: Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.
6. Track B1 is credited on B-side label as "Misty Mountain Hop"
Sleeve is a gatefold, thick card with sealed left side edge when opened up to reveal 'The Hermit' drawing. Disc is housed in a grey card liner with credits on one side and the lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on the other. Outer glue-tabs on the left and right sides of liner.
Importantly, although Jimmy Page had got all the 'Executive Producer Peter Grant' credits removed from the labels by this time, the liner still retains this credit, bottom left side.
This release was commonly referred to as 'Led Zeppelin IV', to follow in sequence with their previous three releases, but no actual title appears on the release.
(Note# No tracktimings appear on the labels or sleeve)
Vinyl Condition is VG+ a really clean copy, has one small light needle mark on stairway to heaven that doesn’t affect playback at all. Would say close to EX condition a really nice copy
Sleeve Condition is VG has a small rip on the front cover, looks like a price sticker removal mark many years ago. Also a little edgewear, cornerwear and spinewear. Has sticker on rear cover as this was the last plum label before transitioning over to green and orange.
Inner Condition is G+ has a split in the bottom spine,
