Notes

There are currently 8 verified and known 'plum' label variants.

This is the 7th (of 8) known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label are:

Track B1 is credited on B-side label as "Misty Mountain Hop"

Feather logo at 2 o'clock is upside down.

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

'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under ATLANTIC on left side.

LED ZEPPELIN is printed above spindle hole.

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

There is no Peter Grant credit and song publishing credits are:
Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.

This upside down feather is specific to this label variant and the very first label only, as it was corrected on Variants 2 and 4, but turns up again on Variant 3, 6 and 7 (This one) and is corrected again on Variant 8 which is the last pressing on the 'plum' label.

Inner sleeve has lyrics to 'Stairway to Heaven' on one side and track titles and credits on the other. The first inner sleeves are dark gray with two foldback edges to the side. Interestingly, whilst Jimmy Page succeeded in having the Peter Grant credit removed from the labels, they were never removed from the inner sleeves.

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.

    Looking to the printed inner sleeves: which one is the earliest version - the 4 line credits, or the 5 line credits one (showing also the PHOTOGRAPHY . KEITH . MORRIS .)? I'm asking, because I can't believe, that both versions appeared at the same time.
    Thanks in advance for helping me.

      Matrix matches this version for Side A , however, it matches the Side B of another version: https://discogs.programascracks.com/release/3075403-Led-Zeppelin-Untitled

      Side A: 2401012** A//313 8 PECKO DUCK
      Side B: 2401012** B//312 10 PORKY

      any recommendations? Anyone else have this mismatch?

        I’ve got a A3-B4 copy without Grant as executive producer on label.
        Inverted feather on side 2.
        However on side 1 on the label, at the top between stereo and the symbols, is HMG in large letters... I can’t find any reference to this anywhere.
        Anyone got any ideas please which version it is?
        I’ll add a pic of side 1 label so you can see what I’m on about.
