Product Information

Also 1st Issues Have Uncorrected Matrix Numbers On Run Out, Later Pressings Have The Letter 8 Crossed Out The whole album had a very upbeat quality to it,” said engineer Eddie Kramer. “A much brighter sound than on earlier Zeppelin albums.

Led Zeppelin’s legendary untitled fourth album has a ton of issues and variances in terms of the labeling and pressing. Its mysterious marketing and guest musicians made this the highest-selling Zeppelin album of all time. Some copies could have panel inside gatefold glued upside down, see pic (this comes with vinyl that has runouts variant 5).

Reproductions might also have different colored vinyl and list "LZ-A" and "LZ-B" on the corresponding sides of the deadwax, rather than the catalogue number.

Pressed/manufactured & distributed under license in the UK by Polydor Records Limited and utilizing the Polydor catalog# series for the UK. Note also the phrase on B2, "She's A Woman", later becomes "She's Just A Woman" on subsequent releases. The Song Remains The Same became the latest in a string of classic Zeppelin album openers. Originally called first The Overture and then The Campaign, it was only when Plant started scribbling verses for it that it ceased to be an instrumental and became his paean to the music of the world, whatever form it takes. Recorded in the immediate wake of Plant suffering a serious car accident while holidaying in Rhodes, Presence is an album captured as on-the-hoof as anything can be that involves a vocalist in a wheelchair. After just 18 days in Munich’s Musikland, Zeppelin emerged with an album that, while a predictably massive commercial success, is hardly their best. Nor is it their worst.
