Led Zeppelin IV UK Atlantic plum-label original

Updated 2026-05-12 · 1 merchant listed

Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album (1971) is one of the most-pressed rock records of the 1970s. The UK first pressing on Atlantic K 50008 with the "plum" purple label and the gatefold cover featuring the four-symbols artwork is the desirable pressing. Matrix A//1 / B//1 marks the earliest stamper.

Pricing in 2026: EUR 80-300 for clean UK plum-label originals.

Buying advice

Lyric inner sleeve (with "Stairway to Heaven" lyrics) must be present and uncreased for full value. Most surviving copies lack this.

The gatefold and outer sleeve printing details (cover finish, font, no "33 RPM" print) help confirm UK origin. German Atlantic pressings exist with the plum label too and are sonically excellent but worth less.
