Lot #71: Led Zeppelin – Led Zeppelin IV Vintage 1971 First Canadian Pressing Vinyl LP

Up for bidding is a highly collectible first Canadian pressing of one of the greatest rock albums of all time: Led Zeppelin’s untitled fourth studio album (Led Zeppelin IV / Zoso). Released in November 1971 on Atlantic Records, this iconic masterpiece features legendary anthems including "Stairway to Heaven", "Black Dog", "Rock and Roll", and "When the Levee Breaks". Why This Pressing is Special: This copy features the rare, short-lived "Kinney Music of Canada, Ltd." manufacturing credit along the bottom edge of the label. Kinney distributed for Atlantic only briefly in late 1971 before transitioning to WEA Music, making this an authentic, true first-state Canadian pressing. Crucially, this lot includes the original textured, heavy-paper custom inner sleeve featuring the tracklist, credits, and the iconic runes, which is frequently missing or split in vintage copies. Vinyl Condition:Good (G)-(VG). Vinyl retains a nice, glossy sheen with some light, superficial surface paper scuffs and hairlines. Plays through with some light vintage surface crackle but no skips.] Pickup category timeslot {A}
