UK Pye pressed discs with picture labels

The vinyl becomes dark see-thru crimson when held up to strong light particularly sunlight (apparently this is QUIEX vinyl but there is no clear definition of this or any credible evidence-suffice to say some vinyls behave in this way-Elton John DJM pressings around 1974-5 are a case in point but there have been examples in the 80s and 90s also)

Amended matrices -stamped 588171 (with 2nd '8' crossed out and '7'-amended to '8' hand etched) on both sides

Looks like someone got their knickers in a twist-clearly thought they ought to amend the '8' to a '7' and having done so realised that there wa NO NEED to do so and re-amended it to an '8' !

Any other explanation ?

Matrix variant A1/B1: A//1 and B//1 matrics followed by 1  1  2  2  and  1  1  8

Original red/purple label

Producer credits variant NO: with no producer credits

Label one has a sticker tear

Disc has been well played and there is some light background noise in the quieter bits and a few odd ligtht clicks but otherwise a very strong sound

Cover variant OR/SILV: Cover is the 1st issue orange lettering with the silver bottom strip and 'Led Zeppelin' at the very top

This strip was caused by incorrectly setting the folding too high and therefore pushing the name too high and bringing up the otherwise invisible silver stripThis was amended shortly after to bring down the name and disappear the strip

see other listings for many variants

The cover is intact but has the usual thumb and edge creases but overall very decent

Spine lettering excellent except very tiny wear between the 'L' and 'A' of Atlantic which very marginally affects the 'A'

Limited edition 'silver mirror' vinyl

As with ALL copies the A side is a good 'mirror' but the B side has stained (some call it 'tea-stained')

this is a mysterious chemical process which normally afflicts picture discs (selected titles from 1983-1986 or so)

This particular copy only has this around the rim and is a pretty decent example

This is a real product and has markings probably from the factory '18' being quantity (instead of 20) and '01/01/02/02'

It is also squashed as it probably had something put on top after some of the contents were put into stock and the corrugated card box has therefore been squashed
