Comments and Reviews


Bgray1 9th Jun 2023		Added another set of label variant images.



musictom SUBS 23rd Oct 2022		Viewlex / Goldisc Recording Products, a pressing plant in New York.



Break-In Master 22nd Oct 2022		What does VGRP stand for?



Break-In Master 22nd Oct 2022		Funny how the Columbia Terre Haute is the only one that doesn't say, "STEREO" on the left end of the white bar! When this album first came out I was in my first year of high school and most of us called the album, "Zoso". Even some of the radio jocks called it that for a number of years.



W.B.lbl 22nd Jan 2022		Makes one wonder if regular stock copies were made in Pitman with the 'CP' suffix on the label; as except for that insert with the CTH, the label fonts were otherwise Pitman.



thewillismon 21st Jan 2022		Added second pressing labels with CTH suffix.



W.B.lbl 21st Jan 2020		From what I've gathered on that other site, which lists deadwax info, such pressings listed 'F.T.' in said runouts. Which would point to Fidelatone of Hawthorne, CA being a backup presser.



musictom SUBS 19th Jan 2020		Did we ever figure out what plant suffix "FT" stands for on 1095326-1095327?



W.B.lbl 19th Jan 2020		'VGRP' as indicated on {Images #2118383 & 2118384} would have been Viewlex / Goldisc Recording Products (which Sonic had become by 1975).



edlongus SUBS 11th Jan 2020		Another set of label variant scans added.



Break-In Master 9th Nov 2017		It's actually called, "Untitled".



TheDroid 8th Oct 2016		Added side two label image that appears to be the mate to image # 523316. This is actually a Monarch Records, Los Angeles, CA pressing with the following deltas: Side One Δ 16345. Side Two Δ 16345-X. Also added two stickers that were on the cover of the originals of this release.



Vinylville 5th Jul 2016		Just adding my two cents to the title mystery... Every Atlantic or Warner, WEA, etc., distributor catalog I've ever seen has always listed the album title as "Untitled". Therefore, I've always felt it safe to say the official title is Untitled.



W.B.lbl 4th Jul 2016		Ah, you're learning, grasshopper! You may be a Jedi, yet . . . ;-)



rustieneil SUBS ● 3rd Jul 2016		Added further label variant (Images #1096635 & #1096637) with Rockefeller Plaza address but no Warner symbol. Also has a pressing plant suffix VSRP not listed so far which my limited searching suggests may be Viewlex/Sonic Recording Products.



W.B.lbl 25th Jan 2016		Another aspect of Monarch pressings is on the promo {Images #956989 & 956992}: the 2.875" diameter pressing ring indent in the label area.



musictom SUBS 25th Jan 2016		I believe the promo copy is from Monarch even though it does not indicate so on the labels: MR in a circle and delta numbers in dead wax. A myriad of other markings also.



bsf1975 25th Feb 2015		Variant labels added



John davey 20th Aug 2014		I have a copy of this album that has the art on the inside of the gatefold left justified instead of right. I assume this was just a manufacturing error, but, I am wondering how many of these exist like this. Anyone else own one?



TopPopper 5th Jul 2014		Is that where (the artist formerly known as) Prince got the idea from?



ajtharp 5th Jul 2014		The first symbol is Jimmy Page, the second one is John Paul Jones, the third one is John Bonham and the fourth is Robert Plant. Anyone who has seen footage of their concerts will remember the first symbol being on Page's amp, the second being on the side of JP Jones' keyboard, the third being on the front of Bonham's drums and the feather symbol was on one of Plant's amps.



PhilMH 5th Jul 2014		What I read at the time this came out was that the four runes represented the members of the band, but as far as I know they've never said what the runes mean, or which members of the band they apply to.



ajtharp 5th Jul 2014		Bill Fick: Seems to me that the 4 symbols could represent the "IV" in "Led Zeppelin IV". I've always been of that same opinion too.



Bill Fick 4th Jul 2014		I had the Led Zeppelin songbook years ago that had all of the sheet music to their first 5 albums in it. Pictures of the front covers of all 5 were in it, & the album after this one was actually referred to as "Led Zeppelin V"!!!



Bill Fick 4th Jul 2014		Seems to me that the 4 symbols could represent the "IV" in "Led Zeppelin IV".



fixbutte 4th Jul 2014		Nobody called the album "Four Symbols" in 1972 or 1973, these were only smartass writers in later years.



nboldock 4th Jul 2014		I'm sure I recall it being referred to somewhere as "Four Symbols" as well but that always struck me as rather daft.



fixbutte 4th Jul 2014		It was called "Led Zeppelin IV" from the beginning, and we already did so before the next (fifth) album came out. You had to call it distinguishably, just "Led Zeppelin" was rather their first album, and nobody said "Runes Album" or "Untitled" or something like that then. It was listed as "Led Zeppelin IV" very early on different charts in Billboard (e.g. Feb 1972) though apparently not on the Top LPs chart, but in later months (e.g. March 1974) also there.



nboldock 4th Jul 2014		I don't think there will ever be a definitive answer to this question! However I think the way we have done it is right. I've always called it Led Zeppelin IV even though it's not really called that, officially. Much like the White Album it's an odd case that perhaps can be allowed to bend the rules.



TopPopper 4th Jul 2014		Isn't the title "Led Zeppelin"? Comparing the White Album, that just says "The Beatles" on it, but is officially called The Beatles.



Carouselambra SUBS 4th Jul 2014		It would be obvious to call it Led Zeppelin IV if the album that followed were called Led Zeppelin V, but it wasn't. Personally, I've always called it "Led Zeppelin's Untitled Fourth Album" and have even gone so far as to leave the album title line blank on my Ipod.



Bill Fick 2nd Jul 2014		Back when this was a current LP, I bought only 45's, but I heard "Stairway To Heaven" on WLS & initially played hell trying to find out which LP it was on. Didn't know at first that it was on this LP because it had no markings whatsoever. Finally, Atlantic Records starting putting a sticker on the shrink-wrap stating, "This album contains 'Stairway To Heaven'"...



Bill Fick 2nd Jul 2014		You bring up a very interesting point.



Carouselambra SUBS 29th Jun 2014		Just being a stickler here, but shouldn't the title of the album be left blank? This album was released without a title and any thing that people have called it over the years is not official. Perhaps we could put (unofficial) after the existing title as it was listed under the Billboard charts - "Led Zeppelin IV (unofficial)"?



Vinyl Fan 10th Mar 2014		Added cover images fmc.



Vinyl Fan 30th Oct 2013		Added labels from 1975 with Rockefeller Plaza Address and Warner Communications symbol. One of my favorite Zeppelin albums.



W.B.lbl 29th Aug 2013		Added label typesetting by Columbia Records' Pitman, NJ plant, for their Columbia Record Club issue as from 1971-73. Notice how, at the bottom, they used the matrix suffix usually associated with the Presswell plant.
