- RELEASED: Reissue from the late 70s after Atlantic had moved from Broadway to Rockefeller Plaza. The old address is still printed on the back cover.

Originally released in 1969.

- NOTE: The pressing quality is very good with nearly perfectly flat and slightly off-centered record. This one sounds more higher frequency oriented and even clinical

compared to the Japanese edition right below. I prefer the Japanese edition over this one.

- OTHER: Includes obi and lyrics insert.

- NOTE: The pressing quality is excellent with perfectly centered and nearly perfectly flat record.

This one sounds duller and distant compared to the US release right above.

I prefer this one slightly more than the US edition since the US edition is slightly too bright for my taste.

Originally released in 1969.

- NOTE: The cutting quality is excellent and well balanced with great bass. In addition this one also sounds significantly more rougher than the release right below.

The US Presswell edition sounds a lot more distorted and less bassy especially on the last track than this one.

This is like a combination of the Orlake pressing and Presswell pressing: the great bass of the Orlake pressing combined with good and lively higher frequencies.

I like this one the most of all the editions of this album I've yet played.

The first UK editions were released with plum labels.

Originally released in 1969.

- NOTE 1: Track A3 has two titles on this release: the gatefold cover credit it as The Lemon song but the side A center label reads Killing Floor.

- NOTE 2: The cutting quality is VERY good with great bass (maybe even a little too bassy) but unfortunately the pressing quality is not as good.

The records surface looks heavily wavy and the vinyl is noisy.

In addition this is much less dynamic than the two US editions below.

- INNERSLEEVE: white polylined paper innersleeve, die-cut to show the center labels (not the original innersleeve)

- RELEASED: One of the first US vinyl reissues from the 70s made and released after the Ludwig cut edition was banned.

Originally released in 1969.

- NOTE 1: The first US edition of this album was cut by Rob Ludwig but it caused problems in playback for poor quality cartridges and so it was recut.

Around 200 000 copies is said to have been pressed from the Ludwig cut and it's nowadays a holy grail for every audiophile Led Zeppelin fan.

- NOTE 2: Shelley Products is known to have pressed records for Atlantic but they usually had -LY suffix on the center labels, this one has PR suggesting this was

pressed by Presswell. Knowing some Presswell made records this was definitely not pressed by Presswell, it's possible though the Presswell center labels were

reused by Shelley or they were in such a hurry to press the records there was no time to update the labels for Shelley. It may also be a pure mistake.

Whatever the reason for the wrong suffix on the center labels is this seems to be very rare pressing.

- NOTE 3: Compared to the Presswell edition below this one sounds slightly more distorted but is otherwise quite the same. I like slightly more of the Presswell edition.

- NOTE 4: The two markings (0B or aB) on the runouts are VERY shallow and VERY difficult to read.

- RELEASED: One of the first US vinyl reissues from the 70s made and released after the Ludwig cut edition was banned.

The release right above was not pressed by Presswell though these two releases may have been released around the same time.

Originally released in 1969.

- NOTE 1: The first US edition of this album was cut by Rob Ludwig but it caused problems in playback for poor quality cartridges and so it was recut.

Around 200 000 copies is said to have been pressed from the Ludwig cut and it's nowadays a holy grail for every audiophile Led Zeppelin fan.

- NOTE 2: Of all the editions of this album I've played so far this is the one I like the second or the third best due to good dynamics in addition to warm and the

not-so-distorted sound even though the last track on B side has considerable inner groove distortion. The fact that my copy is in near mint condition might

have something to do with it as well. ;) I prefer more only of the plum label UK pressing above and the UK Orlake pressing above, the former because of

more balanced and lively cut and the latter one is better only because it has no inner groove distortion.

- NOTE 3: I've played only few Presswell pressings, namely those listed under Led Zeppelin here, and they all carry that signature warm and not-so-audiophile sound.

Otherwise the pressing quality seems to be VERY good though as this record is perfectly centered and nearly perfectly flat.

- NOTE: The pressing quality is very good with some waviness on the vinyl surface but no major defects that affect playback. The cut sounds somewhat muffled, is on

slightly lower volume and slightly less distorted than the cut of the Presswell pressed edition above.

For me it's pretty much a coinflip between the two editions, this one has slightly better cut but the Presswell edition has slightly better pressing quality.

- NOTE: Like normally for Canadian pressed vinyl the pressing quality is excellent but the cut sounds somewhat distant and muffled.

This one sounds more bassy, stuffy and less dynamic than all the early 70s US editions above but still quite enjoyable.

- NOTE 1: It's said Page was unhappy with the first four test pressings and rejected them so that the 5th cut (A5/B5) is the first cut used for commercial pressing.

- NOTE 2: This is an excellent quality, open and very lively cut though the B side sounds somewhat muffled compared to the A side.

The first German PF cut is a totally different animal, very dark sounding but still excellent and dynamic cut as well.

I prefer this the most of all the copies of this release I've yet played though the PF cut is not far behind.

- COVER: matt-surfaced gatefold cover without any text

- INNERSLEEVE: printed paper innersleeve (the original innersleeve)

- RELEASED: This is an early reissue from around 1971.

Originally released in 1971.

- NOTE 1: This is supposedly of the 6th UK edition of this album with orange-red/plum labels. Characteristics to this edition:

* band name printed on top/orange-red side of the labels

* Peter Grant credit permanently removed from the labels, no stickers on labels

* inverted feather logo on the B-side label

* Misty Mountain Top misspelling

* "Under licence from Atlantic Recording Corpn." added on the white center stripe of the labels

The otherwise identical edition without the inverted feather logo seems to be much more common than this one, about 5:1 ratio based on Discogs.

- NOTE 2: The cutting quality is excellent and well balanced with great bass. In addition this one also sounds significantly more rougher than the release right below.

I like this one the most of all the editions of this album I've yet played.

- RELEASED: Reissue from the mid 70s with standard green/orange-red Atlantic labels.

Supposedly released in 1973/1974 due to the presence of Warner W logo on the labels.

Originally released in 1971 with plum labels in the UK.

- NOTE: The pressing quality is excellent even though this is pressed on noisy vinyl but the cut sounds somewhat muffled and not so well balanced, too much bass and

higher frequencies sound damped/mufled and distant.

However, the bass on this record is simply excellent, even better than in the corresponding US Porky cut. You can clearly hear it from When The Levee Breaks.

- NOTE: This is a very good quality pressing, only slight waviness on the records surface and the record is slightly bowl-shaped.

The cut sounds dull and dark compared to the US or the UK the Porky cuts and there is the signature Record Service distortion in playback but otherwise this

is an excellent quality cut.

- NOTE 1: The sound quality is VERY good with zero surface noise though quite stuffy and the higher frequencies have something to hope for.

- NOTE 2: The third type of SIAE stamp on this release was taken in use in 1978 meaning this can not have been released before fall 1978

Originally released in 1971.

- NOTE 1: The pressing quality is very good with some waviness on the records surface and side A pressed off-center.

This is an excellent quality high volume cut and has better dynamics than the US Preswell release below but sounds a lot thinner than the UK reissue with

green/orange-red center labels cut by Porky above since the UK reissue cut by Porky has excellent bass.

- NOTE 2: I've played only few Presswell pressings, namely those listed under Led Zeppelin here, and they all carry that signature warm and not-so-audiophile sound.

The pressing quality seems to be VERY good though but I prefer more of the Monarch pressing below especially if you can find perfectly centered pressing of it.

- NOTE: The pressing quality is very good with little waviness on the records surface and side A pressed heavily off-center.

This is an excellent quality high volume cut but sounds a lot thinner than the UK reissue with green/orange-red center labels cut by Porky above since the UK

reissue cut by Porky has excellent bass. In addition this one clearly has different and less warmer sound compared to the Presswell edition right above.

I definitely like more of the sound quality of this record than that of the Presswell pressing above. I only wish this would be perfectly centered pressing.

In addition both CBS and WEA seem to have pressed this simultaneously in the UK.

- NOTE 2: It's said the very first UK edition had A1/B4/C1/D1 runouts and came with single fold on the insert.

There should also exist two slightly different versions of the single-folded insert though I've never seen any of them.

This copy with two-folded insert seems to be the most common one of the first UK edition.
