Notes
This release resembles the UK 'Plum' Atlantic pressing but with a red/gold/plum label.
This is the 4th (of 7) known 'plum' label variants. Specific to this label are:
'Marketed by Polydor Records Limited' at 6 o'clock on labels.
'Under license from Atlantic Recording Corp.' in white area under ATLANTIC on left side.
LED ZEPPELIN is printed above spindle hole, Variation 3 had a printed label in smaller type-face, and Variations 1 and 2 had the band name printed below the spindle hole in the 'plum' section.
Catalogue number at 3 o'clock above circular Atlantic logo reads 'deluxe 2401012'
There is no Peter Grant credit, and song publishing credits are:
Kinney Music Ltd./Superhype Music Inc.
Side 2 has the following error: 'Misty Mountain Hop' is misspelt 'Misty Mountain Top'.
While the label states 'Made in Gt. Britain', the 'deep groove' in the center of the label indicates that the record itself was pressed elsewhere. It also has a gold sticker on the cover stating 'Led Zeppelin IV Album'.
It was likely pressed in SE Asia by a member of the British Commonwealth.

This is the most mysterious item in my LZ collection. I originally assumed it was pressed for export due to the 'made in Gt Britain' labels. I showed this to a message board of very knowledgeable long-time collectors and determined that was not the case: apparently a printer in another country copying a British label was not particularly concerned about small details like that. The other clue is the 'deep groove' in the center label, which I was told is a result of retrofitting an old record press that made 10" discs to make the larger size. One person said he had seen the label before, on an Aretha Franklin record that was part of a huge collection of records from India and other nearby countries. The high quality of the printing and pressing and the British label made me conclude it is from a member of the British Commonwealth, possibly for sale to British military personnel in the few bases it still occupied at the time (in Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore). Other possibilities are Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, the Seychelles, or the Maldives.
If anyone has information, please let me know. Also, let me know if I should leave the country of origin blank or change it to the U.K.
