Buying & Selling

# Led Zeppelin IV Vinyl Value Guide: First Pressings, Prices & What It's Worth (2026)

**Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album came out on 8 November 1971 and has sold over 37 million copies**, so an ordinary copy is a common record, usually worth listening-copy money. You can recognise a UK original in a minute: Atlantic **2401012** on a red and plum label, `2401012 A//3` stamped in the dead wax, and `PECKO DUCK` and `PORKY` hand-etched beside it. A US original is Atlantic **SD 7208** on the green and orange label, with `ST-A-712285` and `AT/GP` in the runout. Real money is paid for early UK label variants in top condition and, above all, for signed copies. This guide lists the documented sales, with where and when.

By VinylAI Editorial Updated October 12, 2026

## Key Takeaways

- The UK original is Atlantic 2401012 (released 8 November 1971) on the red and plum label, stamped 2401012 A//3 and B//3 or B//4 in the dead wax and hand-etched PECKO DUCK and PORKY by cutting engineer George Peckham.
- The earliest UK labels have an upside-down feather on side two and an "Executive Producer: Peter Grant" credit; Discogs documents eight plum label variants in all.
- The US original is Atlantic SD 7208 on the green and orange label, matrices ST-A-712285 and ST-A-712286 with AT/GP (George Piros) in the runout, pressed at several plants.
- The highest verified Led Zeppelin IV result is £19,200 for a first pressing signed by all four (Bonhams, 24 May 2023). Unsigned UK first pressings sold for £350–£472 on eBay in 2017–2018.

## What a Led Zeppelin IV record is really worth

Start with the number that decides most of this page: Led Zeppelin's untitled fourth album has **sold over 37 million copies worldwide** and is certified 24 times Platinum in the US. Discogs lists 557 vinyl versions of it. A record pressed on that scale is in millions of homes, and most of those copies were played.

So the honest answer for most readers is this: **an ordinary played copy of Led Zeppelin IV, from any decade, is a listening copy**. It usually sells for less than a new reissue costs. That is a rule of thumb, not a quote, and it holds for most 1970s US pressings, the 1972 UK reissue and the 1977 US reissue.

Three things move a copy above that line:

- **It is a 1971 UK first pressing** on the red and plum Atlantic label (catalogue number 2401012), ideally one of the earliest label variants.
- **Its condition is exceptional**, including the heavy unlaminated gatefold and the original grey inner sleeve.
- **It is signed.** Every five-figure Led Zeppelin IV result we could verify was a cover signed by all four members.

The rest of this guide shows how to tell which copy you have, from the label and the dead wax, and lists the sales we could actually document.

## The UK first pressing (Atlantic 2401012): how to tell

The album was released on 8 November 1971. In the UK it came out on Atlantic, marketed by Polydor, with catalogue number **2401012**. The label is red and plum with a white centre strip, and the catalogue number at three o'clock reads "deluxe 2401012" ("deluxe" is Polydor's price band, not an edition name). In the UK this design is called the "plum" label.

Check these points on a UK copy:

1. **Sleeve:** a heavyweight, unlaminated gatefold with no title, no band name and no catalogue number on the front, back or spine. Inside is *The Hermit* painting by Barrington Coleby.
2. **Inner sleeve:** a dark grey card inner with the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" on one side and the credits on the other. A copy without it is incomplete.
3. **Stamped matrix:** `2401012 A//3` on side one and `2401012 B//3` or `2401012 B//4` on side two, followed by small mother and stamper numbers.
4. **Hand-etched signatures:** `PECKO DUCK` on side one and `PORKY` on side two. Both are the signatures of cutting engineer George "Porky" Peckham, credited on Discogs as the lacquer cutter.

The etchings show a Peckham cut, and they appear on every plum label variant; "A Porky Prime Cut" and "Pecko" also turn up on the 1972 reissue. The label tells you how early your copy is. The [guide to reading runout numbers](https://vinylai.app/guides/vinyl-runout-matrix-numbers-decoded/) explains the mother and stamper digits.

## The plum label variants: which one came first

Discogs documents eight verified variants of the UK plum label, all with the same 2401012 matrices. The earliest ones carry details that were changed within weeks:

- **First variant:** the feather symbol on the side two label is printed upside down. The label credits "Executive Producer: Peter Grant" and names only Kinney Music Ltd. as publisher, with no Superhype Music credit. The band name is printed below the spindle hole.
- **Second variant:** the feather is the right way up, but the Peter Grant credit is still there.
- **Stickered copies:** some early copies had correction stickers applied over the label text, before reprinted labels arrived.
- **Later variants:** the Peter Grant credit is gone and Superhype Music Inc. is added. "Led Zeppelin" moves above the spindle hole. One variant misprints "Misty Mountain Hop" as **"Misty Mountain Top"** on the side two label.

Jimmy Page had the Peter Grant credit removed from the labels, but it stayed on the printed inner sleeve. An inner sleeve with the credit therefore does not date the record. Read the label.

Is the first variant much rarer? Collectors pay more for it. On Discogs, the first-variant release has about 3,900 owners and about 4,500 users who want it, which is a high want-to-have ratio for a record this common. For grading the sleeve and inner separately, use our [vinyl grading guide](https://vinylai.app/guides/vinyl-grading-guide/).

## The US original (Atlantic SD 7208): labels, plants and runouts

The US release is **Atlantic SD 7208**. Check these points:

- **Label:** US copies have Atlantic's green and orange (often called red and green) label, with "1841 Broadway" in the rim text. The red and plum label is the UK design.
- **Label matrix:** `ST-A-712285` on side one and `ST-A-712286` on side two. A plant code may follow, such as `PR`, `RI` or `MO`.
- **Runouts:** etched, for example `ST-A-712285-C AT/GP PR PORKY` and `ST-A-712286-C PR PECKO DUCK`. `AT/GP` marks a cut at Atlantic Studios by George Piros. The Porky and Pecko Duck signatures appear here too.
- **Sleeve:** a gatefold with no text on the outside, and a printed inner sleeve.

**Plants.** Discogs documents 1971 copies from Presswell (`PR` on labels and runouts), Philips in Richmond, Indiana (`RI` after the label matrix), Monarch in Los Angeles (`MO` on the labels, with an `MR` logo and `△16345` in the dead wax), and Columbia's plant in Terre Haute (no suffix on the label matrix). All of them are first pressings. No plant is officially "the" first, and no plant is a bootleg.

**Later US copies.** In 1977 Atlantic reissued the album as **SD 19129** with the same artwork, and Discogs notes that this version stayed in production into the mid-1980s. If your label says SD 19129, you have a reissue.

## Other 1971–72 pressings around the world

Outside the UK and US, the album appeared with its own catalogue numbers. These come from the Discogs master release, checked on 12 October 2026:

- **Canada:** Atlantic SD 7208, made by Kinney Music of Canada and pressed by Quality Records. The runouts read `SD-7208-S1` / `SD-7208-S2` with a `Q`.
- **Germany:** Atlantic **ATL 50 008**, pressed by Teldec, with runouts `50.008-A PF` and "Manufactured in Germany". Some early copies came with a promotional poster.
- **France:** Atlantic 50 008, on a red and plum label, in an unlaminated gatefold. Some copies came in a printed clear plastic bag that carries the catalogue number and price code.
- **Japan:** Atlantic **P-8166A**, made by Warner-Pioneer, with a "Rock Age" obi priced at ¥2,000 and Japanese inserts. The obi is the only place the title appears. A copy without its obi is worth much less to collectors.
- **Australia:** Atlantic SD-7208. This is the most-owned 1971 version on Discogs, with about 9,800 owners.
- **UK, 1972 onwards:** Atlantic **K 50008**, on the green and orange label, with runouts like `K-50008-A1` and the "A Porky Prime Cut" signature. It is a reissue, not a first pressing.

## Promos, club editions and coloured vinyl

**US promotional copies.** Atlantic pressed white-label copies marked "Sample Copy Not For Sale", with the 1841 Broadway address. Some carry a black sticker on the front that lists the symbols and the track titles, since the sleeve itself has none. They are genuine and collectable. One graded EX on the vinyl sold on eBay for $225 in May 2007, according to Popsike's archive. Our [guide to promos and test pressings](https://vinylai.app/guides/promo-white-label-and-test-pressings/) explains how to verify one.

**Record club copies.** Two US clubs sold the album by mail. Record Club of America copies say so on the label and on a sticker on the back. Capitol Record Club copies carry **SMAS-94019** on the spine and labels, and `SMAS 1 94019` in the runout. Both are complete records, but collectors pay less for them than for retail copies. See [record club editions explained](https://vinylai.app/guides/record-club-editions-explained/).

**Coloured vinyl.** No coloured vinyl was issued in 1971. The first official coloured issue came in the UK in 1978: K 50008 on lilac vinyl, with a "LIMITED EDITION COLOURED VINYL" sticker.

## Every notable edition in one table

Discogs lists 557 vinyl versions of this album. The table below picks the UK plum variants, the US plant variants, the club and promo copies, the main 1971–72 national editions and the reissues that matter, with the side one runout as Discogs records it.

The reissues worth knowing:

- **Classic Records SD 7208:** a 180-gram LP (dated 2000 on Discogs) and a 45 rpm, 200-gram box (dated 2008). Both were cut by Bernie Grundman, with `BG` or "Bernie Grundman" in the runout.
- **2014 remaster:** remastered and produced by Jimmy Page, with lacquers cut by John Davis at Metropolis. The US/Canada pressing is **R1-535340**, pressed by Pallas. The European pressing is **8122-79657-7**, pressed by Optimal Media. There is also a 2LP Deluxe and a numbered Super Deluxe box.
- **Current pressings** of the 2014 remaster are in print and are the easy way to own a clean copy.

An original 1971 copy and a reissue are different objects for a collector. Our [original pressing vs reissue guide](https://vinylai.app/guides/original-pressing-vs-reissue/) covers how to tell them apart on any album.

## Documented Led Zeppelin IV sales

We found no auction or press record of an unsigned copy selling above $5,000; the highest documented sale is £19,200 for a first pressing signed by all four (Bonhams, 24 May 2023). These are the results we could verify, with where and when:

| Item | Result | Where and when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| UK 2401012 first pressing (third label style), back cover signed by all four, with letter of provenance | £19,200 incl. premium | Bonhams, Rock, Pop & Film, lot 174, London, 24 May 2023 |
| Front cover signed by all four (record not included) | $13,912 incl. premium | RR Auction, lot 150, ended 23 Oct 2014 |
| Signed by all four, record included | $2,972 incl. premium | RR Auction, lot 941, ended 26 Apr 2012 |
| UK first pressing, first label (Peter Grant credit, inverted feather), A//3 / B//3, vinyl EX | £472 | eBay, 14 Aug 2017 (Popsike archive) |
| UK first pressing, stickered early label, A//3 / B//3, vinyl NM | £350 | eBay, 31 Aug 2018 (Popsike archive) |
| UK plum label, later variant, A//3 / B//4, EX++ | £103 | eBay, 11 Aug 2010 (Popsike archive) |
| US SD 7208 white label promo, vinyl EX/EX+ | $225 | eBay, 18 May 2007 (Popsike archive) |

Two things stand out. First, the signatures carry the money: an unsigned UK first pressing in excellent condition sold for hundreds of pounds, not thousands. Second, the eBay results are a few years old and prices move, so treat them as an order of magnitude, not a price list. For your own copy, compare recent completed sales of the *same label variant and matrix*, never "Led Zeppelin IV" in general.

## Which Led Zeppelin IV edition to buy

| If you want… | Buy | Why |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The original UK sound and object | A 1971 UK 2401012 plum label with `PECKO DUCK` / `PORKY` and the grey inner | The collectable original. Pay more only for an early label variant and clean vinyl. |
| A US original, cheaply | A 1971 SD 7208 with `AT/GP` runouts, any plant | Common and inexpensive. Pick on condition. |
| A new copy as a gift | The 2014 Jimmy Page remaster (R1-535340 or 8122-79657-7) | In print, 180-gram, easy to find. |
| An audiophile pressing | Classic Records SD 7208 (Bernie Grundman) | Out of print. Check the runout for `BG`. |
| A collector's Japanese copy | Warner-Pioneer P-8166A with the Rock Age obi and inserts | Complete copies are scarce outside Japan. |

If you are thinking of a sealed copy, read [what sealed records are really worth](https://vinylai.app/guides/sealed-vinyl-records-value/) first. A shrink-wrapped Led Zeppelin IV is far more likely to be a reissue than a 1971 pressing.

## Check your copy in a minute

1. **Read the catalogue number on the label.** 2401012 means a UK 1971 copy. SD 7208 means a US, Canadian or Australian copy. K 50008 means a UK reissue from 1972 onwards. SD 19129 means a US reissue from 1977. R1-535340 or 8122-79657-7 means the 2014 remaster.
2. **On a UK plum label,** look at the side two feather symbol and the bottom of the label. An upside-down feather, a Peter Grant credit, or correction stickers mean an early variant.
3. **Read the dead wax.** `A//3` plus `PECKO DUCK` means a UK original. `ST-A-712285` plus `AT/GP` means a US original, and the plant code tells you where it was pressed.
4. **Check completeness:** the inner sleeve with the "Stairway to Heaven" lyrics, and the obi on a Japanese copy.
5. **Grade honestly**, the vinyl and the sleeve separately.

If you would rather not squint at runouts, VinylAI can do the first step for you: photograph the label and it identifies the release and the pressing, then adds it to your collection. When you are ready to sell, our guide on [how to sell vinyl records](https://vinylai.app/guides/how-to-sell-vinyl-records/) covers where each kind of copy sells best.

## FAQ: Led Zeppelin IV vinyl value

How can I tell if my Led Zeppelin IV is a first pressing?

For a UK copy, the label is red and plum with "deluxe 2401012" at three o'clock, the dead wax is stamped `2401012 A//3` and `B//3` or `B//4`, and it is hand-etched `PECKO DUCK` and `PORKY`. The earliest labels have an upside-down feather on side two and a Peter Grant credit. A US original is Atlantic SD 7208 on the green and orange label, with `ST-A-712285` / `ST-A-712286` and `AT/GP` in the runout.

How much is an original Led Zeppelin IV vinyl worth?

Most original copies are worth listening-copy money, because the album sold over 37 million copies and Discogs lists 557 vinyl versions. UK 1971 plum label first pressings in excellent condition sold on eBay for £350–£472 in 2017–2018, according to Popsike's archive. Signed copies are a different market: a cover signed by all four made £19,200 at Bonhams in May 2023.

What is the most valuable Led Zeppelin IV record?

The highest result we could verify is £19,200, including premium, for a UK 2401012 first pressing whose back cover was signed by Plant, Bonham, Page and Jones. It sold at Bonhams in London on 24 May 2023, lot 174. RR Auction sold a front cover signed by all four, without the record, for $13,912 in October 2014.

What do the "Pecko Duck" and "Porky" etchings on Led Zeppelin IV mean?

"Pecko Duck" and "Porky" are the signatures of cutting engineer George "Porky" Peckham. They are etched on every UK plum label variant of 2401012, and the same signatures also appear in the runouts of US SD 7208 copies. Later UK K 50008 reissues carry "A Porky Prime Cut" and "Pecko". To date a UK copy, read the label details and the stamped A//3 / B//3 matrix.

What does a US first pressing of Led Zeppelin IV look like?

The red and plum Atlantic label is the UK and French design. US 1971 copies of SD 7208 have Atlantic's green and orange label, with "1841 Broadway" in the rim text. They were pressed at several plants, including Presswell (PR), Philips in Richmond, Indiana (RI), Monarch (MO) and Columbia in Terre Haute. All of these count as first pressings.

Are Led Zeppelin IV promos and reissues worth collecting?

Some are. US white-label "Sample Copy Not For Sale" promos are genuine and collectable. One in EX condition sold on eBay for $225 in May 2007, according to Popsike's archive. The Classic Records reissues cut by Bernie Grundman are sought by audiophiles. The 1978 UK lilac vinyl K 50008 was the first official coloured vinyl. The 2014 Jimmy Page remaster is in print and is a listening copy.

Where is the best place to sell a Led Zeppelin IV first pressing?

For an ordinary original, use a marketplace where buyers search by pressing details, and list the catalogue number, the label variant, the matrix and the grade. For a signed copy with provenance, specialist auction houses are the route: Bonhams and RR Auction have both sold signed copies. Photograph the label, the dead wax and the inner sleeve, because buyers check all three.
