The first issue managed to get the song title wrong on track 2, side 2; ‘Living Loving Wreck (She’s A Woman)’, corrected to ‘Living Loving Maid (She’s A Woman)’ on 2nd press.
1st and 2nd pressings have a credit for production on the plum segment of the labels.
Also, all songs are listed as ‘Copyright control’ on both sides.
3rd pressing corrects ‘The Lemon Song’ to ‘Killing Floor’ by Chester Burnett (Howling Wolf) following a legal battle and claims of plagiarism against Led Zeppelin.
Production credit to Jimmy Page now appears in the orange segment on the label.
Copyright now credited to Warner Bros. and Jewel Music.
1st reissue (c. 1972) on green and orange labels following Kinney Music Group takeover of Atlantic Records.
Note the copyright statement and compare to the later 70’s reissue below once Atlantic became part of the WEA Group.
Late 70’s reissue label. Compare to above.






Hi I have a Led Zepplin II red and purple label Atlantic vinyl LP 588198 1969 – have you any idea of the value? Thanks Sue
Hi Sue, condition is everything! Mint or well played and scratched…? Also, the earliest variants are the most collectable. Which one is yours?
cheers

Can you please provide any information about the two different pressings variations that you show for Led Zep 2. As you can see the first image shows a recessed inner ring , was this pressed by another company as Decca did for early Beatles albums ?. Any info would be much appreciated.
A good comment and well made. It is highly likely that given the surge in popularity following the first album that more than one pressing plant was contracted to produce LZII, hence the differences in ridges in the vinyl etc. I think only those actually producing these at the time could really confirm this though…
