Going through my Dad's non-Beatles albums now - feel a little back at square one with regards to the different labels and ways of stamping that I've come across, but I'm sure some you have wide reaching record knowledge and hopefully don't mind shedding some light, much appreciated as always :)

So Led Zeppelin:

Led zeppelin 588171
It's orange lettering, but with a silver/grey line along the bottom - I think that means it's one of the earlier orange ones that cam straight after the turquoise ones?
It's a red/plum label with A//1 B//1 matrices and one "8" on each side is crossed out and then an 8 is written (scratched?) next to it - the other stamps after the matrices are 1 and then something else I can't read
It also has the superhype credit on both sides

I'm a bit confused about the combination of these things though, as I'm sure I read somewhere that if it has the silver line on the cover then it shouldn't have the uncorrected matrices, as those were slightly later? But then I think I also read that the superhype credits also suggest it's earlier because they later changed to WB?

Any idea?

Do these things, or different combinations of, after the value a lot?

ok can tell you what i think I know....

Firstly the grey band i think could be yet another urban myth red herring.....I have found that sleeves that do not have DID have it when they came ungled, you could see it in the glued part.

In other words it may be simply the way the sleeves were folded and glued, most had the grey band exposed but some do not ...so it could be they ALL have the grey band..( but to be sure the only way is to go and un-pick the all non banded sleeves lol )

Yours sounds like the most desirable of the orange label copies as it has the superhype labels.....the uncorrected side 2 " 8 " is usually only found with the torquoise sleeves, yours is corrected and that is how it should be...

Thanks, that makes sense, about the grey band, it did sound a bit dubious when I read it

The matrix is "corrected" on both side 1 and 2, does that make a difference?

i thought it was only corrected side one but like I say I am not the font of all knowledge on these.....however yes it does make a difference as the uncorrected matrix is the earliest but like i say you should get an uncorrected in an orange sleeve so you probably have the most desirable orange sleeved pressing....

Excellent thanks

Other Led Zeppelin I have is their fourth one K50008

It has green and orange labels, which I guess makes it later?

It says "top" on the label, but I think it's supposed to be "hop"?

Side 1 has various stamps
2401012 (then something crossed out that I can't read) A//3 1 3 K50008A pecko duck (scratched in with something else I can't quite make out)

Side 2 just has
K50008B2 D Allen (scratched in)


Kinney music superhype credit both sides of label

Printed inner sleeve

Bit confused on this one, apparently the rim copyright extending into the green and the "W" logo seem to suggest the label is later, but the lack of symbols and "made" rather than "manufactured" seem to suggest it's earlier? Plus the stamps on side 1 seem to suggest it's earlier, but the stamps on side 2 don't correspond?

Hop, that is a Zep IV from around 76, the W logo comes in then...
