LED ZEPPELIN - Led Zeppelin II 


Rare 1969 UK second issue 9-track LP 


On the plum & red Atlantic label which lists The Lemon Song on both sleeve & labels where later issues list it as Killing Floor

This was the second studio album, released on the 22nd October 1969. 

The first issue label features 'The Lemon Song' title, but following a claim of plagiarism levelled at Led Zeppelin this song had to be renamed to 'Killing Floor' and also credited to Chester Burnett. 

The Polydor press sleeves are a lighter brown in colour. The sleeve also credits 'The Lemon Song' and this was not changed for later issues. 

The labels still list 'Copyright Control' publishing credits and have 'Produced by Jimmy Page' under the titles.

This second issue has corrected the 'Livin' Lovin' Wreck' error of the first issue and now reads 'Livin' Lovin' Maid (She's A Woman)', which is still wrong and was further corrected with the third Polydor imprint.

'Thank You' is still one word, which was also corrected with the third imprint.

The Side Two composer credits for Heartbreaker & Moby Dick still list 'Jones' rather than 'Baldwin'.

This second issue now has stamped, rather than scratched matrices.

Condition

The sleeves for the early issues are known for being easily damaged & worn while this one has general light shelf / ring wear, a little mild foxing/discolouration with no rips or splits
