Notes

Contract pressing.
Probably printed by the UK Pye in the first half of 1970. The copyright information are listed as ‘Copyright Control", when later red/plum labels state ’Warner Bros and Jewel Music.
To meet the high demand for this album at that time, Polydor sub bargained the pressing of few copies to Pye. It is recognized because has a groove inside the label and matrices end ONLY with the letter A (side 1) and B (side 2).
It exists both with the error "Wreck" (printed in 1969) Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin II and with the correct title "Maid" as this copy.

Red/plum labels with:
A3 as "THE LEMON SONG";
A4 mistyping as "THANKYOU";
B2 as "LIVIN' LOVIN' MAID (SHE'S A WOMAN)".

On labels:
Made in Gt. Britain.

    Sound of these edition is awesome, real ROCK analog sound! I think, in some songs, maybe better than RL.
